Entrepreneurial Failure – Get Used To It

To be a successful entrepreneur you are going to have to learn to deal with failure. There is no way around it. Thomas Edison tried over ten thousand different experiments before he finally demonstrated the first incandescent light bulb on October 21, 1879. Bill Gates’ first company, Traf-O-Data, was a failure. Michael Jordan was once quoted as saying: “I’ve missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot; And missed. I’ve failed over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.”

In my short stint as an entrepreneur I’ve failed more times than I can count. I have also had my share of success, but it’s not even close to equal. The failures far outweigh the successes, and I’m sure I have a lot more failure ahead of me. I’m OK with that because I know that as soon as I stop failing, I have stopped trying to innovate. It’s the nature of the business of being an entrepreneur, and of success in general.

If it were easy, everyone would do it. It is naive to think that every good idea that you have will result in a successful business venture. I have yet to hear an entrepreneur say “every single idea I come up with seems to work.” More likely, you hear something like “I failed at my first five businesses before this one took off.”

Think about that for a second. Five businesses. Sometimes the number is three, sometimes it’s 20, but the important point is that most entrepreneurs don’t hit a home-run with their first company. It really does amaze me – how many people have the stones to fail five times and still start a sixth business? You have to be supremely confident and treat those previous five times as a learning experience for the sixth. And if number six fails, you have to do the same and move on to number seven.

In my opinion, the most important thing is how you deal with failure. Once you accept that it’s inevitable, you are able to learn from your mistakes and move on. It’s easy to let the failure consume you – not so much because you are pessimistic, but more so because it is hard to see something that you poured your heart and soul into be ignored or rejected. As soon as possible you need to come to the realization that your business is what they are ignoring or rejecting, NOT you. The sooner you do that, the sooner you can objectively analyze why you failed and learn the things necessary for improvement in the future.

Failure isn’t easy and is extremely frustrating, but it’s a necessary part of success. Don’t believe me? Ask Thomas Edison, Bill Gates or Michael Jordan! Ok, asking Thomas Edison might be a little tough, but you get the idea

Real Estate Investing Training

When you think of real estate investing, a few things probably come to mind. First of all, how familiar you are with real estate investing yields different ideas. You may think of real estate retirement plans, maybe portfolios. Many investors will focus on bulk REO investing, short sales or even virtual investing. With a poor economy real estate investing may turn the tide. Each real estate deal yields thousands of dollars in potential wealth. Short sales, bulk REO sales and virtual real estate can prosper when the economy is less than thriving.

Real estate investing becomes the world’s business and large number of buyers and sellers started making their real estate investment on the home properties. Florida is the beautiful state which comes up with more number of real estate properties for the buyers and Florida real estate investing on home property satisfies the requirements and demands of the people. Real estate investing is one of those “simple but not easy” things. The concepts are easy to grasp but it’s tougher than it sounds. Real estate investing is a profitable venture if you know the ins and outs of the business. If you are a real estate investor, there are different methods to generate profit in the real estate business.

There are many options available to the real estate investor. A first, which is probably the most common today, is for an investor to purchase an REO or bank owned property which is in short sale. These properties are available at generally a fraction of FMV (Fair Market Value). In turn the investor would then place the property on the market and keep the profit. Another option to the investor is to search for properties whose owners are already in distress. These people will generally be willing to forfeit their equity in the house to sell it. That equity then can be utilized by the investor to resale the house. These are just a few options available to the real estate investor. The key is to maximize your leverage and utilize new ideas to create new deals.

Now, you may be following me so far, but then comes the issue of funding the houses that you locate. I have seen several ways of doing this as well. Private lenders are my preference as they can offer you lower terms than traditional bank loans. Traditional bank loans are another option but they usually require a lot of fees which cut into your profit margin. In addition to these options, there are many more which include owner financing, lease back, etc.

The present market presents an excellent business for the real estate investor to enjoy large financial benefits with low risk. An investor will need to learn tons of strategies. Real estate investing allows you to be awarded with the coveted title of homeowner while at the same time creating a source of income from your properties. The basic knowledge of real estate investing as well as continuing education will result in your success. Real estate investing seminars and courses will teach you what you need to know to succeed. They will also teach you to handle different strategies.

As any field, education is key. Real estate investment requires someone to constantly maintain their education levels. The potential to create thousands of dollars in wealth increases with your education level. The basic knowledge will help you succeed as a real estate investor. You are likely to enter the investing world utilizing real estate portfolios or real estate retirement plans. You may also be thinking of short sales, bulk reo investment or even virtual investing. All of these options prove lucrative.

An excellent alternative to the high priced seminars and learning material is a board game developed resembling Monopoly. If you are already an investor, this strategic board game is a lot of fun that further enhances your ability to achieve your next deal! It is based on real life transactions that have taken place and incorporates “a hands on” teaching environment without risking real world losses. It is ideal for mentors and students alike.

Systems International Real Estate Network

The financial freedom educational package of Systems International Real Estate Network includes 7 unique wealth building systems: 1) SIRENsavings, 2) SIREN debt elimination, 3) SIREN University, 4) Residual wealth network marketing plan, 5) Nationwide real estate network, 6) No cost to rebate mortgage refinancing, and 7) Foreclosure prevention alternatives with short sale commission profits. Today we will discuss the first of SIREN’s unique wealth building systems: SIRENsavings.

The SIREN complete financial independence educational package is more than simply a home based business opportunity. It is a complete financial package that includes the unique wealth building system called SIRENsavings. I am very enthused about this system for my own family and yours. Get this: as a SIREN member you are able to log into the SIRENsavings.com site and on average immediately save over $1400 annually on items you would normally purchase everyday. SIRENsavings can be found at SIRENsavings.com and functions as a savings club to ensure affordability for your monthly membership in SIREN. SIRENsavings is linked to savings and discounts on cell phone plans along with over 250,000 merchants nationwide.

Because SIRENsavings on average will save most families $116 a month, members are easily able to pay for their $25 monthly membership. Just last week my brother-in-law who needed a last minute airline ticket to arrive at my father-in-law’s funeral was able to save an additional $75 off the lowest airfare available by logging into www.sirensavings.com. The unique and fascinating aspect of sirensavings is that it is not limited to savings in your local area. Over 250,000 merchants nationwide honor the SIRENsavings discounts. This means you can utilize sirensavings on your trip to Hawaii and save hundreds of dollars on your rental car, hotel, and your dining. For example just last week when I visited Oahu, the Aston Hotel right on Waikiki beach discount for SIREN members made the stay only $129 a night (that is less expensive than military lodging at the Hale Koa!) Normal rates at the Aston charged $269 nightly for the same room on the beach.

To join SIREN get back to the person who sent you to this site and simply visit www.sirensavings.com there you can access information that allows you to join SIREN. As a member you will be able to access a variety of savings on items you purchase everyday. For example, on your cell phone plan you can save 8 to 15% savings on your existing expenses. To save with sirensavings on cell phones it does not require you to switch or buy new plans to benefit from the discount. My discount on T-Mobile saves me $18 a month just $7 short of my $25 monthly siren membership investment. While T-Mobile offers a 12% discount, AT&T offers even more with a 15% discount off your minutes plan. You can log into www.sirensavings.com to see how much you can save on your particular cell phone plan.

Sirensavings allows members to print out two for one coupons at hundreds of local restaurants. My wife and I just dined on succulent Mahi Mahi at the exclusive “Tiburon” Restaurant and saved $25 by utilizing our sirensavings membership card. You simply log onto the www.sirensavings.com and print out the coupons you want to utilize. In fact many restaurants just require you to show your card without printing out a coupon. But just in case, my wife and I pre-print out 2 for 1 coupons at our favorite restaurants and put them in the glove compartment of our car.

Of the 7 SIREN unique wealth building systems sirensavings is probably the most simple to use and easiest to access. By logging onto the site you can immediately access the calculator to identify how much money you will save. Simply click on the box that says “find out how much you will save” and answer the few questions that follow. My family saves $1400 annually and this savings obviously does not include the $35,000 we saved last year on our home mortgage utilizing SIREN’s unique financing principles found in nationally acclaimed book Mortgage Massacre.

Although you can save hundreds of thousands of dollars by utilizing SIREN’s unique wealth building strategies by implementing them in a home based business, my golfer friend is happy to save $24 each week on the 2 for 1 coupon he utilizes at the local golf course. He simply logs onto sirensavings.com. He then plugs in his zip code. He then finds and prints out his 2 for 1 coupons that allow him to take his wife golfing for free each week.
