I hope that got your attention! As we start 2010, I’m sure a lot of you have a lot of New Year resolutions and plans. There’s really nothing wrong with that. However, I can’t help but throw the same question to you as I did to myself, when I started to make plans for 2010. Actually, I am throwing the same question not just to real estate investors, but also to just about everyone who happens to read this. Let me try to explain below.
Are any of your plans for the coming year the same plans that you made last 2009? If you actually failed to do some of them, then I guess it would okay to have the same plans, as long as you never really got around to doing them.
Maybe you were just too lazy or out of focus(ouch!!!).
However, if you did manage to do what you planned to do, but did not get the results that you wanted, then maybe it’s time to consider other ways or strategies. Don’t get me wrong, I didn’t mean that you should give up, what I meant was that maybe there’s a better way to achieve your goals or objectives.
If you believe that things did not work out the way they should for something, then ask yourself “How can I make this work?”, a question I often hear when listening to Robert Kiyosaki’s audio books. That something could be about getting started in real estate investing or finding more real estate deals, it could be about things getting better at work, it could be about your plan to lose weight (ouch again!!!), that something can be just about anything.
What’s important is that if you realize that you are not getting the results that you want, then by all means, sit down, think it over, learn a lesson or two, then go ahead and do things differently!
After all, “We all know the definition of stupidity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” – as quoted from Robert Kiyosaki’s latest book – Conspiracy of The Rich.

Hi Jay;
Just wanna share with you my thoughts about last year and my outlook for 2010
2009 was very good to me. I got hold of my first significant real estate deal and streamlined the process of leasing out my other property in Bulacan. These activities were made possible by reading a lot from Kiyosaki, Maxwell and Larry Gamboa and by reading the contents of your site.
As I enter 2010, I am now ready to enter the exciting world of foreclosed properties. I am very optimistic that I will be able to get a great deal this year since I am armed with all the information I need and I have conditioned my mind to continually learn more. I even set aside my Friday nights, which normally before was for gimiks, to read books, update my finanacial files and browse thru foreclosed properties. Hopefully I would get a chance to talk about these with people with the same interests
So to those interest in someone to talk to about real estate investing and personal financial literacy, I am more than glad to discuss it with you. I normally hang out at Bo’s Coffee Club in Katipunan every Friday night. Just look for the bald guy fronting a laptop with head phones
Thanks again Jay for continually sharing with us
Benny
