Don’t do me any favors!

Turns out good ol' MSNBC is at it again. But this time their "Sky-is-falling" attitude plays in our favor!

They ran an article recently suggesting that the "growing majority" (of who, they didn't say) are hesitant to buy a home because of the economy. Hell yeah!

Why is this a good thing? For starters, that means more for those of us who know how to buy, sell, and get richer in any market (aka you guys – the smart ones!)

Second, most of the folks they talked to were too concerned about the rising prices of gasoline. Here's the thing I've been hammering home to you – if you have created the wealth that only buying in a market like ours today can supply to you…the price of gasoline can go to $10 a gallon and the only concern you'll have is what to do with all that room you've got on the highway!

Third, I gotta tell you who they talked to in order to get this information. Sixty percent of the people interviewed said they definitely won't buy a home in the next two years. HAHAHAHA! This was done by a poll from AP-AOL where they COLD CALLED people in the middle of the day to ask them about it.

Just out of curiosity…who is at home in the middle of the day, most of the time? The unemployed or stay-at-home parents (majority, that is). What do MOST unemployed or stay-at-home folks WATCH during the day? Local news.

What does local news say is happening? THE SKY IS FALLING! THE ECONOMY IS IN THE TOILET! WE'RE IN A RECESSION!

So not only are their numbers horribly skewed, but it turns out that very little of what they're saying is true!

The sky is NOT falling, the economy is NOT in the toilet (ask me at one of my Training Events to talk about the guy who spent 5-figures on a doggie kennel in Cleveland Ohio recently! Oh, and we're NOT in a recession!

Watching what goes into your mind, who you hang out with, and defining your ideas about success, wealth, and money are some of the greatest steps you can take in order to propel your business to the next level.

Come join us on May 20th and 21st at one of my FREE Real Estate Lifestyle Training Events to rub elbows with like-minded investors (both new and seasoned) and learn just how to make fat, sweaty wads of cash in ANY market!

  • Amen Jim - you'll believe what you choose to believe. If you're a doom and gloomer by nature, not only will you automatically believe the bad news but you'll actually go out of your way to find it. Not that you'd ever have to go too far these days to find bad news...
