A Look at the Cash Flow Note Business
A friend of mine, Heather, flew in for her 40th birthday this weekend.
We just spent four hours catching up over expensive white tea and salmon salad at the Samovar Tea Lounge near our house.
It was great.
She told me about a current project that she was working on, and it really left an impression on me.
I automatically thought about how it related to my Cash Flow Note Business. Because of the simple fact that the story had a direct impact on you, your life, and the way you interact with people in your community.
The Cash Flow Note Business and its Relation to Heather
Heather’s an artist, a very talented one, who has specialized in story-telling through different media. Very different from my speciality which is buying notes.
Her current project involves a Native American woman from Washington. She is a member of the Sakgit Indians, and Heather has been documenting the life and wisdom of this woman.
Heather interviewed this wise woman, who was considered her tribes community builder. The woman told her that people were no longer fulfulled and they became emptier and emptier.
This when Heather brought up the Hopi poem about the Lone Wolf.
I just read it, and it struck me that I needed to share this with you to point out how it can serve as wisdom to all of us, especially for those of you starting a new cash flow note business, a new venture explored, and striking out on your own.
Cash Flow Note Business Success, Words of Wisdom
Let me share the poem with you ..
“There is a river flowing now very fast. It is so great and swift that there are those who will be afraid. They will try to hold on to the shore. They will feel they are torn apart and will suffer greatly. Know the river has its destination. The elders say we must let go of the shore, push off into the middle of the river, keep our eyes open, and our heads above water. And I say, see who is in there with you and celebrate. At this time in history, we are to take nothing personally, Least of all ourselves. For the moment that we do, our spiritual growth and journey comes to a halt. The time for the lone wolf is over. Gather yourselves! Banish the word struggle from you attitude and your vocabulary. All that we do now must be done in a sacred manner and in celebration. The poem ends with the words: “We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.”
Cash Flow Note Business, How Does This Poem Relate?
Here’s how this applies to you directly in your (and my) Note Buying Business.
a) The river flowing fast resembles you, and the unknown world of investing in nonperforming notes. It must terrify you.
b) The other people who are less adventuresome than you will “hold onto the shore” while you proceed.
c) Trust in the river - and that it has a destination - one that you’ll be able to reach if you allow yourself to “flow” with it. (example: multiple exit strategies for you defaulted mortgage business)
d) The time for the lone wolf is over, think of it this way, if you want to really succeed in your cash flow note business; you need to reach out to people, whether those be bankers, investors, real estate agents, or title officers.
e) Don’t ever think about this as a “struggle” - this is you learning how to swim in a river that moves faster than you’re used to - but once you learn how to float (in regards to the cash flow note business - you learn the lingo, you learn what a trade looks like, you study the process and you eventually close your first deal), you learn to let the river carry you along.
A Tip on Your Cash Flow Note Business
The important lesson learned? “We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.”
So listen to what I’m saying. Write this down, put it on your beside table or your desk even. This is your new motto for your new Non Performing Note Business.
You can do anything you put your mind to. There is no one else you need to wait for.
Imagine the conversation: Me, meet Me.
The power of this simple realization should not be underestimated.
As Heather put it to me earlier tonight, she said: “the most powerfully creative moments for an artist are when we get out of our way, and just let our creative energy flow.”
Remember, it’s YOU that you’ve been waiting for.
Make use of all the wolves out there and get out of the river.
