Today's blog is going to be on the person that comes to me and says, " Saen, what do I do if I dont have a whole lot of money?" Which always kind of puzzles me because when I first got started doing this, I didnt have any money. When somebody said, "Saen, let's go to the movies." I was like hoping it was a dollar movie type of a deal. So when I say no money, I didnt have any money.

It never stopped me because I never thought well as soon as I get some money Im going to make this happen. What I knew I needed to do in order to be successful with this was get somebody else to get in that did have some money. The only way I knew how to do that was the way I was trained on anything, if you're going to want somebody to join forces with you and they are the monetary side, I want you to ask yourself a question. If you looked at yourself in the mirror right now and said, "I want to get some money from you." Would you do it with you right now? Probably not. So what would you want to see if you had $100,000 and somebody like you came to you and asked you for money? Did you get that? What Im saying is this. Why would you except them to give you money if you wouldnt even be willing to give yourself money.

So the biggest thing that you can do is what I call social proof. Buy some liens for crying out loud. I dont care if it's 50 bucks, $100 or $200. Whatever that is: get some liens. I want you to do this, you have to document everything. I want copies of the check you sent or the ACH transfer whatever that was. I want copies of the lien from the website; print that out from your deal. Pictures of the property, all of that is on Google, go to our site, we'll show you how to do that. You just document that. What you want to do is put those in plastic sleeves and folders and put it through a little, here is Page 1 and I did this and I did that. When you are sitting down with somebody, you are actually showing them what you really did. It doesnt matter if its $15 or $150 or $15,000. The result is the same. You got 18% on your money, or you get a property or whatever the case is.

Now let me tell you something, coming from somebody that does have money, nothing drives me more nuts than when somebody comes up to me and says, look I have a good idea, if somebody would just give me some money I could make it fly." But they're just a concept. What Im looking for is real. Give me the deal. Show me how its going to work, where my exit strategy is and I will go with that. One of the biggest resistance you are going to get is well, this sounds too good to be true, why isnt everybody doing it and all of that good stuff. You will have all that in there for them, if you got in them. Talk to your advisors online. But the most important thing they are going to want to see is proof. Show that it works. Once you do that, it could make a huge difference in who you're going to go to.

Besides that I want you to think about your state of going to somebody and asking them for money without that and going and asking somebody for money with that. Where is your comfort level going to be? Could you imagine going up to somebody that you know has got a lot of money and just say, "I got this really good idea that I heard you could make ... " as opposed to saying " I need to talk to you about something that is very serious, let me show you." Showing them documents from the county, everything pictures of the property, pictures of the check. In their position you are showing them 18%, they would absolutely be insane not to do something with you, even if it was just a little amount. It's a start. Thats exactly how I got started when I first started doing this. I didnt have any money. So what I did is found some liens and then I found some deeds. I went on a deal with somebody and within 4 months we just made just a tremendous amount of money and at that point I had a decision to make whether I wanted to use partners or just do my own deals. So its nice position to be in and that's where I want you to be at. So social proof, document everything, make copies of all your checks, all of your web links and all that good stuff, put it in some kind of order.

Here is another little tidbit before I leave. If a14 year old can understand what you've put together and understand the investment you are on the right road. That is not insulting anybody else. You've got to understand; I dont care who you are talking to, myself or any other sophisticated investor. If they dont know what tax liens are, they want to make a decision based on information and the more complicated you make it, the less likely they are to do it. So if a 14 year old can understand it, they are going to understand and go this makes sense. At least that will get that door opened up.

Now here is the last thing I want to leave you with. If you talk to that person that you know has money and they say, "no Im not interested." Its usually a couple of different reasons. Either you are not the person they look to for that kind of investment and so what they call their paradigm shift is like, " wait, Ive never had this guy ask me for an investment opportunity." So its not comfortable for them which is usually the case, or they are just not liquid right now. So either case your follow-up question when they say, "no I dont think Im interested right now," would be, "well who do you know that is interested?" Trust me, while you are talking about this strategy, somebody is in their mind that they coming to, so and so would really like this and theyll drop this. Theyll drop that, theyll say, you know what, Joe really likes this type of stuff." Get in into to Joe, sit down with them and I will tell you what Joe doesnt have to get over. They dont have to get over the fact whether they've known you as an investor type or not. They know you as somebody that a friend of theirs that they value their opinion referred you to and the likelihood of them giving you money goes up exponentially. I mean it's huge. So try those couples of things over and that will help you out. We'll see you on the next blog. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdneVGgiUp4&feature=youtu.be&a
