If everything you needed to achieve your goals were all in your comfort

zone... You'd already have it! You dont, so that means you need to getlaunched out of your comfort zone, and into a Millionaires comfort zone.Where nothing is comfortable and everything is Possible!

Most people accept whatthey should be doing, insteadof taking the time to figureout what they want to bedoing. Joseph Campbell, amodern philosopher whostudied Greek mythology,

said, Find your bliss If youfollow your bliss, you putyourself on a kind of trackthat has been there all thewhile, waiting for you and you begin to live the life you ought to be living.Bottom line, successful people force their reality to create their Life.

Since we're talking about getting out of our comfort zone, let's talk aboutthe transformation of a dream. In order to transform the dreams you have andmaking them a reality, yes I'm afraid it's true; it's going to require hard workand passion. If youre looking for a You are here sign, youve found it. Thisis step one. When you first sit down to find your Passion, you must set asideobstacles, such as Time, Money and Obligation.

To start to change the direction of your life, you need to look inside yourselfand ask, What is it you really want? The answer to this question is going togive you the solution to what it will take to force your dreams into reality.Make sure the people who you are asking for advice are going to give you goodinput. So this step is all about digging deep and finding that Passion you have.

Create two lists, one that iswhat you love to do, and theother what abilities you have.These lists will start to overlap,or create connections. You

have it! You just need to breakapart what your biggest dreamsare and pick one. You have tofind and focus your Passion. Itis what will inspire you to dothings you never imagined

possible. Passion will put in the long hours and be excited to do it. You arebuilding your dream, not someone elses. So ask yourself why are you doingit?

Passion is the Ignition switch. If you could do anything in the world rightnow, and money was no object, what would it be? (Sitting around doing nothingisnt an option). If youre not Passionate about the process, be Passionateabout the reason; your family, yourself, and your insatiable need to grow.

Heres the Key, if we knowit's all about perception thenwe just have to form beliefsthat bend reality around yoursituation. Live Life- like you

want it to be! Successfulpeople have a pattern ofbelieving in themselves evenwhen no one else does.There will be times, for yourBeliefs to work effectively you

will have to change what your focus is on!

Think for a minute, have you ever bought a lottery ticket? When you do,what do you focus on? The odds are 1 in 1.5 million. This is the one time inyour life you focus on the ONE! Start focusing on the ONEin your daily life,

not the 1.5 million.

A.N.T: Automatic Negative Thought. Many times when we start a new Idea,we will have Knee-jerk reactions, which is an immediate unthinking emotionalreaction. Many of our family and friends will have the same reaction. STOPIT!

This reaction is either from a past experience, fear of the unknown or a NewChallenge you get to conquer. You will have 100s every day. When youchange your focus to positivity and show yourself why this will be great, yourbeliefs will be effective.

Think for a minute about all the things that you have accomplished in yourpast. Knowing what you know now, could you have done better, faster, andmore efficient? When you think back on that event, what would have motivatedyou to act faster?

The main reason you fail to act is you are afraid to fail. If you never miss,you arent stretching yourself enough to see what is possible. Sometimes, theonly way you can tell where the edge is located, is when you go too far.

Decide right now, from this point forward, you cant fail anymore. Fromnow on, all you have are results and outcomes, not successes or failures.Everyone knows Thomas Edison tried over 10,000 times to create a light bulb.When asked how he felt about having failed 10,000 he replied, I never failed.I successfully found 10,000 ways not to make a light bulb.

In fact one of the ways he did itmade a small explosion, which hesaid would probably be helpful forthe military, he was right. TheSlinky, The Post it I can keep

going with products that werecreated or found while attemptingto do something else.

So remember, if you cant fail,all you can do is take steps to get closer to success. In order to get more outof your future, your vision and perception must make you uncomfortable atfirst. If everything you wanted was in your Comfort Zone You would have italready!

So to round out our foundation for success we need one more foothold. Atthe core of Forcing Your Realitythere are three basic foundation principles:

1. Passion2. Belief3. Values

From these blocks everything else can be leveraged, or built on, like ahouse. These are the corners of your foundation; after these three, everythingelse is more external and can be more easily manipulated, as long as thesethree principles are locked in.

You have two inputs for how youtake in information, internal andexternal. Your building blocks willfocus on your internal inputs. Afterthese three it will be primarily externaland you have less control over those.External inputs have variables you cantcontrol. For example, time, weather,other people, chance, etc. Focus more

energy on the internal inputs first, since you have more control over them. So,lets get into our final foundational building block Values.

Action Steps! I have to believe in myself before anyone else CAN!

Values- what you hold important. So you've sat down and found somethingyou are passionate about, you've ensured that you believe you can do it. OK,lets look at your Values, these will keep changing as you grow; I know peoplewho want to:

Spend all day with their family / Have quality alone time for growthRelax on the beach in the sand / Build something successful that will lastMillions of dollars in the bank / Give to charitiesNow these are all great values, but you can see they contradict each other.

For instance, you can't have alone time while spending the day with your family.We all have these conflicting values, we want to see our family but we also haveto make money to feed and house our family. Because of this we end up in asituation where we start prioritizing our values, "Ok make money to survivefirst, second spend time with family, third

Lets say you want to help peopleimpacted by hurricane Sandy in New

Jersey. If I keep bringing you dealslocated in California or Indianapolis, nomatter how good the deal is you aregoing to fight it, because its nothelping the people affected byhurricane Sandy. So then it reallycomes down to, if you aren't assuccessful as you would like, you haven't made it clear about what is mostimportant to you. Do you really want to just help people in New Jersey or canyou make money on a great deal anywhere? In other words, you haven't shiftedfrom your current Value Priority System to one that is line with your direction.

You must have Values that will change your focusto inspireyour new Goals,Life and Outcome! You may have a Value of always eating dinner with yourfamily at six p.m., great value, but that will prevent you from a lot ofopportunities at REIAs! So you may have to change it to allow newopportunities; so in the future you can have breakfast, lunch AND dinner withyour family every day.

A strategy is nothing more than a solution to a problem. If you dont planwhere you want to go, you end up where you dont want to be. The morecreative the solution, the more circumstances it will work in. Using Creativitywhen problem solving, always produces a bigger and better tool. You can haveall the belief you want but if you don't have the right strategy, youre as goodas a coal with no fire.

You only need one strategy to work. The problem is you never know whichstrategy is going to work in a given situation. The more strategies you haveknowledge of and access to the greater your chances for Gold. Tony Robbinssays, "If you want to see a sunset, you can have the belief that you want to seethe sunset, you can have the passion that you want to see the sunset; but if youkeep running east looking for a sunset, youre going to have a problem."

If the strategy you want to usewont work in your market, thenchange strategies or changemarkets. For example, in Ventura,

a flip market, anything under$300k is VERY competitive. Ifthere are investors/hedge fundswilling to take 8-10% profit andthat doesn't work for you, then youhave two options... Move to amarket that supports your strategy of a higher ROI, or switch strategies. Youcan't bend a market to your will; its a Huge Force that you want to move with,not against.

Find people implementing a successful system, then find out how you canhelp them. If people have a system that works, they understand they needothers to help them expand their system. If you want to get in deals or learnnew strategies that you dont have access to, find people that are doing it andoffer some type of value to learn the strategy.

Doing this will help you in multipleways: you will learn the strategy, youwill end up networking with people andpower team members doing the

strategy or types of deals you want todo, and you will develop a closerelationship with mentors who canelevate your goals, life andopportunities. Learn to be the best,

not just to learn. If you want to Master anything put yourself around thepeople that are Masters.

If you are around your mentors all the time, you will see Exactly how theycome across deals. In the process you will see its all about network. Thegoal stays the same; its the strategy that is altered. Real Estate is about

creating wealth, but there are multiple ways to do it. Your goals should be likethe Holes on a golf course, they dont moveyou do!

Whats the difference between Successful people and Dreamers? Successfulpeople have big ideas with a strategy; Dreamers just have big ideas. Successshould have goals that are concrete, like a George Washington on the $1 bill,but a strategy should be as flexible as NEO in the Matrix.

A friend of mine, Addiel, wanted to use bandit signs to attract buyers. Hisgoal was to get buyers and his belief was that a commercially made Bandit signwould be the most effective way to reach people. He soon found out thatcheap hand written Bandit signs were MORE effective than a professionallymade sign. He changed his strategy.

You dont want to hold your beliefsso strong that they cripple your abilityto be flexible. When you golf, the holedoesnt moveyou do. The reasonthey have so many different clubs isbecause of the varying possibilities.Think of success like golf, the hole isyour goal, and your clubs are yourstrategies.

You can see why you want multiple strategies to reach the same goal; themore creative ways you can solve problems the more successful you will be.Addiel is now in multiple deals because of that strategy!

Practice whatyou will say in a mirror or video to seewhat you look like. See how you comeacross and if you would believe you?Get dressed in clothes you would goand talk about your business in. How do you look? You want to be dressedthe same or better than the people you want to impact.

People want to do business with people who impact them. You want to playto your audience, and the more you can relate to them, the quicker and moreeffectively you can impact them. The only way to get better at anything is topractice, consistently. You can learn anything, you just have to keep practicingand putting yourself around people you can model.

But thereare also types of food that will make you more alert and have better focus.There are types of food that will curb your appetite and food that will improveyour mood.

You are a champion! You go for more than everyone else. Problems willarise if you only have the drive when youre in the right mood. And peopleonly want to be around you and listen to you when you are welcoming. If youhave a bad attitude, you might as well have leprosy. No one is going to wantto be around you, and we know if no one is around you, neither are the

opportunities.

Someone with great opportunities, who is always very excited, is not goingto go up to someone who looks like hes been in the DMV all day. We knowfrom countless studies, people who show positive energy have a tendency totransfer their attitude. Its like the movie The Butterfly Effect. You dosomething nice for a lady at the corner, who in turn does something nice for aman at the store, etc. You want to impact people in a positive way. Whenpeople think of you, you want it to be good things.

I was at the gym last week, and

as I walked in, two members werearguing about who fouled whom,to the point that they were kickedout by the manager. One ofthem was not done yet. Hejumped into his car, revved it up,and right as he started to show ushow powerful his Prius was,another car came around thecorner. Since he was having an apoplectic fit, he slammed on the gas, racedout of the spot all of five feet, where he slammed into the car coming around

the corner. He was so bent on being angry; he didnt care at the time aboutany outcome. If you want to be successful, you have to care every time aboutyour outcome! Once you know what you stand for, it wont be about how orwhat to do anymore, but when to do it.

Action Steps! I will Video myself to Ensure I look and sound effective!! Exercise and Good Food (Mental and Physical health) are a MUST!! I will always see the positive in a situation and draw people to ME!

What are you going to do, what are your goals? You have to know thisinformation to be able to relay it to others. Practice a 1-2 min companydescription. You have to be ready at any moment to tell people what you do ina quick, smooth, intelligent way; like an elevator speech.

An elevator speech is a quick monolog that you give about yourself if eversomeone asked what you do. This speech should be long enough to sayduring an elevator encounter. This mini ad should only be 40 words or less.By the end when the doors open, they should know what and who you are. Beprepared to ask something that will make them ask a follow up question, andnot, Can you stop talking.

You have to payattention to cues andknow when to and whennot to bring up topics

that are interesting toyour listener. You areyour own billboard!Make sure yourmarketing strategy forthis billboard is onPoint. If you paid$5,000 for a billboard,wouldnt you make sure it looked good and relayed the information youintended?

What if you didnt really put the time in to create a great concept? Wouldyou get the desired results? You are spending the same amount of time andeven money with your life. Your life is that billboard, and you are currentlyadvertising. Most people just dont know what they are advertising. Invest inyourself like you would invest in your billboard.

You need to get down to the core of who you want to be. Get it in controland figure out who you are. What will your branding be for you? Its not whoyou are now that is going to need a Wrecking Ball.

for life. When building yourconnections, there are somerules to building betterrelationships. One main ruleis you are going to have to bring value to the table.

In real estate, this means money, credit, people you know, or time. Forexample, we had an event in New Jersey once and Edwin S, a member of oursfrom Boston, MA who was willing to do whatever it took; got on a train in themorning for a four to five hour train ride, to be at the event for three hours,only to get back on the train and go back home.

Do you think anything is going to get in his way? He did it; would you?Now, I am willing to reach out and put him in touch with my network. Heshowed that even when his car didnt work, that major setback would not stophim. Edwin understands the biggest rule, when you meet people Face to Facethere is a trust factor.

too, it's in our nature. If you decide to watch TV all day, you'll eventually gettired of watching the same thing over and over- you are going to want to watchsomething different. Since growing into your success will keep you movingforward, hitting a Plateau in your constant forward movement is going tofrustrate you if you don't have a bigger purpose than yourself.

So many successful people reacha point of nothing left to conquerand give up, sometimes even killthemselves for the lack of more!So now we have to think. Well, ifsucceeding for me is not going tocut it, what will? How aboutsomeone elses success? Movefrom a successful investor, to asignificant investor. Whats the

difference? I like John Maxwells answer. He says, The difference betweensuccess and significance is Success is the focusing on your success,significance is when youre focused on the success of others.

I found a way to give back doing what I love to do. I have taught people forover 5 years how to invest in Real Estate, network and improve their lives.Another thing I developed with my partner Ivan Oberon, for this exact reasonwas, Coast to Coast REIA. It allowed both our network and us, to mentor andgive back, which we already do on a daily basis anyway. If we could instill thesame value of giving back to all the people we work with, our network wouldgrow exponentially. When you give, most people would suggest that it's a

taking away action. This myth is by far the opposite of how it works in yourlife. By giving, you receive. By looking towards others' needs, you are movingforward to your own significance. Just because youre giving back doesntmean you arent Moving Forward.

Action Steps! I learn, then do, then teach so I know it better and am giving back.! I am finding a cause bigger than myself.! The more I Help others, the more Others will help me!

around you; its with you too! The better you are able to communicate withyourself the more you will get out of you!

This world is all about communication and influence. As we get older westop thinking like a child. As a child, when we want something, we arent

afraid to ask. When someone was new to the playground, we didnt care wherehe came from or what he was wearing. We just made a connection and startedplaying. When we needed help, we asked and when we could help, we did. Aswe got older we eventually stopped using this method of communication.

The John Wayne concept in business doesnt work. You arent a lone wolf!You have multiple mentors and people that care about your success. Ask themfor help to build a plan on how to create a new you! Tell yourself what youexpect! Create a new level of who you are and give yourself a wonderfulreputation to live up to!

I was recently speakingwith an intern of mine lastweek. He was havingproblems feeling overwhelmedand asked for help. I toldhim about a strategy I usedwhen I stated, the Redlight/Green light process. Iwanted an easy strategy thatwould allow me to make quickdecisions. A lot of people

cant deal with multiple options and will shut down when pressured. We aretaking the yellow light and all the multiple options out of your life. If all youhave is a Red light and a Green light it simplifies life. You simply ask yourself,Does this get me closer or further away from my ultimate goal? if closer,green light!

At the beginning of this book Iasked you, How close to yourDreams are you? I know youthought you were light yearsaway. Ill ask you again, How

close to your Dreams are you?Albert Einstein said, The greatestoptical illusion is that ofseparation. If you close youreyes and I speak to you through aphone, it doesnt matter if Im right next to you or half way around the world.Your perception is your reality.

Distance, when talking about where you are in relation to other things, isonly an optical illusion. Its not only what you see! Its in your perception.With success, if its half way around the world, its only because you want it

there. I know this time when you close your eyes and think about it, theanswer is Im there!

I have given you all the mental tools necessary to go out and force dreamsinto your environment. You can stop dreaming about your perfectenvironment and start living in it. Putting these steps into action will take somemajor adjustments and a huge amount of commitment. When you put thesesteps into action however, you will reach your destination. Success!

Action Steps! Change isnt painful if I focus on my outcome.! The more effectively I communicate the faster I will get to where I

want to be!! I need to reread this book weekly to keep the information at the front

of my mind, this way I achieve the goals I Really want!
