Setting Goals....Yeah Yeah Yeah...I heard it before!

Hello Fellow Investor,

I know we've heard it time and time again. Set your Goals...Write your Goals! We hear from every successful person yet we still don't feel like doing it. The fact is...If we won't take the time to figure out what we REALLY want, how are we REALLY going to get it. Some of us may need to figure out why we have not taken the time time to write down our dreams and desires. Are we afraid that if we admit to ourselves what we want and desire that we may fail? You have to be willing to write as well as verbalize your goals. When your goals are clear, you know what you should be doing and what you shouldn't be doing. For example, say your goal is to close on two deals for the month. Each and every activity that you involve yourself in should be directly focused on that goal. When you are on the phone with a friend ask yourself "Is this going to help me close two real estate deals this month? When you push the snooze button ask yourself "Is this going to help me close two deals this month". You may be involved in something very productive; however, if it doesn't answer "yes" to your goal question then you must stop doing that activity. If you practice this technique and train yourself to ONLY participate in activities that will answer "yes" to your goal question and lead you to your goals, you will be one your way to surviving as a successful real estate investor.

Meet Valarie Jacobs

Valarie Jacobs is no stranger to “Education.” From her Bachelors of Education from the Penn State University to her Masters of Education degree from Howard University in Washington, DC, she has created for herself a world of success through teaching. Post degree acquisition, she opened two children’s fitness centers in the northern Virginia area. While operating the centers full, she decided to explore the opportunities that the Real Estate industry had to offer. Soon after, she became a Licensed Real Estate Agent.

As a business owner, Valarie’s entrepreneurial spirit grew by the day. Her interest in Real Estate began to take the front seat to her other business ventures. Valarie began to study the “non-traditional” methods and strategies of Real Estate investment, learning the ins and outs of the transactions, when agents like her, were not used. She grew an extraordinary amount of understanding when it came to what happened behind the scenes of a real estate transaction. Her transformation to the savvy “guru” that she is now, came from becoming a loan officer so she could competently protect her clients when their best interests may not have been looked after by a mortgage brokers or lenders. She obtained a license in Title Insurance Production and began executing several acquisitions and closings per week.

With a natural heart for teaching, she became a Mentor with one of the largest Real Estate Investment Programs on the East Coast where she coached and mentored over 500 investors. She is thoroughly immersed in all aspects of creating wealth through real estate investment. She is President of DMV Real Estate Investor Association, Vice-President of Dynamic Realty and has a gift of guiding others to their destinies of financial freedom and dreams of being experts in real estate investment.
