Don’t Confuse Activity with Productivity

We’ve been discussing the video that’s on our website. It’s a video of one of our members and mentors, Karen Davis, where she bought a house and it’s a little 2 1/2 minute video talking about how she captured $40,000 worth of equity, how she has bought 6 houses in a year, she’s 28 years old. $1,500 a month positive cashflow. She’s captured $140,000 worth of equity.

We’ve gotten a huge number of questions and comments about this video. One thing that got a lot of people charged up yesterday, it touched a nerve… I said there’s a bunch of people out there complaining about Obama, a bunch of people out there complaining about what’s going on in the economy, there’s a bunch of people out there complaining about what’s going on in the stock market…

…and then there are people out there like Karen Davis that are going out there and actually taking action and doing something.

Hustling

A lot of people made the comment, they said, “you know, it hit me personally because I feel like that’s all I’ve been doing. I’ve been sitting around, listening to the news. Telling myself why it can’t get better, telling myself I’ve got to wait for the economy to come back.”

And then here is Karen Davis on her 6th property out there hustling. She’s not out there listening to the news, listening to all these pudents talking about how bad everything is. She’ out there making things happen.

Your family can do this to, but it may take turning off the TV, and then get out there and do something.

Some people mistake listening to a radio show as taking action. I’m not saying that listening to radio shows isn’t valuable, but it doesn’t replace taking action… doing something based on what you’ve heard.

Don’t confuse activity with productivity. Don’t confuse talking about your job with doing something about it.
