When the Conventional Route Won’t Work
Sometimes your dream isn't designed for you to personally go about it the way that most people do. It doesn't mean that the goal can't be reached. There is always a solution, but you'll have to tune out all the people who will say it can't be done that way.
My friend Greg Joseph is a prime example. Several years ago he decided to focus on acquiring real estate. If you knew his situation you'd say this business was an impossibility. He knew better. He did more than ten transactions with his business partners and never had to invest his own money.
Greg used his strengths and talents in each deal and so did his partners. He was not turned upside down when the real estate market went south because he did his homework. He did not play by the rules that the general public followed. I did the same thing when I purchased my first house. There was no real estate agent involved in the transaction and I managed to pull the deal together with no prior knowledge of real estate.
When you have your eye on a very specific goal and the normal avenues of acquisition don't seem possible, do not fear. The solution is always near! Begin to talk to others who have knowledge about your desired outcome. Ask them for out-of-the-box ideas on how to make it happen. Keep collecting data until you begin to see some glimpses of a route that will work for your particular situation.
My pal, Mary Allen, used to live in million dollar homes with spectacular views of the ocean and she paid a fraction of the cost you'd expect. She never owned the home and the homeowners saw her as an asset as she took care of their home while they were traveling or trying to sell it. It was a win-win situation.
Another example you've heard me talk about in the past is about my last car purchase. I was naive about what it took to buy a car off a car lot. I walked into the BMW dealership with a desire and no cash. I fell in love immediately with the M3. When the finance manager asked me how much I money I was going to put down I shrugged my shoulders with the look that said, "I dunno."
The next day I came back with my credit card and put the down payment on it. That gave me a month before my next bill came in to figure out where I was going to get the cash to pay it off. Just as I had intended, the Universe delivered the exact amount I needed to pay that bill off on time. The money came in a way that was highly unconventional and most people would say was near impossible.
Do you have your eye on something you want to manifest that seems out of reach right now? What if you decided to go for it with an attitude that it was possible? What if you played to win? I suggest you move forward with a curious mind and expect to get results. Pleasant surprises await.
