Super strange day. Very eventful…

My first really MASSIVE internet marketing deal fell through…

Came to the realization that my laptop is shot…

Cracked up my car on my way to Ben’s office…

But all I can seem to think about is a story I had with the gas station guy this morning when I was picking up my daily Monster.

First off, I gotta make mention, there was a massive fire on the east side two mornings ago. At least ten people lost their homes, four local business owners lost their restaurants, and a historic east-side block lost part of its identity. Luckily, no one was seriously PHYSICALLY injured, but lives changed in a huge, huge way…

Flash back to the gas station conversation story.

My gas station guy told me one of the owners of one of the businesses was in his store yesterday afternoon and was near tears… gas station guy told him “things will look up”, but the former business owner told him that working at the restaurant is all he’s known for the past ten years… said he knows nothing else.

Then the quote that I can not stop thinking about. Former business owner of a near decade said:

“Some days I made money… some days I didn’t… but everyday I was happy… this is the first day in ten years I am not…

How powerful is that???

Now I’m not recommending you go into business to lose money, and I’m not telling you that you should be happy every single day or you’re doing something wrong. But what I am thinking, and have been thinking about all day long, is this:

How are you feeling about yourself when you look in the mirror before you go to bed each night?

Are you sad?

Upset?

Disappointed?

Unhappy?

Or

Are you HAPPY?

If more times then not, you find yourself outside the happiness realm, you need to make some MAJOR changes in your life. And you need to do so immediately.

Now I don’t know specifically what those changes are, but I bet if you sit down and think about it hard enough, you do.

Find your passion and run with it. That should make you happy… don’t you think?

(I wrote this article a couple of days ago and it took a bit to get it up on the blog)

Hello Everyone,

HOPE ALL IS WELL!

I just wanted to pop in and let you know that REI Lead Tracker is finally complete (it took me forever). It’s marketing tracking software for any real estate professional – geared more towards an investor, but anyone that spends money on marketing/advertising could get tremendous value in using it. It helps to measure lead generation, closed deals, and marketing expenses so you, the investor, is able to maximize profits and save time and money.

Right now I’m marketing it as a FREE giveaway so I can get some feedback and hopefully a few more testimonials before I put a price tag on it. You can find details and download info at http://REILeadTracker.com. Maybe you or someone in your circle of investors could find value in it.

Thanks for your time!

Your friend,
Koby

PS – Any feedback is much appreciated!

I’m amped up! And no, it’s not because I just drank a Monster. It’s because I just received a couple of testimonials from some local, active real estate pros. All three of these guys are highly respected local investors putting together a ton of deals week in and week out, and they’re all endorsing REI Lead Tracker.

“REI Lead Tracker software is super easy to use, very customizable, and has many great features. I really like that it helps me figure out exactly where I’m getting the biggest marketing bang for my buck. I highly recommend this software to all active investors…and you can’t beat the price!!!”

“REI Lead Tracker has really helped me streamline the way I track my leads, expenses, and performance. It keeps our business on track and has helped us focus more on the marketing activities that ARE working, as opposed to wasting time on those that are not. I’m an investor, but am also a Real Estate Broker and the versatility REI Lead Tracker offers has allowed me to use it for my retail buyer and seller leads as well. I’ve recommended it now to several investors that I work with and REI Lead Tracker is now making a difference in their businesses as well. Not too mention, it’s easy to use! It’s a great system, Thanks Koby!”

“I tried a number of systems that over promised and under delivered. REI Lead Tracker over delivers. I find it user friendly and easy to follow. I no longer maintain three different databases for keeping track of the process of my deals. With REI Lead Tracker, I am now able to know the effectiveness of my marketing. The graphs are great, which allows me to see how my marketing dollars are generating me more deals. Thanks Koby for such a wonderful system!”

Keep in mind, this software is still FREE, guys & gals, with absolutely no strings attached. I take that back. Two potential strings. All I’m asking in return is for a little bit of feedback and maybe a testimonial to add to my collection. Honestly those are two pretty weak strings, kinda like thread strength, because they’re really not requirements… just requests. That’s it!

Now happy investing & happy tracking!
