The Cash Flow Note Business, An Insight

Heather, a friend of mine, flew in for her 40th birthday the other weekend.

We went to the Samovar Tea Lounge near my house, and over some white tea and salmon salad, we spent hours catching up.

It was great.

She told me about a current project that she was working on, and it really left an impression on me.

I automatically thought about how it related to my Cash Flow Note Business. Because of the simple fact that the story had a direct impact on you, your life, and the way you interact with people in your community.

Heather’s Relation to The Cash Flow Note Business

I specialize in buying notes which is very different from Heather’s. She is a talented artist who specializes in story telling through different media.

Her current project involves a Native American woman from Washington. She is a member of the Sakgit Indians, and Heather has been documenting the life and wisdom of this woman.

What she told me was that this woman was a community builder - a wise woman in her tribe. And when Heather interviewed this woman in 2001 before 9/11 - she told Heather that people were no longer “fulfilled”. They were “emptier and emptier”.

And then Heather told me about a Hopi poem about the Lone Wolf.

I just read it, and it struck me that I needed to share this with you to point out how it can serve as wisdom to all of us, especially for those of you starting a new cash flow note business, a new venture explored, and striking out on your own.

Words of Wisdom, Gaining Success in the Cash Flow Note Business

Read the poem that i’m sharing with you…

“There is a river flowing now very fast. It is so great and swift that there are those who will be afraid. They will try to hold on to the shore. They will feel they are torn apart and will suffer greatly. Know the river has its destination. The elders say we must let go of the shore, push off into the middle of the river, keep our eyes open, and our heads above water. And I say, see who is in there with you and celebrate. At this time in history, we are to take nothing personally, Least of all ourselves. For the moment that we do, our spiritual growth and journey comes to a halt. The time for the lone wolf is over. Gather yourselves! Banish the word struggle from you attitude and your vocabulary. All that we do now must be done in a sacred manner and in celebration. The poem ends with the words: “We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.”

Cash Flow Note Business, How Does This Poem Relate?

This is how it applies to your note buying business.

a) The river flowing very fast is this new world of investing in nonperforming notes that you’re jumping into. You must be terrified.

b) The other people who are less adventuresome than you will “hold onto the shore” while you proceed.

c) The river has a destination, a destination that you can reach if you flow with the river. Trust it. (like the multiple exit strategies for your defaulted mortgage business)

d) Think about it from this perspective, the time for the lone wolf has reached its end. In order to succeed in your cash flow note business, reach out to those bankers, investors, title officers, and real estate agents.

e) Don’t ever think about this as a “struggle” - this is you learning how to swim in a river that moves faster than you’re used to - but once you learn how to float (in regards to the cash flow note business - you learn the lingo, you learn what a trade looks like, you study the process and you eventually close your first deal), you learn to let the river carry you along.

A Tip on Your Cash Flow Note Business

The important lesson learned? “We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.”

So listen to what I’m saying. Write this down, put it on your beside table or your desk even. This is your new motto for your new Non Performing Note Business.

You can do whatever you put your mind to. You don’t have to wait for anyone.

Imagine the conversation: Me, meet Me.

A little realization shouldn’t be underestimated.

“the most powerfully creative moments for an artist are when we get out of our way, and just let our creative energy flow.” The words that Heather spoke.

Remember, it’s YOU that you’ve been waiting for.

Now get out into that river, make use of all the other wolves out there.
