Each week, Brad offers feedback to the members of The Investor Creator Apprenticeship Group as they share details of their deals and potential issues they are facing.
Live Open Support Calls are held each Wednesday at 1pm CT on Zoom and in The Investor Creator Community on Facebook.
The overall intention of this week's Investor Creator Support Call is to help you maintain consistency throughout January and help keep you on track with your NY's goals.
Remember that in the real estate investing business, as well as in any other area of life, you can't have a sprinter’s pace at a marathon distance. But if you can make good decisions over time and maintain your focus, incremental improvements become exponential.

Two episodes ago, we talked about problems with marketing, which is the #1 issue most businesses deal with and where most of them remain. But once marketing is solved, you quickly spiral into the second problem - how do we raise money? So today we are talking about the fulfillment problem and how to tackle it in your real estate investing business.
What We Cover:
- At which moment in business you start having the fulfillment problem
- The multifaceted nature of the fulfillment process and how minor become big problems
- The importance of creating monthly goals
- What you need to do first to address the fulfillment problem
- Why you need to be careful with delegating and outsourcing the things you dislike to do
Remember that it's always easier to buy than to sell, and pay attention to your fulfillment breakdown so that the expression "death by a thousand paper cuts" never applies to your business.

Let's get this straight first - in the house flipping business, like in any business, it's normal to go through a struggle. It's a phase you can't skip in anything that's worth doing. This week, we are talking about the first of the two main problems that every business faces - the struggle with marketing.
What We Cover:
- Deals of the Day
- Why most people struggle for years in their business
- Sweat marketing vs. Search marketing
- Why it’s the easiest thing to blame the ads and where to look for the issues instead
- How your vision plays a big part in your struggles
Once you understand that struggle is normal in business, you can go on to identify what that struggle is. And then you can start figuring out what you can do about it. Remember that anything is fixable, and stay tuned for next week's episode when we'll talk about fulfillment struggles.

What We Cover:
- 2 Deals of the Day
- How to get clarity on the timeline of your perfect day
- Why committing to the process is the key to achieving any goal
- Embracing triple A - Affirmations, Abundance, Anchors
- How to avoid sneaking yourself out of your commitment to goals

Although this one was recorded the morning after Halloween, hence mentioning costumes and candies, we wanted to draw your attention to another crucial element of deal making. After discussing contracts and due diligence, today we want to talk about renegotiation - when to do it, why and how to renegotiate a deal in an efficient, effective and ethical way.
What is Covered:
- What the subjects of renegotiation are
- Five things you should know before buying a house
- What NOT to do when you want to renegotiate
- Home inspection gives you permission to renegotiate
- Why you should never make your seller feel guilty or ashamed
- Brad and Tony simulate a renegotiation conversation
- The benefits of renegotiating terms and not only price
Remember that your best deals are going to come from term deals and not price deals. Terms are key for the profitability of your long-term deals, but price comes first, then terms. Always keep in mind that a house is a means to an end.

It's that time of the year when we remind ourselves of just how important the gratitude work is in our life and our business.
In this episode, Brad and Tony chat about the three things they are most grateful for in business.
So, make it a habit to stay in the gratitude mindset, because it means you can't be in the lack mindset at the same time.
