Published: Oct. 7, 2016, 10 a.m.

Dig the well before you\u2019re thirsty. What\u2019s that supposed to mean?

\n

If you\u2019re scratching your head at the title of this episode, it\u2019s yet another concept that I took away from the recent Mastermind group I attended. (The group is called Collective Genius.)

\n

The reason this admonition resonated with me is because I was guilty of this early on in my investing business. I was guilty of starting out right\u2026 but was not finishing well.

\n

I did well in ramping up my marketing, then I got a few deals, got busy with those deals, felt comfortable with the incoming cash, got lazy \u2013 and slacked off on my marketing.

\n

All of a sudden I woke up and my well was dry. And I needed money. Get the picture?

\n

I was thirsty, but now I was forced to re-dig the wells. Not a good situation. Learn to dig the right way in today\u2019s episode.
