REI In Your Car 106: Always Keep Your Rabbit Ears on for Potential Private Investors

Published: Oct. 20, 2016, 10 a.m.

In this episode, I\u2019ve just arrived back in town from a speaking engagement in L.A. As I\u2019m driving home, I keep thinking about a random conversation I had with a lady in the airport. It proved to me once again that as investors, we always have to have those \u201crabbit ears\u201d on, because private money investors can literally pop up out of nowhere.

\n

If you\u2019re too young, I\u2019ll clarify that I\u2019m referring to the antennae that people placed on top of their TV sets \u2014 back in the day \u2014 in order to get better reception.

\n

Likewise, I encourage all of you to keep your rabbit ears antennae up at all times to get the best reception.

To be honest, I really just wanted to sit there and read a book on my Kindle, but this lady kept right on talking. So, I not only tell you about how she opened up and presented herself as a potential private money lender, but I\u2019m also sharing a number of other great conversation starters.

\n

When you\u2019re in a group of people and someone asks, \u201cWhat do you do?\u201d always be ready with an answer that will present you in a favorable light as one who can help put their money to work with good returns.
