Think about successful people that you admire… There are probably several things you notice outwardly about how they achieved their success that you see and can notice outwardly. But there are many things that happen behind the scenes that make people successful that you don’t see. Adam has talked about planning and goal setting and those are definitely behind the scenes factors that contribute to success. But another thing I would add to that list is efficiency in your actions. You have a plan, you know what to do, but are you doing it with the least amount hassles in the quickest amount of time???

Everyone probably says, sure…..fine be efficient, but what is a practical way to accomplish that? Here is a prime example. In one of my earlier blog posts, I talked about building a trusted team of professionals around you. That is one way. But specifically and more importantly are you being as efficient as you can be with those folks on that team. I will use our company as an example because its something I see EVERY day. Ok, you chose www.wefundhouses.com to be your hard money lender. I think thats a good choice. But, have you taken the time to review all the information about how the loan process works, what steps to take to get funded fast? Have you applied for a free pre-approval to speed the process up even more? Do you know how to submit draws and what is required there, so once you are funded and working your rehab you get remimbursed in the fastest possible time? We put alot of time and effort into making our processes clear and straightforward. But if our borrowers don’t learn the processes they waste their own time and slow themselves down! We are ready to respond in the shortest amount of time possible, but often the delays are caused by people not taking the time to familarize themselves with how the process works.

You can apply that same lesson to all the people on your team. How does your contractor’s invoice process work? Does your lawyer return voice mails or emails faster? How does the my plumber/electrician/flooring contractor schedule their projects?

See what I mean? Learn the way your teams process work the fastest and……..get it done faster!

Hope you have a great one.

Best,

John
