Today’s Featured Deal is a VERY BIG deal Big Buck ranch, 118 acres, give or take, waterfront property not too far from where I’m staying. Here’s a bit of history. We are here in the Methow Valley celebrating the life of my wife’s grandfather, Del, who recently passed. Del was a family man, a medical doctor, and a rancher. Over the years I’ve heard larger than life stories about Del, the ranch, the cattle operation (the heard once exceeding 500 head). And of course, the hunts. Here at Sun Mountain, these two are in the great room just past the main lobby. They used to hang at Big Buck until Del donated them to the lodge here as they were

How to Win this Coming Week – The Question When you’re done reading this email, sit straight up in a chair, close your eyes and focus on your breathing for a minimum of 60 seconds as you think on the answer. The correct answer will result in a deal. Many other answers will increase your chance at other deals.  The question: What follow up action can I take this week to create momentum on a deal was I working on that somehow slipped my mind?  That silent 60 seconds is key. Don’t miss that part. If you go past 60 seconds of silence, that’s even better. THIS is the act of thinking deeply.  (BTW-this technique was gleaned from Thomas Edison.)

Most deals closed in “follow up” are low hanging fruit – This is NOT Follow Up… Many people believe they are following up by keeping close touch with those buyers & sellers who are engaged, answering the phone, and giving signals all along the way that they are interested. The truth is, this is NOT follow up, this is simply closing your easy, front end, low hanging fruit deals that anyone with moderate skill will get done. True Master Deal Makers follow up with the knowledge illustrated in Scroll VI found below: (revelation I mentioned above.) “No longer will I judge a man on one meeting; no longer will I fail to call again tomorrow on he who meets me

Sit Still & Be Quiet – A most effective Deal Making Strategy One of my daily strategies for successful deal making is to simply close my eyes in the morning, be quiet, & sit still. You probably know this as meditation. For the past 15 years, I’ve had a nearly daily habit of meditating each morning for anywhere from 3-30 mins. The time isn’t important to me anymore. 3 mins is just as good as 22 mins. (I used to set a timer for 20 mins and try to make it to the end. That actually was a bit stressful) On days where I remember the mediation I notice an increase in effectiveness, better decisions, and a more calm approach
