evenue-generating Real Estate Speakers, or “Gurus” and local<br />
Real Estate Inves<strong>to</strong>r’s Associations (<strong>REIA</strong>s), often have the<br />
exact same goals, although they view them from differing<br />
perspectives.<br />
Each has the ultimate goal of helping as many individual inves<strong>to</strong>rs<br />
<strong>to</strong> succeed as possible by providing high quality, usable information.<br />
This is generally accomplished by product sales, which generates<br />
needed revenue for the operating expenses and profit for each.<br />
So, since we are both after the same thing, why is it that at times<br />
working <strong>to</strong>gether and nailing down specific working agreements and<br />
procedures is no easier than wrestling a greased pig? The answer, it<br />
seems, is lack of knowledge about the different perspectives of each<br />
group.<br />
For this very reason, Larry Goins, long-time Real Estate Inves<strong>to</strong>r,<br />
National Speaker and former Metrolina <strong>REIA</strong> President, and Shaun<br />
McCloskey, Lifeonaire Founder and Real Estate Expert, with the<br />
National Association of Real Estate Inves<strong>to</strong>rs, have collaborated <strong>to</strong><br />
produce a set of “best procedures” for local <strong>REIA</strong>s and speakers<br />
working <strong>to</strong>gether. Inside these pages is a boatload of valuable<br />
information that will help each <strong>to</strong> effectively “stand in the shoes” of<br />
its counterpart and view things from that perspective. This<br />
information is sorely needed and long overdue, and it provides a<br />
welcome roadmap <strong>to</strong> smooth future working relations.<br />
