to members each month.

I volunteered but didn't think much of it at the time.

I put together some articles about real estate investing
and ways to buy/sell property and got the first edition out.

I included my contact information, so that members could contact
me if they had anything to submit for the newsletter.

And that's when my phone started ringing.

Not from people who wanted to submit articles, but from property
owners who wanted to sell houses.

I bought 3 houses that month, directly related to the newsletter
contacts.

No competition.

Sneaky, sneaky!
Hi Ron,

What a great example!

I keep getting hit over the head by the power of CONTACTS...

Especially the right kind.

Here - without planning it - you started being contacted by just the right people...

It's a bit like being in the right place, at the right time. Sometimes it happens by accident, but (by people who know what they're doing), it can be "engineered" too...

I believe it's a very powerful business principle...!

Best wishes,

Dien
