A little thing called the truth.

I know, I know, you’ve heard me say this a million times before, but it just is so cool, so non stressful, to be able to succeed without deceiving people.

Today we drove down the line to look at a property that had been offered to us. It was a “reasonable” deal and we were quite happy till we did a bit of research and some of the numbers weren’t quite as good as I’d hoped. As we drove away from the property Raewyn asked me what I thought. I said: “I don’t know what to do because if the deal was a normal deal I would probably go in hard to get the price down to make the deal good enough. But as the offer came through a personal friend I don’t think I could do that. I would feel like I was taking advantage of them. Would I feel good about scoring a deal out of a friends family member? No!”

SO when I got home I contacted the vendor and TOLD HIM THE TRUTH!!
I said that I would feel like I was taking advantage of them if I bought it at the level I needed to, and they would definitely get more money elsewhere.

Within 5 minutes they came back saying they were happy to sell to me at a lower level. They specifically thanked me for my honesty and openness.

Hello?? Is anybody there??
Being a dodgy prick is not the hallmark of a successful investor.

It has been a fascinating journey for Raewyn and I as we try and figure out exactly what God wants us to do with Massive Action and our lives. As we have become more known around the country we have been able to help more and more people, many of whom happen to be Christians attracted to our stand on integrity and ethics. However we find people everywhere looking for truth, looking for a way forward that can succeed with honesty and openness. We are very honoured that so many of you find that in us and our commitment to genuine win~win remains the core of our success and what we teach.

In the last week I have met 2 lots of people who came for investing advice but actually needed healing in their marriages. It probably sounds weird but that is much more exciting for me than talking about property, if I was being totally honest. To be able to share secrets of our sucess in life and see a relationship saved….. man there ain’t enough money on the planet to compete with that.

So here’s to integrity, honesty and real success: have a great day!!
