With a recent house purchase in another state, I got a call from the appraiser of this property as he was planning a visit out there. We talked about what was still needed and how to go about the property moving forward.

A lot of people ask me though what the one key to success is. In reality, there isn’t just one. There are many little things that need to be done in order to get where you want to be.

I’ve talked many times about the principle of the mastermind. Napoleon Hill, who was one of the first people to talk about it, described it this way: when you get more than 2 people in a room with similar backgrounds, similar needs, and similar goals, then you form an additional entity (paraphrasing). This is the mastermind.

It’s a situation I’ve seen time and time again. Someone in the appraisal office is doing too much. They take all the phone calls. They do all the data entry. They send out all the emails. They update AMCs when needed. They make appointments. What don’t they do? Sleep, probably. I have a term for this kind of behavior: Everyperson Syndrome.
