Let me tell you about the time I wasted 3 weeks chasing a deal that never closed.
It started with a seller who seemed motivated.
He said all the right things…
✅ “Yeah, I’m ready to sell.”
✅ “Just send the contract.”
✅ “Let me talk to my wife and I’ll get back to you.”
✅ “Just give me a few more days…”
So I waited…
…and followed up…
…and waited some more.
I was checking my email like a crazy person, thinking this deal was going to be the one.
But here’s the truth:
👉 If you have to chase a seller, they’re not motivated.
👉 If they keep stalling, they’re not ready.
👉 If you’re always the one following up… you’re not negotiating — you’re begging.
That deal?
Never signed.
Wasted time.
Zero dollars.
And while I was chasing it, I missed another lead that was ready.
🧠 Lesson:
Motivated sellers don’t need to be convinced — they need to be helped.
Now I use this mindset:
“If I have to chase you, I’m not the buyer for you.”
Focus on momentum.
Focus on motivation.
Let go of dead weight.
Trust me — the money is in the easy yes, not the never-ending maybe. 💯
