Jewels Marshon, Short Sale Specialist and Real Estate Broker
Colorado Real Estate Broker Jewels Marshon enrolled in our Business Mastery Business Mentoring course in April 2007 after losing focus and confidence in the topsy turvy real estate market. "I was about to be upside down and it was causing me unbelievable stress and fear," Jewels stated. After working in Real Estate since 2006, she had become unsure of the direction she wanted to take and her business and personal finances were suffering.
Jewels was facing a tough choice involving some of her property, but after attending the course and many conversations, she knew what needed to be done. She found clarity on her options and possible solutions to her problems. Jewels was able to face her fear of having her personal credit score take a dive and contacted the bank about conducting a short sale on one of her properties.
After her own personal property challenge was resolved by successfully exiting it with a short sale, Jewels realized that this was a potentially profitable niche in the real estate market which she seemed to have talent for. Like me, she used her "been there done that" experience to ease owners, investors, and buyers with their fears and stresses. The mother of confidence is belief and experience.
Jewels now works pre-foreclosure for the homeowner or investor who can no longer afford the mortgage on their property. She negotiates with banks to take a discount on what is owed verses having them take the property through foreclosure. The negotiating skills she has learned have helped her deal with some very tough asset managers. As of today Jewels has successfully completed 16 short sales with a bright and promising future ahead of her.
Since coming through our Business Mastery Business Mentoring program, Jewels has become successful in her field as a short sale specialist, even in today's turbulent real estate market. Jewels has learned numerous strategies from me that have been critically important to her and her success. Some of the things she uses on a daily basis are: 'Get in Line and Stay in Line, prioritize tomorrow by making your plan tonight and business is not rocket science but it does require skills.' There are tools, skills and formulas that make doing and maintaining a successful business a lot easier and many times more profitable.
With her focus and determination to succeed, Jewels has dug herself out of the hole and her profits have increased from zero to almost $100,000. "I have made more money in the last 5 months than I have in any given year of my working life," Jewels said. She has set a new goal for herself and her business that include the expansion into commercial properties and profits of $250,000 in the next year.
Jewels told me, "I now have a great deal more peace of mind and confidence in achieving the financial goals I have set for myself. Having been a late bloomer when it comes to financial gain, this has been truly amazing for me!" With her financial success, she is now able to financially contribute to many causes that are truly important to her.
"Business Mastery is worth 10 times the money! It's more than a business course. It's a Life/Business Skills program with heart and soul!" Jewels said.
Her story is inspiring and a reminder of what is possible in life. Like many that have entered our courses, she has taken what I taught and put it to good use and created the first of many successes for herself. I have always said that learning only happens when something changes. She said there were many ups and downs. "Did some of my problems almost eat me? 'Almost' is the operative word," Jewels said. She now has the skills and tools as well as the mindset to accomplish her dreams.
We are so proud of you, Jewels! Keep us posted on your future success!
