Only three months have passed since me and my partner Daniele Bogiatto from Italy held out first presentation on how to network with international investors in Atlanta. The presentation is part of a major event (bootcamp) organized by my friends Mark Jackson and Sam Bell 3rd on the subject of real estate investing with bank owned property and that will take place at the Sheraton Gateway Atlanta Airport starting from tomorrow (Friday) and going all the way to Sunday.

The event includes all the information you will ever need to select, acquire and wholesale an REO (Real Estate Owned – which is just another name for repossessed house). My contribution is to bring the European networking style that allows you to build solid business relationships so that you don’t have to go and look for new customers every time, but you can have investors with whom you do repeated deals.

…
It all boils down to “slowing down”. American business is sometimes so hectic that you have hardly the time to breath. But when one looks closer at it, one notices that the speed is required because you have an incredible churn of contacts and therefore you have to produce many more connections per day since you are going to waste most of them. Conversely, if you slow down and take your time to build more solid relationships, you will have to work much less, it will be an higher quality work and you will accomplish much more.
This time I will not travel alone (in the previous event me and Daniele had gotten to Atlanta from separate routes) and I will bring with me Francesco Russo, an Italian young man who came to the US almost ten years ago and that now has a family in Florida. Fracesco is a modern immigrant: he came from Naples to study in the US and then fell in love with the sun and the peacefulness of western central Florida. He never went back to Italy since then: working constraints and visa issues prevented him from seeing his family for all this time.
He plans to go back to Italy for the first time during this year and he is very motivated to come to work with me because this will give him the opportunity to be in closer connection with his family in Italy and also create a better life for him and his family in the US. This is the type of motivation that is needed to carry forward any new major project and I am happy that I have met him. We share the same culture and we will share whatever success we will manage to create with out business.
While I travel to Atlanta, my partner Daniele, in Italy, is going to Rome where he will attend to the first event that Anthony Robbins will hold in Italy after a decade. He has participated in promoting the event and now he is going to reap the benefits. He is going there with all his closer staff too. It is going to be a life turning week end for all of us.
