I continue to observe how “smart aggressiveness” is what separates the good from the great in this game. You might think you’re good, but believe me, there are people doing it so much better. From watching their moves for years, I have come to understand why. The sharpest among us take their time…wait for something to get excited about…and then hammer it HARD. From Pudding Guy to dollar coins and on and on…the difference is always aggressiveness. While most are hoping for enough miles for a trip, others have a surplus that will carry them for years. A current “smaller” example is how the 100,000-mile offer is the best thing going in credit cards right now. People are finally just blogging about how they’ve gotten a second one of these cards. My point is this…
You should see these opportunities before others do. You should open your eyes and observe the patterns. When something great comes along, always look at how to scale it bigger. Find ways to be more aggressive. I shouldn’t have to tell you to look at getting more than one of these cards. You should have seen that on your own. How many relatives do you have who love you but don’t participate in this game? Don’t you see all the ways they are money in your bank? Be more alert. It’s the same way I shouldn’t have to tell you to have multiple email addresses. These things are a given. I hear from you guys all the time, and will continue to always be around when you want to discuss ideas. But step one is brainstorming and coming up with ideas. Nobody can do that for you…
