Hi Everyone. I'm at a point where I believe I am doing EVERYTHING I can think of to increase my income, and NOTHING is coming to fruition! Part of my issue is I haven't been paid in months & months and I'm working my a$$ off (thank God! LOL!!!)

I have mutliple deals in the works (in various areas of Real Estate)....

1. Actual Real Estate Transactions (I only have 6 in escrow right now)...but for various reasons they aren't closing or are postponed, etc...By end of the weekend I will have at least 2 more going into escrow.

2. Bulk REO deals (I have at least 5 packages working at the moment)....tape has been sent to the buyer on 2 of them, the other 3 are still in the "works"...for various reasons, postponement again...

3. Short Sale Processing....I am working on at least 30+ properties that are in various states....several should have closed at least 2 or 3 weeks ago and haven't...again, postponement for stupid various reasons...

4. My Business (Real Estate Transaction Management) - Paper Peddlers Inc. - is barely breathing right now in the market...check out my site at www.paperpeddlersinc.com I am meeting a new client for my company next week who will be giving us approx 40+ deals a month....I have people that I outsource this business to...I just oversee it right now. My ultimate goal, in time, is to figure out a way to market it and possibly franchise it as a homebased business to others. It is a great way for stay at home Mom's to make extra income, etc...

I am at a point where I am asking myself, "what am I putting out there?"....am I putting out to the Universe the wrong thing (I don't think so, overall I'm a very positive person and believe in myself)...

My area of expertise is almost all types of Real Estate, but I am constantly learning new avenues. It is my passion and it excites me to no end. I love helping people get their dream homes, and also enjoy educating new investors and/or helping savvy ones get great deals! I also LOVE getting great HUGE deals for my BULK REO investors...the better rate I can get them, the better I feel.

Am I doing something wrong? I read about many of you doing alot of the ecommerce stuff, and I really consider looking into that more...It fascinates me. My Dad was a programmer back when the computer was a freak of nature (early 70's). I don't know if I need to do something different.

Do any of you ever feel like you are destined to do great things. Not out of ego or greed, but just because you have it in you and you FEEL IT? I am wondering where I'm supposed to land and really feel blessed to be able to put my "fears" & concerns in writing with the knowledge that I will be given some wonderful guidance.

Anything you can do to assist/guide me....I would really appreciate any help.

Thank you.
