People ask me frequently if I know of a good grant writer. I used to think that it was possible to find an excellent grant writer by going on one of the many websites, such as http://www.elance.com or http://www.guru.com and finding someone who is highly experienced in complying with the forms, formats and the rules of the various grants that are available for businesses, non-profits, and other organizations.

Below is the third and final part of my personal reflections from the Real Estate Deal Making And Syndication Symposium that we just held in Las Vegas. My comments are directed toward the other people who attended this live program, but I chose to share them on my blog for the benefit of all real estate professionals and experienced investors.

Every now and then, what happens in Vegas gets talked about and shared with others. This is one of those times.

Being a salesman at heart, I am very sensitive to the words that people say — and the body language that they say it with — so that I can figure out what people really mean. Along the way, I have found a few little phrases that people drop into their conversations that are very telling. You judge for yourself and let me know if there are any others that "tip you off" or "bug" you like these affect me.

What a great conference! I feel so proud of the program that we put together and of the audience that we assembled. These were true professionals who were able to take advantage of the material that we presented. This audience of sophisticated real estate professionals, financial professionals, attorneys and others was extremely well suited to receive the material and learn how to raise money to buy real estate in a market that's screaming out for help.

Our Las Vegas event is less than a week away! And in case you hadn't noticed yet, we have an amazing lineup of speakers for this summer's Real Estate Deal Making Symposium and Syndication Seminar. Take a look here for more details: http://dealmakingsymposium.com/speakers.htm We just ran the numbers and found out that we have just two open spots remaining for this event — and then we will be sold out. If you have any interest in attending, send an email immediately to matt@joelblock.com. Oh, and one more thing… Our Welcome Reception is from 8-10pm PT on Sunday and for the entire first hour, Joel is buying the drinks! That's right. All seminar attendees get to drink for free from 8-9pm this Sunday, as a special welcome gift from Joel to say thank you for coming out and participating in this exciting symposium. This will jumpstart the power networking that will be taking place from start to finish at the event. All attendees will be given a lot of opportunities to meet each other (as well as our speakers) throughout the program, so it will not be uncommon for people to be discussing deals together before the event comes to a close on Wednesday afternoon. See You In Vegas!

We've all gotten used to the logic put out by some of the brilliant marketing people in Corporate America that their companies are too big to fail. In fact they're so big that their failure might cause a ripple through the United States and the World economies that we might not be able to recover from. This logic has gotten these companies tens, if not hundreds, of billions of dollars. This marketing logic has cost taxpayers enormously.

As an advocate of entrepreneurial companies, I ask this as a follow up question: if you are too big to fail, are you too big to be in business? These companies that are so big have nearly monopolistic control of their industries. The companies that are too big to fail have so much control and domination that it's nearly impossible and certainly unfair for smaller entrepreneurial companies to have any chance of competing with them, if not against them.
