I have this approach mainly from people on the message boards. If you do a search for my posts from along time ago. I thought I knew it all. I will say I gained a considerable amount of knowledge in a relatively short amount of time.
But between my enthusiasm and reality, I was doomed to hit some major holes. People on here were quite blunt with me and I thought I should disregard what they said. And I did. Well it was a ruff time there for awhile and I am still working a J.O.B. But I am well on my way to being away from there.
What I saw was people encouraging newbies (which is great) and giving out fluffed up advice. Well that is all simple and dandy. But I really like the people that tell it how it is.
THIS BUSINESS IS ROUGH. IT IS A CUT THROAT BUSINESS AND IS CHOCKED FULL OF COMPETITION.
If you want to suceed you have to be willing to sacrifice.
What are you willing to give up to become a millionaire?
Yes you can do it the slow way and take your time to make it. Yes there are exceptions to every rule, but if you want to move fast then you have to work fast.
Right out of the starting gate I got greedy and lost a deal.
I have learned other valuable lessons at a steep dollar cost to myself in this business. And nope I have never made any of those mistakes again.
I have taken my family to the brink of bankruptcy and back several times since I started into this business.
It cost me my family at one point and I had to all but quit it to get them back.
Are you willing to do that to make it?
ARe you willing to work your butt off to make it?
For the majority it doesnt happen overnight, you have to work work work work work work work at it.
ARe you willing to make that comittment?
Well I know I can make it, I know I will be financially independent.
But I had to find a balance between home and my passion.
I had to take a J.O.B. again to satisfy my montly requirements until it was fully replaced.
I am sorry if this is winded and off topic but I think the newbies need to know what they are getting themselves into.
Now back to the manual. It would be easy to show them the mechanics…but there is something that cannot be taught (and it is talked about in many posts)… Do they get it? some do and some dont.
The ones that dont will never make it.
The ones that do-well remember me when your filthy rich and want to have someone tag along with you to vegas (since your rich and buying, then i’m going)
