Why Aren’t You Taking Action?

Thursday, August 27th, 2009

2 Comments »

Having trouble taking action?In today’s post, David “The Diamond” Oswald tells us why soooo many people hesitate when it comes to taking action and what to about it . . .

I was thinking the other day about how so many gurus and teachers consistently talk about how the key to success relies on  “taking action immediately.” So if it’s so simple, literally as simple as taking action, why don’t we?

I happen to agree that the action step is the most important part of any new process whether you’re learning to become a real estate investor or anything else under the sun.

Recently, I took a little inventory in my own life to better understand why so many people struggle in this particular area. During my lifetime, I’ve been able to consistently take action, but I’ve found that there have been certain times where I’ve been slow to act.

Here are a few reasons why I believe this happens . . .

The Simple Way to Overcome Real Estate Investing Obstacles

Wednesday, May 6th, 2009

2 Comments »

Real Estate Investing ObstaclesIn today’s post, Julie Broad of Rev N You is going to break down the simple way to overcome your real estate investing obstacles . . .

Tony Robbins has often been quoted as saying “You get what you focus on”. I think that powerful statement is the simple answer to so many challenges we face in our lives.

On a recent mountain bike ride down one of Vancouver’s north shore mountains, I experienced first hand the power of this statement. As we were cruising along I noticed a fairly large tree root sticking up from the ground on the trail ahead. I had enough room to pass on the left, but it was tight. I started to get nervous about hitting the root. I was in control of my bike and I was able to slow down, but my focus remained on the root.

***********************************************************

There is an excellent little book that dispenses loads of wisdom called “As a Man Thinketh” by James Allen. If you haven’t read it, go buy the book immediately! It’s a VERY easy and quick read and every sentence is like a seminar. I often find myself having to put the book down to internalize the enormity of what’s being said.

I read it about once a year and luckily, one of my good buddies was talking about it the other day which motivated me to pick it up and read it again.

I’d like to share a few quotes from the book and see how we can relate them to real estate investing . . .

“Men are anxious to improve their circumstances, but are unwilling to improve themselves; they therefore remain bound.”

Don’t Just Come and See . . . Go and Be!

Monday, March 30th, 2009

5 Comments »

Success or Failure as a Real Estate InvestorThere are tons of real estate investing gurus constantly marketing to “Come and See” their products and services . . . whether it’s a new course, seminar, book, webinar, or mentor program. While it’s very important to “Come and See,” invest in a good training course, go to the seminar, participate in the mentor program, it’s far more important to “Go and Be!”

When I say “Go and Be,” I’m talking about getting out in the field and taking action on what you’ve learned. In other words, go “be” an investor. Even if you have yet to close on your first deal, as soon as you take action, you’re a real estate investor. Because you’re on your way to getting that first deal done.

Too many beginning investors doubt their knowledge and abilities and feel the need to read one more book or course, go to one more seminar, and wait until they feel like they’re “ready” to make the first phone call, start marketing, or even get a business card.
