The next level

Well I've been studying with the DG family and coaching program for almost 2 months now. It has been a wild and interesting process to say the least (and I haven't even gotten to do any deals yet!). If you want a real "self-help" program, truly decide to commit to becoming a success in real estate. Your learning process will force you to deal with your "garbage" before you move forward, whether you like it or not. At least that's what happened for me.

This week I feel like I am ready to step up to the next level. I am armed with the know-how, I just need the confidence that comes along with experience. I went to another REI Club meeting the other night, and realized that there is so much cash out there, that if I find a good deal there will be no problem finding a buyer. I'm realizing that my entire "power team" could exist within the REI Club! That being said, I am ready to switch my focus from building my power team one person at a time, to finding deals and locking them up. I drove around my neighborhood yesterday and found 6 properties that are either listed, in foreclosure, or abandoned. One of the properties is next door to where I live, and I spoke with an agent about making an offer on it Monday.

The main purpose of writing this entry was to put down, in writing, that I am stepping up to the next level of real estate investing. I will use this weekend to mentally prepare, and on Monday morning, it's "go" time. My goal for this next week is to make at least 7 offers by Friday, and I am holding myself accountable by pledging to update this blog every night of the week with my progress, starting Monday, no excuses. At this point, it's my fear and old sabotage mechanisms that are holding me back. This week I realized that they aren't "holding me back", I'm hiding behind them. Not for long though...
