You Gotta Have Some "At Bats"

This morning I decided to go to an auction near me so that I may be able to meet some cash buyers. The idea was to #1 see how an auction is run. #2 meet buyers. #3 get more info about properties in my area. I was so excited to go because I was anxious to finally get some real buyers on my list. I decided to get to the courthouse an hr early just in case I may see someone who was their early to purchase the property for sell; that way I could have a one on one with them.

The auction was an hour away from me. So this morning at 6:58 am I was in the car riding to the auction listening to Quick Cash Boot Camp videos. I arrived at the courthouse at about 7:50. When I got there I realized the auction wasn't until 9:30. So I just listened to more knowledge while I was waiting.

At 9:15 I got out of the car to stand in the freezing 46 degree weather (This was freezing to me because I'm a Florida guy in Va now). 9:30 came and there was no auction. No auctioneer. No buyers. Just me standing outside of a courthouse. Swing and a miss.

This was the first auction that I'd been too. This was the first time I've ever been in that area of Virginia. And no one showed up. My fiancé looked at it as a fail, but I didn't. I went up to bat. And this time I happened to miss. Most would stop there and never go again because it's a hit or miss game. But I personally won't stop because if I go to 100 and only find one good buyer, it's that buyer that will make all the difference in my investing career.

Get those at bats. Home runs are rare. Sometimes you hit a base hitter. Sometimes you swing and miss. Sometimes you hit a foul ball. No one has ever struck out by hitting a foul ball. And the more at bats you have. The more your chances go up in hitting a home run.
