It's been about 4 months already and i have no one to blame but myself for not having closed a deal. I have my buyers list, have put up bandit signs, and i know that there is just so many things to do that i am avoiding. I need to make those calls to FSBOs and really put myself out there. I wish i was in a more dire situation where i had to make money to pay the bills and put food on the table, but because i still live with my mom it is taken care of. So i see myself taking things slow, too slow. I am in a comfortable place where even if i don't close a deal i will not be homeless. But i don't want to stay in this comfortable place, i want to succeed, i want to help others and contribute helping out around the house.

I am doing real estate, but I know I am not hitting the ball as hard as I can. I do a little everyday...but not enough. I know I need to get to the nitty gritty and make those calls, but i seem to always find something to do that i feel more comfortable in, like reading a real estate book. i use the excuse that i am educating myself. I don't know how to get out of this, i just know that i need to pick up speed and stop walking and start jogging, running and sprinting!

I have been in the success academy for a little over a month and am beginning to get antsy about when i will get my first deal. I have so many dreams and goals i want to fulfill but i feel like i am not making much progress. There is so much to learn in the beginning and i am afraid that i will lose my vision. I plan to keep going but how do i know when i have found an incredible deal? There are so many and hard to decipher. I have my buyers list and right now an looking for the right agent. It seems that a lot of them don't quite understand wholesaling. Right now is the time to just keep going knowing that i am taking the steps forward toward my first deal

I don't know what to do. So far I have read one of dean's books and in it it recommends the Success Academy. I called yesterday and everything was fine, but when i discussed it with my mom she said no. I then go online and hear bad things of the Success Academy/PMI. I know that i can realize my dreams through real estate, but i need further guidance and direction that i believe that i can get through PMI. Should i believe the negative things about PMI? Can others who went through the Success Academy give me advice?
