In the Cape right now. Been here since April 25th. Can't believe it. Like a dream. Be back home by June then it is back to whatever it is I thought I was doing. Maybe losing a little focus here and will need some kind of a disciplined routine to get back into the swing of things. Real Estate?

An active member has taken the time to reach out to a fellow "newbie" and has initiated a welcome contact. Again, I am blown away at the friendliness that members of this site have shown me since I have become a member here. The public response and PM's can really help a person through that small bit of "push" needed to make it to the next day, without feeling completely alone in this thing, no matter how "visible" the resources are here on the site. The personal initiatives are really what make the difference and having this site set up for the members to utilize is really a great idea. I have been active at different levels here now with so many different experiences (personal life/ REI coaching / actions steps in getting involved with REI ) A real roller coaster ride.

Been off-line for a spell. So much has happened since the last time I was on the site. Rough times with family/personal stuff that kind of put a damper on what I have been trying to achieve here. I think the trick for me is going to be to really really really commit to not giving up. A 4k investment in the "Success Academy" should be a good motivator but the mind can be a very tricky thing to not take seriously. Focus and persistence. Commitment and faith, along with action. I have found however, if you need a helping hand, you definitely can find that on this site. Such kind folks out there. Empathy, encouragement, support and inspiration. Thank you!

Man! Sometimes I wish I could "fall into" one of those deals that seem to come out of nowhere ( like I read in the book). I guess however, that this is what I am setting myself up for. Doing the footwork and building up my base. Something will click at some point. Just need to keep the confidence up. Dealing with a few dissapointments right now. I'll get over it though.

Visited a "partner" who I did some REI groundwork with today. Great to see Dan! Mentor extrordinaire! So, between the "day job" and getting "active" in REI. The life I had once known.....is history.

Short check in. Doing the action-reaping the benefits (results)-getting closer to the "ultimate" goal. Working hard at setting up a good foundation, and, in my experience, as with any building work, this is the most important, usually "time consuming" part of a high quality finished product. This is just GREAT STUFF!
