During the Edge and after the Edge people talk about their A-HA moment and I would think of one thing or another. Well I was just listening to a motivational video on YOUTUBE and it reminded me of my A-HA moment from The Edge, the one that I had already forgotten, SQUIRREL! I don't recall who said this so I hope someone can post who it was so they get the credit. It might of been John H or maybe Brandon B? When we were kids and we'd say we want to be an astronaut, or a famous singer or maybe an Olympic Gymnist, or professional baseball player, what did most parents or adults say? They said yes, you can be that! You can be an astronaut Johnny and go to the moon, yes Suzy you can be a gold medalist. But now that we got older and say we want to be a Real Estate Investor or even a Real Estate Millionaire we get laughed at, or told, no you can't do that. Kids are told that they need to go to school and get a job and grow old and then retire and enjoy life. WHAT?! At 65 I'm then supposed to enjoy life?!
Someone speaking mentioned 40/40/40, you spend $40k on college, to get a $40k a year job, to work for 40 years, is that your plan? Not mine! Over the past few years I have invested in my REI education, here with DG as well as other places like REIA and books and programs. I have spent money to be taught by the best. I am sitting here in the hotel, still in Arizona talking with Michelle and discussing this stuff and I said we have spent more money, $20k+ for different education and seminars, to become as wealthy in real estate as we want to be, we have done over 20 deals, made a couple hundred thousand dollars over the past few years doing this, yet we are not believing that we can really do it Negatively thinking I need to keep the 9 to 5, because everyone tells you that, you just need to work that JOB. Right now I am more prepared and educated in REI then I am at my regular job that pays X(I make a very (comfortable living). The changes happening in my 'REAL' job scared the mess out of me and I am in NO WAY prepared for them, but I am for this! Why would I listen to folks telling me I need to focus on the 9 TO 5 more then REI?
Back to my original point, I'll answer the question for you, YES JOHNNY or SUZY, or whoever, YES, YOU CAN BE A REAL ESTATE INVESTOR, YES YOU CAN BE A REAL ESTATE MILLIONAIRE if that's what you want to be?
THANKS DEAN and ALL the speakers for this past weekend! Love you guys and gals!
