i just started the coaching program!!!!!XD

What I did was take a compilation of other posts so that I can answer this for you. This a great question and you should be commended in taking that step. Here are the other forums that have previously been written and give the answers you may be looking for.

Here is my story:

When I began in real estate over 10 years ago I failed, in fact several times. My first deal was a fraud laden transaction, not by me but the seller. I had friends that said after my first failure when trying my next transaction "didn't you learn from the last one." For the fist several years I was told many, many times that I could not do what I trying to do.
If I had to do it over again I would have gotten a coach; someone that has done this before. The mistakes that I saw I would have avoided and gotten better result.
Coaching works because you can catapult off of other experiences, learn far above your normal learning curve and avoid unnecessary troubles.

Here is someone else on this site that just posted before you. They are with the coaching / success academy and now are doing their second deal. That is great.

just got deal #2 in motion !! signed purchase agreement on 3 bdrm sfr with tennant paying 475 per month. asking price 35000 and my offer 25000 .it has been approx 2 mnths since my offer was presented and at first she rejected it. after closing on my first deal since joing the academy she called back to say she wanted to sell NOW !! brought the agreement over to her and read all with her to sign she did not want to sign until her daughter read all .i explained ti her that i wanted 60 days to find financing or partner to assign since she did not accept my offer when i had CASH to buy 2 months ago. her daughter read over contract that i proposed that i downloaded off deans site and told her mom she wanted to talk to me.after talking to her i found out she was living in arizona and was an investor herself .she said everything looked fine and her mom was just nerv about the assignment lingo etc.she also said i was getting one heck of a deal!! also she told me i was on the right track to financial success.it is funny because her mom told me that her daughter has already made a million dollars in real estate!!!not to mention i got a pile of info from her about mortgage brokers that can help me as she was also a broker for a #$ of years!!! anyway my contract is signed on deal # 2 and i love this rei stuff !!!!! THANKS DEAN!!

I am so excited for the both of you! I got Deans books and joined coaching in April 08. One month later I had closed on my first house! I am currently working on my fifth deal to date. So stay focused, pay attention to the books and coaches and most importantly of all - TAKE ACTION! Cant wait to read your success stories in the near future! Oh - and welcome to the DG family - the best support site on the internet

I guess I am dating myself, because that is what we used to call it, oh wow, seems like ages. Robert, you are a step closer to making your dreams come true. This was a good move on your part. Here are a few tips.

Stay on this site even while you are studying
When it gets to be more than you can handle, step away and take a break.
Continue to post on this site and always ask for advise. We as fellow investors listen and watch this site always.
Never, ever, give up. Your brain may get cluttered at times, just go back and start over.

You are in the right spot at the right time Robert. Have much success always....jan
