OfflineI don't remember the exact, moment, or specific at which I gave up on myself, but, it's happened. Through the stress and depression and what appears to always be, an endless stream of bills, bills, and more bills that constantly seem to flood in out of nowhere, I just can't seem to get my groove, or my mojo, back to become FREE of all of this headache. Seems like every time things start to look up for us(my family and I), someone yanks the rug from under our feet and down we go. Just have to figure out how to get things back together for myself, so that I can make a better life for my family and loved ones. Yes, I know I'm pretty much drowning in my own sorrows, right now, but it's just how I've been feeling this year, like I'm drowning in debts that I can never get out of in my current situation.

hey Bryant, I was in the same situation as you. i started looking into REI in 2009 and then after a few months gave up on it. at that time i was 19yrs old so everyone i knew told me not to do it and that it was a "scam"... i believed them and just gave up, figured they're older and know more than me..
I wished i had never given up then. I realized that what i wanted in life could not be achieved with a regular job, or even a college degree... Now im back and im learning more and more each day. Im meeting sellers and talking to investors(networking). At first i was a little nervous, but it gets easier and easier each time. YES for sure build a strong buyers list. That way you basically have CASH ready to go when you get another property under contract.
We will SUCCEED!! just keep moving forward.

Hey, let's be honest here. Who on this site have not not experienced challenges, raise your hands. Sorry, I forgot we were online. I am sure no one wants to hear my challenges. They could be a very long novel. We fail to act and consistently complain that things are not working. I know for me what needs to be done and it is being done. Do you hear me complain? We are being supplied with tools to perform every minute of the day on the DG site, what else do we need. Like Jen said in one of her blogs, we need to pick ourselves up and do what is necessary to succeed. "The ground is no place for a champion! GET UP!"
