NEWBIE On Her Way to Making Money!!

I'm a Motivated, Passionate, Hard Working....almost to a fault, Smart and Kind Hearted mother of 3 (4 if you count my husband). I'm new to the REI world, but so far I'm loving it!
I recieved my DG books last week and honestly I have gotten past the first few chapters. I've been spending a lot of time on the DG website, there is so much WONDERFUL information. I was able to hit the ground running! Learning about real estate right now has been like going back to school for me. I have an AS Degree as a Surgical Tech. I was passionate about the medical industry, but that is NOT where the money is. As rewarding as it might be, all those "emotional rewards" weren't paying my bills. Now I have been setting aside some time EVERY day, 7 days a week, to explore the website...internet...read. And EVERY day I learn a new little nugget of knowledge (you should see the walls around my desk....they are covered with yellow sticky notes).
After I felt like I had the info I needed to jump into Bird-Dogging, thats what I did.
Even with a 3 month old baby girl glued to my side, and a curious 3 year old lil man that thinks he runs the world.....AND my partialy employed husband (hours got cut in half), along with the bill collectors threating to take my car away, and the landlord kicking us out in 2 weeks because we can't afford the $1100 rent anymore.
I made my signs, and flyers, biz cards and placed a bunch of ads on craigs list.
By the end of my first day I had 4 cash buyers lined up, and 3 properties on the table!!
Dean was right....it is scary, VERY scary but you make it through. That was the best feeling coming in being so scared that I would mess up, to being on the other side of it laughing at how easy it was )
I'm still waiting to see how these deals work out...yesterday was my first day.
