Stop Dreaming!

An old saying goes, "nothing comes to nobody that sleeps but a dream". Don't get me wrong, everyone needs to have a dream, but at the same time, you want that dream to manifest in reality.That means, you have to go from dreaming, to doing, therefore, stop dreaming and start doing. Now, this is what I had to drill into my head as so many people need to do. Many times people get stuck dreaming, but don't put together the necessary plans and action it takes to see that it comes to pass. Speaking for myself, I started out in real estate wide eyed and excited. I even had plans put together, but the one thing I lacked was the drive and focus to take massive action. Tomorrow used to be one of my favorite words(note that I said used to be)and its a very destructive word. I got to a point where I had to realize that there is no such thing as tomorrow because today is really all I have to make it happen. Basically my mindset now is, it's do or die, now or never. Now you may be saying "I hear you, but what does this have to do with real estate investing"? My answer to this would be it has everything to do with it. It all begins with your thought process(habits). See, what I did was I began to take about 10 minutes in the morning and at night, to sit myself down and realize what I want I want, and what I don't want and repeat positive affirmations to myself. I had to take control of my mind. I also created a burning desire and I now have that drive. Now, I am nowhere near where I want to be with real estate, but make no mistake, I'm going very far with this. In conclusion, there are many people out here with great ideas(big dreams)that can make fortunes, but will never have it because they are in neutral and they haven't gotten past dreaming. Stop Dreaming, Start Doing! My next blog post I will be touching on my experiences with Lease Options.
