Hello all,

Please learn from my mistakes. I have wasted a lot of time due to my lack of focus and discipline, analysis paralysis, listening to a bunch of podcast and reading a lot of books. None of the knowledge I have gained is useful if I do not take CONSISTENT ACTION! 

I know 2 investors. 1 has purchased many courses, 1 of which was an airbnb course. This same friend is an avid reader and listens to podcast as well. The 2nd friend can be a bit impulsive at times, but they always do the research. Friend 1 shared the info they learned in the airbnb course with friend 2. About 10 months later, friend 2 has three, yes 3 airbnb properties! Friend 2 have never read a single real estate investing book nor listened to a podcast. 

My goal is to be the perfect combinations of these 2 investors. No matter how many books you read, or conferences you attend or how many contacts your make, you will still make some mistakes as no one is perfect. The best thing you can do is educate yourself and then apply what you have learned. Then learn from your mistakes, but KEEP GOING!
