The right path to success

Karlo Alamo
Posted

Hello Community!

I recently started my journey to financial freedom. I wanted to ask you guys how did you get started, and what path you took to get where you are. Did you learn from people first? did you use books? I started by finding this page, reading Brandon's Beginners Guide, and I'm currently reading The Book On Rental Property Investment (also by Brandon) and I wanted to take his advice and use this forum as a powerful tool to work on my knowledge. My idea is to start with $15,000 (that I'm currently saving), and in the meantime prepare and work on my knowledge for when I'm ready I can succeed. I expect this to take me 6-12 months (maybe 18), but I'm ready to do whatever it takes to work on my future.

I wanted advice from others and make sure I'm not being too careful. I'm willing to take risks that will provide great rewards! which is why I want to get ready for this. But I'm afraid I'm waiting too long.

Thank you everyone!
