Asking the wrong Questions

Scott Bell

So today is day three of my Investing journey. I have evaluated a few properties and have not seen my missing home yet. I have been a little shocked that about half of what I got is telling me I am wrong or that what I have already done is a waste of time. 

I realize that I will make mistakes and not everything I do will be the best choice. But I was surprised that I got any negativity at all, so I sat down and asked myself why. What I have come up with is that my thought process is wrong and the way I word questions is wrong. I have been asking in a way to have people solve my problems when my intentions are to learn what others have done in a similar situation and to let people know what I am doing. 

Going forward I will only put down what I am doing, and see what people have to say about that.

"The quality of your life is determined by the quality of the questions you ask yourself." - Tony Robbins

Nobody cares what you are doing and just because people say you are "wrong" doesn't mean anything. You hit the nail on the head with these words, "my intentions are to learn what others have done in a similar situation". 

My only advice is don't tell people what you are doing. Find people who are doing what you want to do and ask them how they did it.
