newbie here from Ct

[Jennifer Proulx]

hi my name is Jennifer. I'm new to this aite. I attended a fortunebuilder conference and loved it, though it was great.....till yesterday. A person from there organization told me I didn't have a investor mindset because I told them I didn't feel OK with charging 5000.00 on my credit card for training. I don't know anything yet regarding the business except attending a three day event. Personally not enough to give my credit card for monthly payment for a few years. Has anyone had no money when they start? And is there help to get money? I learned about hard money lenders and cash buyers/ is this safe to do? I don't have any asset or capital. I rent and bring in about 20,000 yrly

Help.......???? not feeling hopeful

You made the right move, @Jennifer Proulx . It wouldn't have ended at the 5k - they'd have been after you for the next level, the next tier you need to belong to in order to be successful, etc etc etc. So congratulations for standing firm in the face of what I'm sure was a ton of pressure. I'd say you DO have the investor mindset - knowing when to say no is as important, if not moreso, than saying yes. You turned down a bad deal, and you turned it down with someone trying to put the squeeze on you. Good for you. That's an important skill right there and will come in handy as you advance in your investing career.
