Burning the ships, again

[Jorge De Jesus]

Good morning BP! I had the opportunity, when I first started wholesaling, to quit my job on the back of my first deal which netted me 8 month’s salary. That was plenty, and was able to close another deal immediately after. I was rolling, with two more hot leads within sight. But then distractions and comfort came. (I blame only myself)I had a significant other who at the time commanded loads of attention and I thought “well, I’m a baller now... I guess it couldn’t hurt to start living the life?” Boy, was I wrong! I started “dressing for the life I wanted not the one I had”. Yeesh... fast forward, I was homeless within 3 months. The funnel dried up, the hot leads turned cold... I was able to pick myself back up and have been doing deals consistently for about a year, just not at the speed I’d like to. All the proceeds have gone to all the debt I’ve accrued, the home I lost during recent storms and Maria relief... Would you burn the ships again, hindsight being 20/20?
