Step Two

I took what I consider to be step number two on Friday.  I opened an account at a Federal Credit Union that is solely for building capital to invest.  I set it up to draw out a percentage of my check, and I don't think I will ever miss it. 

I got motivated to do this for several reasons, but the final factor was reading the Richest Man in Babylon.  If you haven't read it I strongly suggest you do so.  The book is an easy read and helps you to think about your wants verses your needs.

I am continuing with step number one (getting education) and I don't think that will ever stop.  Step number two will continue to grow until suffiecient enough to put it to work.  Now I will begin step number three, finding people who are successfull in real estate and associate with them.  I think this is an excellent forum for knowledge but if I can't see you I remain a bit sceptical about your success.

I am looking into the Lifestyles Unlimited group and the RICH club in Houston.  Has anyone out there had experience with either of these groups or have suggestions?  Thanks in advance for your help.
