Being Persistent in Real Estate Investing

Being persistent in real estate and note investing will make everything you do worth while. The note industry can be a tricky place to navigate and in this short article I’ll share four steps to make it easier for you. Let’s Begin.

Step One: What is your why? You need to begin with asking why you are doing this.What about this business will change or provide for your life. Is it the freedom it creates, or the resources it will provide? Getting to the root of your why is paramount. This may take a couple days or hours to truly know why you want to do something and that's ok. Your reason will keep you going no matter what happens. It will keep you afloat through all the good and dark times. I encourage you to write your why down on a piece of paper and reflect upon it when times are tough.

Step Two: Learn from a mentor. Learning from a mentor and paying for their services will be the second best investment you will make. The best investment you can make is in yourself! A mentor is someone who you can trust, guide you, and bring you where where you want to be. You will want to listen to and mirror everything they do. A mentor as been where you want to be before, keep that in mind. We learned and continue to seek help from Scott Carson, The Note Guy, in Austin, TX. He frequents local real estate investors associations so he gets around if you want to see him in action.

Step Three: Focus on one thing at a time: Gary Keller wrote an amazing book called “The One Thing.” I’d totally recommend reading it. The part that stands out, and makes so much sense, is to focus on one thing everyday that will make your business better. For myself, I focus on one video a day and write an article and market it everywhere on the internet. This has generated so much traffic that without it, my business wouldn't nearly be as successful.

When making my schedule each every Sunday, I block out one thing per day that needs to be done. This way I can completely focus on it and make the objective or duty the best it can be.

Step Four: Develop systems. Once you have a lot on your plate, you will start to feel the stress of your business. I'm not saying you won't’ have some stress in your business, but developing systems to make your business function more efficiently is the way to go. Think of where you want to be three to five years from now have how you have things systemized. What things are you doing that you can implement now. Time is very valuable and I stress to all newbies to outsource everything. You want to whatever business you're in as passive as it can be.

In business, there will always be peaks and valleys and you need to make the best out of any situation. Be selective of people who support you and keep them close.

Keep being strong
