I personally feel that it gets your mind out of thinking that you HAVE to "work for someone else" the rest of your life....kind of like most colleges are geared towards.
I've read good and not so good reviews, but I first read it a couple years ago and I've experinced much success from having "the road less traveled" mindset.
Much Success!

Welcome Susan!
You will definitely come to appreciate this forum for the "quality of knowledge" that it offers. I personally am very fond of it because they have very defined guidelines which keeps BP having a thriving atmosphere.
Enjoy! :D

I am a Real Estate Investor.
Of all of the occupations I have tried, researched, pondered, and read about over the years, there is none which compares to mine. My work is fun. I take ugly houses and make them beautiful. I help people out of difficult situations.
I am a Real Estate Investor. I am my own boss. I often work in my pajamas from the comfort of my home. I have no employees to baby sit, no perishable inventory to move, no franchise fees to pay, and no store to maintain. Still, I am in the top 5% of all income earners.
I am a Real Estate Investor. I now enjoy freedoms I’ve never had before. I am the master of my day. I choose who to work with. I choose my hours, and I decide if I will work 20 hours or 40 hours this week. I can also choose to take the day off, without obtaining anyone’s permission. I can take a month-long vacation. I can sleep in, or take a power nap after lunch if I want. I can review my notes and return my calls while lounging in my jacuzzi. I no longer have to commute during rush hour.
I have the freedom to spend lots of time with my wife and child. I do not have the stress and pressure of needing to close my next deal by the end of the week, by the end of this month, or even by the end of this year.
I live in one of the nicest neighborhoods, in one of the most beautiful states, in the best country that has ever existed on this Earth.
I am a Real Estate Investor. There are many who ‘want’ to be like me; many who are ‘studying’ to be like me; and many more who would be like me, but are just waiting for ‘this opportunity to appear’ or ‘that circumstance to change’… At the end of the day, very few actually are like me.
I have been very fortunate and blessed. I am finally living my dream. I love doing what I do, and I would not trade places with anyone, nor trade my life experiences for anyone else’s.
I am driven by the belief that life is short, and we need to ‘make a difference’ in the short time that we’re here, because after all is said and done, it’s really not about ‘us.’
I am a Real Estate Investor.
