New Investors - Take Action

[Devin James]

In real estate, success often depends on how well you seize opportunities.

As The Richest Man in Babylon states:

"To attract good luck to oneself, it is necessary to take advantage of opportunities."

&

"Men of action are favored by the goodness of good luck."

Opportunities in real estate don’t just fall into your lap. They are recognized and acted upon by those who are prepared.

Don't wait for luck to come to you. Be proactive, stay vigilant, and create your own good fortune by capitalizing on opportunities when they arise.

[Manny Vasquez]

I totally agree with you @Devin James.  To summarize what you said above:

Don't wait to buy real estate.....Buy Real Estate and wait!

[Tim Ryan]

Yes good points Devin.  The other way to say this is to "be entrepreneurial".  I'm still not sure if this is learned or ingrained. Trying to figure this out. So many people pass on great deals all of the time because they are scared to fail.  Here's the best lesson I can give to those trying to figure out the paralysis issue:  the true entrepreneur (who gets things done) does not care if they lose money. They are willing to do it anyway.  Of course I realize this will be a crazy, crazy statement for many on here - and that further proves my point...

One of my favorite statements buy one of the best entrepreneurs in the world today, Richard Branson, goes like this:

"If someone offers you an amazing opportunity and you're not sure you can do it, say yes - then learn how to do it later".

Love this! I have such a great opportunity currently and I’m getting cold feet, it’s so hard taking that leap and putting it all together. This gives me a good little push

From what i've heard, the biggest regret on people's death beds are "I wish I would have" rather than "I wish I hadn't"

Mistakes will happen, learn from them and continue to improve. Life's an ongoing journey - take action!!
