Stopped telling people I'm getting into real estate

[Shane W.]

When I decided about a month ago that real estate is the answer for what I've been looking for, I started to tell people about my new direction. However when I would tell anyone this I would always get the "yeah good luck with that" look on their face.

No-one seems to be all that encouraging about it and now I just don't say anything. I understand why they think this, because I used to be one of the doubters. However the people that are doubting me are the ones who live mundane, typical lives. The idea of sitting at a desk until I retire is not who I am.

It's great to find an awesome community like BP who encourages people like myself to take the leap of faith and just go for it.

I realize I'm only very new, but I already know it's something that I'm going to pursue and pursue until I'm very successful at it.
