How The Heck Do You Know When to JUMP?
Is the ultimate question. How did you know when it was time to stop reading, and just do? I guess there never is a perfect time but what finally made your feet leave the ground?
Me personally feel as though I'm not ready. But I think I'm not ready because I'm telling myself I'm not ready. I've been reading Bigger Pockets for months (although I've only been a actual member for the last few), listen to the podcast frequently, been to the last few BWI meetups, and I have recently invested in a book by a fellow BP member... a book that will more than likely be finished today even though I just downloaded it yesterday.
I have my partner we have the cash to fund a flip yet we're not sure when to pull the trigger. Maybe it's because we haven't really built relationships which I think is a key part in trying to avoid some beginners mistakes. It's almost like how the hell do you do that when sometimes it feels like you're just the little fish in the big tank?
Funny I asked myself the same question when it came to quitting my day job, and I just did it. I was almost amazed to find out the world didn't end, I still was fine, and everything was okay once I cut the cord.
When did you know it was time to just do?
