Another 'Just Do It' lesson from a noob! Fear Fighting!

As a new investor, fear is definitely something that I am working to overcome and I'm sure I'm not alone. Over the past couple of weeks I've been practicing scripts to call agents, sellers etc. I know going into a call it is not going to work out exactly as a script. And though I haven't made a ton of calls to label myself an expert, I can honestly say it hasn't once followed any script I practiced. So if you are fighting the fears or apprehensions like me...just do it.

Today I got on the phone to speak with an agent about a property and she misheard everything I said in the beginning of the conversation and thought I was another agent. She then proceeded to tell me "everything I needed to know was online" and If I want to see the property just fill out the form. So I did! She then receives the form I filled out and realized what she had just done and calls me back immediately. We both had to giggle about it and all the apprehension faded away.  Now she's bending over backward to work on my schedule to see the property tomorrow. Just do it!
