How to Stay Positive During a Time of Transition

[Melissa Gittens]

Within the last couple of weeks, I have had quite a few people tell me that they absolutely hate their 9-5 day jobs and want to quit to then focus on their passion or rather growing passion in real estate. I decided to compose a few tips on how you can work towards your goal of being moreinvolved in real estate Full Time and quitting your job within a year or two. Please Note I am by no means an expert and am actually working on quite a few of these on the list below:

• Write down your goals – ie: Think about you the end goal in mind, whether it be fixing and flipping full time, or becoming a real estate sales agent
• Focus on the goals you want to obtain by creating daily, weekly, monthly, yearly goals
• Figure out strategies on the ways you will be able to obtain your goals.
• If you are visual like myself, Create a vision board of where you are and where you would like to be with images
• FIND A MENTOR- I believe this is one of the most important advice I have been given in my own personal journey in real estate (find someone whom you aspire to be like)
• GO TO THE BP meetings to network and get some positive energy/vibes from local investors in the area

Please feel free to add your input especially if you have some great ideas about how people can cut that 1-2 year mark down. I love forums like these because it gives us the opportunity collectively to share ideas and experiences that have worked for us. As well as give those a boost of positive vibes to help them push to get rid of their 9-5 if that is in fact their goal.
