How to stay focused
How to stay focused and not be discouraged in wholesaling? How long did it take for some of you guys to get your first home? And how dedicated were you?

@Markia Dunn the videos help but remember your why. The why you got started in real estate in the first place. To build wealth, make a better life for your family, etc. I have two little girls and I know that what I am doing now will help create a better future for my family and allow me to spend more time with my girls. That keeps me going. Time is the one thing we don’t get back.
With that said he’s some motivational videos for you. Good luck to you.
