What to pay attention to, once you start...

[Jordan James]

So I'm putting together a plan. I have a solid name picked out for an LLC, I'm getting a new cell phone specifically for business calls, and I'll put that on my soon-to-come business cards. I have a big plan to pick up buyers, and a bigger plan to find sellers. And then I see this in the news...

My question is how much should a newbie pay attention to this kind of news? Should we read it, or give it the athlete treatment and stop reading the newspapers?

i think its important to understand what the market propaganda is. After all most buyers and sellers are so focused that not knowing what they see and hear wouldn't be prudent.

With that said the most important thing to be focused on is your drive. Too many treat this business like a one night stand. Those who treat it like a long term relationship seem to be successful.

Don't lose focus.
