Finding Motivation to Start

[Matthew M Spolsky]

I'm just starting out investing in property. I've read a few books on starting so I feel like I have an understanding of what I need to do. I signed up for a pro account as well to do more research. But even with all this I'm finding it difficult to get the motivation to actually do the research.

Maybe it's the COVID stay at home that's made me lose my drive, but I have found it again in other areas.

What do you do when you lose that motivation driving you to pursue your real estate goals?

On a side note I just failed the bar exam in CA for the 4th time. Missed it by 12 points. Last one missed it by 40 and the time before that I missed it by 8. I know that is weighing on me, but I'm trying to keep that and real estate separate as best I can.

@Matthew M Spolsky sorry to hear about the results of the bar exam.  To stay motivated I would try to spend time with other people that are excited about real estate.  Some of their enthusiasm may rub off on you.  Also try to surround yourself with people that are generally motivated and excited about business and about life.  These people are often successful and motivating.  Success breeds success.  Be around successful people and keep moving the ball forward, even if it is only a little.  Good luck.
