Starting while working 60 hour weeks

Any tips on getting started while working 60 hour work weeks?

I've been trying to read a few books, and start getting a plan together but I haven't been able to start networking or anything yet. I dont have much financing and need to figure out that part as well.

Would it be better to get financing first, find a deal first then try to get financing? My days are going to be busy from 6am-6pm so I need to try and make the best of limited time after work while not neglecting my family

Hey @Ryan Guffey I think we all feel your pain. You mentioned reading books to get your learn on. I recommend starting with something like 4DX, The Compound Effect, or Crush It. Those all really dig deep into what you are dealing with. There’s a lot going on in the whirlwind around you and you have to focus just a bit of attention on the little things that will get HUGE with time. 60 hrs is hard, but you may be working a happy 80-100 hrs on your real estate business someday like it’s nothing.

Save Save Save. Save on turbo until you get your first property and keep it up until you don’t need 60 hrs anymore.

1. Educate yourself

2. Work on your financial health

3. Take a jump

Hope this helps.
