I’m new to wholesaling and I am afraid to start.

Any recommendations on courses or books that you recommend I read? What gave you the motivation to start?

@Rogelio Casiano Sounds like you haven't figured out your "Why" .

Your "why" is what motivates you to do what you do. Everybody's why is different because we all have different goals. Questions to ask yourself to help figure out your why.

 1.ASK WHY FIVE TIMES.

For example, I want to run a 10k because it will help me get into shape.

Then, insert the reason into the first part of the sentence and repeat the process over and over again. For example:

  • -I want to get into shape because I don’t have enough energy to be productive at work.
  • -I want to be productive at work because it’s important to provide for my family.
  • -I want to provide for my family because being a great parent is rewarding.
  • -I want to be an amazing parent because I believe it’s part of leading a good life.

2.WHAT GETS YOU OUT OF BED IN THE MORNING AND WHAT KEEPS YOU UP AT NIGHT? WHAT EXCITES YOU?

-If you’re not excited about what you’re doing, it’s going to be hard to stick with it. Eventually your enthusiasm will fade, your motivation will disappear, and your willpower will run out.

3. WHO DO YOU WANT TO BE?

-It’s about becoming a person who makes a plan and sees it through.

*So if you want a book find one on how to discover your "why"

Hope this helps
