A question for all levels

[Andrew Sanders]

Hey BP community. I just started learning about REI, I'm looking to buy my first property this year (and many more after, hopefully). My goal is that illusive financial freedom, I don't want to work a "9-5" anymore (technically I work 10PM-530AM..... it's rough), and I don't want to work for someone else anymore. So, I'm taking steps to realize those goals. My newbie question, or maybe it help more than just newbies, but what is your number one piece of advice for starting/succeeding in REI?

@Andrew Sanders You came to the right place to start your learning. Congrats on taking the first step.

I don't think it can be narrowed down to one thing but, if I had to pick one, I would say commitment. You need to be committed to learning, committed to consistency, committed to being focused, committed to taking massive action, committed to not quitting, committed to leaving your comfort zone, committed to becoming the best person you can be, etc. 

Essentially, you need to be committed to do whatever it takes to get to where you want to go.

Hope this helps and best of luck!
