Why you're stuck on the side lines

2020 was a hard time for all of us. I started the year thinking that my 2020 crystal clear vision would come together. Since I'd graduate college and start a lucrative career as an RN. I always thought after college my "life" could begin. That all came crashing down when I forgot to sign out of a computer and failed my clinical class. A timeline I crafted over 4 years derailed it's self. I started a podcast with my extra time and came to have life changing conversations. "If you want Y start doing Y, X won't get you there" what that means is if you want to be in real estate start doing the work in that field. Something else won't get you there unless you have a connection to get there. 

For me it all started with a facebook post, I offered to do demolition work on a facebook group filled with local investors in MN. For years I watched BP, listened to BP, read BP but something as small as a facebook post was what started my path in this industry. You need to do something to expand the people you know, books keep your spirit alive but people bring your life in alignment with your spirit. people like @Adam Tafel and @John Zheng have helped me change the trajectory of my life and I was able to connect with John through common readings. Books are like a heart felt conversation that you participate in and when you are able to connect with someone else through a book it provides a vast common ground.

So please if you are on the side lines and want to change that, join the MNREIA facebook group or whatever is comparable in your area and offer a service. If you know nothing, you can break things and perform demolition. If you have functional arms you can swing a hammer. Also if you have a story let me hear it, your story can draw the best out of people. People who want to be on a path similar to yours
