What Habits Are You Forming to Reach Your RE Goals?
Right now, since I'm very new in this process, I'm primarily focusing on education. However, soon I will be incorporating applicable steps towards my real estate goals by networking and building relationships with people in the industry and trying to obtain some real life experience!
Right, now I'm:
- Asking at least five real estate-related questions a day. Usually these questions will be prompted by an article I've read, or a book, etc. I sometimes think people overlook the importance of asking questions. I remember that one of my acquaintances seemed puzzled that by the end of the semester, I had an "A" in our biology lab class and she had a "C". "But you were always asking a bunch of questions!", she said with a puzzled look on her face. "Well, if you had been paying attention, you would know that following all of those questions were answers!", I replied. I will find the answers through a quick google search, searching BP for relevant articles and posts, and making threads if I can' t find satisfactory answers ( hopefully soon I will also have a mentor).
- Listening to at least 1 RE podcast a day. Podcasts are a tremendous wealth of knowledge, and the beauty of them is that you can learn while doing mundane rasks like laundry, or cooking dinner.!
- Reading at leadst 50 pages of a book a day. Right now I have about 50 books and audio books that I have been going through ( not all at the same time of course, lol). They range from RE books to business books, marketing and sales books, personal finance books, autobiographies of my personal inspirations, personal finance books, and classics like "How to Win Friends and Influence People"
- working on my overall health. As a college student it's not always easy to eat healthy but I've started being way more intentional about eating plenty of fresh, organic produce, cutting down on my sugar intake, and abstaining from the consumption of alcohol. I truly feel that my mind works more efficiently and I'm able to absorb more knowledge when I'm taking care of myself from the inside out, so forming these habits now will continue to help me
Curious to hear what others are doing to form habits that will support their longterm success!
