BIGGERPOCKETS COMMUNITY!! WHAT INSPIRE/MOTIVATES YOU?!?!?

[Steven Woods]

 Hey BP family good morning and happy Wednesday!! I want to inspire and motivate others and would love to know what inspires/motivates you? Songs, quotes, books?! As for myself I find inspiration from my wife and 3 children. Another source of motivation for me is a rapper named Nipsey Hussle.(some of you may know him some may not). His story is an interesting one of trials and tribulations he's gone through and if you look beyond the book cover on him there's deep lyrics and quotes that have inspired my investing journey. I encourage people to interact and share what's their why? You never know, your inspiration/motivation could be the connection that leads to your next big deal!! OPEN/SHARE/CONNECT/GROW

@Steven Woods What motivates me is freedom of time!! What I need to have that freedom of time is passive income(Real Estate) so I can spend time with the people I love or helping others achieve that same freedom.

I enjoy listing to and reading David Goggins content. Can't Hurt Me is a good read not for everyone but having a military background I love the in-your-face realization to take action and change your life. 

"I don't stop when I'm tired I stop when I'm done" - David Goggins

 That quote!!!! I want to let you know that got me through the day yesterday. I was laying turf in one of my rental properties after I read the David Goggins quote and it made me push through. I was going on probably my 5th hour, 108 degree weather (Lake Elsinore) and I thought about that quote, had a drink, and finished the job. So I owe you a thank you for your response and words of wisdom even though it's a quote you brought that to the forum and shared. 

Freedom of time is a major driving factor for me as well. The way I see it is, I'm free when I don't need to ask another person for permission to spend time with my family. (let that one marinate on the mind, probably cook up something really nice in the future!) I will check out that read as well, to me if another investor found value in a book it's worth it to me.
