Are Some People Just Getting Lucky
Hey! I'm fairly new to the BPP forums and i just want to pick some brains on a few things. Over the past month I've read 4 pretty influential books on getting my life and mind in order; so I can jump into this real estate thing. I'm reading Think & Grow Rich, Rich Dad, Poor Dad, Rental Property Investing and Loops Holes of Real Estate. After reading all 4 books, I'm finding my mind moving a mile a minute. I'm super motivated. I have to admit though, I'm having trouble on where to exactly focus that energy. Are people just picking something then never looking back or has anyone else been in my shoes?

Hey Daniel! For me personally, it's really just as simple as finding what you are passionate about. What tickles your fancy. If your buddies called you up and asked if you wanted to hang out, what would you turn that down to do instead. For me, it was the building and construction aspect.
