“Men of action are favored by the goodness of good luck” - The Richest Man in Babylon

Your first deal will teach you more than any book or podcast ever could.

You can never read enough books or listen to enough podcasts to be 100% ready.

At the end of the day, you will need to take that leap of faith and do you first deal.

It is scary, it is supposed to be scary. Jump in.

    Quote from @Devin James:

    True, but it's foolish to invest without a basic understanding of how to purchase and manage the investment. And I would argue purchasing is easier than managing.

    Luke 14:28-30 For which one of you, when he wants to build a tower, does not first sit down and calculate the cost to see if he has enough to complete it? Otherwise, when he has laid a foundation and is not able to finish, all who observe it begin to ridicule him, saying, ‘This man began to build and was not able to finish.’
