confidence
I have an icredible passion for RE investing. I usually read and try to learn about it everyday. Not because I feel I should but because I love to. I have slowly been positioning myself to start a resedential rental business. Making contacts(via the internet), drafting a plan, getting my credit in line, securing funds, but I am finding I keep coming across a common road block. LACK OF CONFIDENCE!! A big part of this is due to the fact that when I get nervous around strange people I tend to stutter/stammer a little. This makes me insecure. This may sound silly to most, but it is a BIG problem for me going forward. I am really apprehensive about going to my first REIA meeting. I wish I could just go to sleep telling myself I am totally confident and then wake up that way. But I am a friad it isn't that easy. Does anyone have any suggestions besides giving up!!!!
