Note Investing - Goal Setting

I used Bill Bartmann's 9-Step Goal Setting plan he wrote about in 'Secret's to Success.'  What is interesting is that the 9th step is 'Taking Action.'  This is where most folks drop off when looking to become note investors.  It got me thinking about all the folks that attend conferences, spend time on social media forums, read a ton of books, but sit idle when it comes to becoming an active note investor.  

I'm curious what folks on BP think about this topic?

Why even spend the time to go half way (I ask respectfully)?

Hi @Martin Saenz great seeing you at the events the past couple of weeks. I think one reason why people actually don't pull the trigger and take action is their fear of failure. What if everything they heard and learned actually doesn't work? Or if they somehow screw it up? I used to find myself in that boat before I got into real estate and notes specifically. I spent a lot o money on things that I never took action on. It as only the Buy and Hold and then subsequently Notes business that I finally put myself out there and succeeded.
