Note Investing - Goal Setting

[Martin Saenz]

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)?
