Overcoming the newbie fear of Stepping out, fear of rejection, and the fear of doing it right in real estate investing

[Ezechaelle Norris]

So, l have read the BP's beginners guide, read through many forums, and listen to many podcast. They are very helpful and l will continue to do so. There is so much to learn. It does give me that boost of encouragement to step out and then that "F" word hits me like a bag of bricks. 

FEAR of stepping out and doing it all wrong.......

FEAR of being rejected and never being able to close a deal......

just FEAR.....FEAR...FEAR....

If any of the seasoned investors on here wouldn't mind sharing how they overcome their fear when they first started, if you had any. And if you didn't, l would like to hear your advice. This would help me much and hopefully other newbies like me who are members on BP.

Thanks much...!!!!

You just have to dive in!  You can sit around and read every book in the library on real estate investing, but nothing will prepare you more than stepping out of your comfort zone and taking action.  To me it seems like you are getting into the wholesaling business, which is perfect for someone in your situation because there is really nothing to lose!  Just remember, you are in the people business, so communicating is a must.  Don't worry about being rejected, anyone in this business has been rejected more times than they have succeeded, it happens to the best of us.  Just shake it off and move on to the next one.  It's a numbers game, so just keep pushing forward and you will better and more comfortable over time.  Failure can't cope with persistence, so the only way that you will fail is if you give up.  You may be a little uncomfortable at first, but you can do it!  If you need any help along the way, just come back to the forums and there will be plenty of people who have been in your shoes to walk you through the process.  So get out there and take action!  Even if you fail, you will get another shot.
