Made it through my first real estate course!
This was several years ago. It was a creative real estate investing course. I know the information I received wasn't perfect, but the point is that I COULDN'T comprehend real estate lingo beforehand. My brain would shut down. I had to figure out how to get real estate knowledge into my brain.
I buckled down and I MADE IT HAPPEN! I created a "sacred space" as it were, with calming music, candlelight, hot tea, etc... and for 1hour/week I listened through 1CD. If I didn't understand it, I listened to it again the next day or week, over and over until I did understand it. The first couple of them were gruesome! There were 13 CDs in all. I got through every stinkin' one of them.
Now, I'm watching hours upon hours of real estate course material and fully comprehending everything being explained. There's always room to learn, and I plan to continue doing so.
