Here we go again

[James Burrell]

Well BP here we go again.

Today I decided enough was enough and started taking action. I got on the phone and started making calls and sending emails trying to get started building my buyers list. Around this time a year ago I made the same decision, but I fizzled out pretty quickly. I'm determined to not let that happen again. The purpose of starting this thread is to hold myself accountable and to get support from the members here at Bigger Pockets because I know how much you guys love to help.

I've done hours and hours of research and listened to just about every podcast imaginable (Sean Terry, Todd Toback, Mark Whitten, etc. and the list goes on) the only thing left is to take action and sustain it this time. Unfortunately, at the moment I have no money to put into yellow letters and other marketing strategies so I'm going to have to get this going the hard way.

I know a lot of you are already successful so I was just wondering if you had any advice for me. I have nothing but time on my hands and I'm anxious to make my first deal!!

As I have delt with this many times my advice is this. You have to keep your head in the game and stay FOCUSed. Follow One Course Until Successful. The way I stay in the game is to constantly surround myself with other investors and constantly listen to real estate and motivational podcast as well as stay on Biggerpockets and read books.

When you start doing deals consistently you won't have to worry about "fizzeling out". I will also say from experience that money will only motivate you so far.
