Best way to get started investing

Hey, this is Steve Rozenberg with Empire Property Management. A lot of people always ask me what is the best way to get involved in investing and how do you start this.

The first thing I would say is you’ve got to come up with a plan. You’ve got to know where you’re going. Where’s the end result? For example: if you want to go to Disneyland, that’s the end result. If you want to become successful in investing, you have to put a number on that. Is it 10,000 a month? 100,000 a month? Whatever that number is, you’ve got to come up with that number.

Next thing you have to do is you have to become that person, meaning you’ve got to start educating yourself to become the person that gets $100,000 a month in revenue coming in. The person you are today is not going to be the person you are to become that successful person.

Next thing you do is you gotta hang out with the people that you want to be. If you’re hanging out with people that you are the smartest person, and you’re the most educated person, or you make the most money of your group, probably not the people you want to hang out with.

Finally, last thing I would say is you gotta go up and swing the bat. You gotta commit to taking action and just getting stuff done. Sitting around, doing nothing, hanging out with your boys and girls and doing nothing, talking, drinking, is not going to get you where you want to go. Start doing things. Swing the bat, and you’ll figure out how to get things done as the wheels are turning. Steve Rozenberg. Thank you.
