Jenny,

I am also a new to this world so I will share with you what I am doing to get myself educated:

• 1)Go pro – No I don’t work for BP, but you get the tools you absolutely need to be successful as a pro member hands down. The ability to learn what a good deal really looks like comes down to using the PRO calculators- practice every day.

• 2)Listen to every single BP pod cast. So far I am about 110 in and it is exactly the education you need. I listen to them in order from newest to oldest regardless of the topic so I can learn about all angles of this business. It is truly amazing what you can pick up. I listen to them if I am driving anywhere and also at the Gym. Makes the 1 hour Elliptical go much faster.

• 3)Take action. Get a goal and go make it happen. Without it you are guaranteed to never make it happen.

• 4)Don’t take it too seriously – it’s a lot to lean and that is why people never really get in to it.

Good luck!

Matt
