"Fear of not being prepared"

This is crucial. If you are confident you know what you are going into there should be little fear. Knowledge is power.

One of the major oversights of new investors is not bothering to know all your state landlord tennat regulations. This should never happen. Do not invest until you know th eregulations that govern your new business. 

 I love this man ! Thank you so much

My biggest fear was failure. I dont want to work 50 hours a week for the next 40 years and if I failed at this, I feel that I dont have another option to be financially independent. What helped me overcome that and take the plunge, is the much more terrifying feeling of regret. If you've ever seen regret in a man's eyes after he's become too old to do what he's always wanted to do, you'll realize that fear of failure pales in comparison. I've seen that regret and that drove me to take action.

 Wow Jason, that’s a super epic lesson and a great way of explaining that experience! Thank you so much !

Parris, 

prepare yourself through RE education. Listen to podcasts, attend RE workshops and surround yourself with people who support your endeavors. Sometimes you have to be your best cheerleader and motivator. But remember..."You can't learn to ride a bike in a seminar" and "What doesn't kill you will strengthen you." 

I appreciate the advice April, that’s super wise !

so I learn as much as possible to make less things unknown, then I'm not scared.

easy

How did you overcome it ? What steps did you take and how different has life been for you since then ?
