@Sadrud-Din Williams real estate investing is like any other business. It takes time, patience and persistence to be successful. 97% of people get really excited when they start a business, but when they don't see immediate results, they quit. That's why only 3% succeed. If it was easy, everyone would be doing it and would be successful at it. Most people aren't willing to work hard to get results.
This just about covers it. Add this to the mix. Most of that 97% are followers...and they would rather follow the majority...even if the majority fails. To them, all that proves is it can't be done the way the majority tried.
This make no sense to me. The answer is staring them in the face...don't follow the majority if they failed. Why not follow the minority if they succeeded? What's more important to them...success, or being part of a majority.
I wonder what the success rate is for those that just go for it...with no training, and learn as they go? I also wonder what was used to measure success in both the original question, and mine?
“The answer is staring them in the face...don't follow the majority if they failed. Why not follow the minority if they succeeded? What's more important to them...success, or being part of a majority.”
I prefer to connect with highly successful individuals in real estate, figuring out how to maximize my results, separate myself from the majority and create “future” long-term business partnerships.
