A few action steps you can take immediately:1)  EDUCATION & CONNECT: Believe me, you haven't watched enough videos and books, BUT without any CONTEXT (which only comes from real-world experience) most of the information/knowledge you're consuming is LOST on you and the seeming immensity of it all is potentially weighing you down preventing you from taking any action at all.Mistakes are inevitable.

I already have a property that I'm doing time consuming work on so less work the better.
