And in that disciplined life full of small efforts, hopefully I'll manage to prolong my years of staying ahead of the three questions for a bit.

It's a blessing as long as you're disciplined and don't use it to buy "doo dads" as Kiyosaki would say :-)).

Is it discipline?

.-- a small business owner needs to wear many different hats (sure, you can farm some of this stuff out, but you get what I'm saying) and I think you need to ENJOY doing those things, as I do.I love my job and I've learned more on this "job" than I've learned working anywhere else.I highly recommend that 'newbie" note people start this part time, which will reduce or eliminate financial pressure while you go though you startup phase.The "success rate", or speed of development is entirely dependent on your own effort and discipline...if you don't enjoy what you're doing, you won't succeed.I cringe when I get calls from people who think that all they have to do is place one ad somewhere or send out a few marketing messages in order to make a financial killing overnight.

@Richard Prater, if you have the option and discipline to make your payments on insurance and taxes on time, then I would opt to pay it yourself.

I keep my minimum of 4 books per months (business development , network marketing , financial discipline and RE) any recommendations ?

There is no negotiating on their price so you have to be disciplined enough to walk away if it doesn't meet your criteria.

Investors should at least have the discipline to put back 1/12 of their expected property tax bills each month.

This may be an option if you are disciplined in reviewing and your spend decisions are being informed by your financial statements.Please let me know if I can assist you further, I am happy to help.All the best!

Where I have the tendency to take a built for speed, big vision-casting, build the plane as we fly approach, and am highly energetic and relational, she is able to identify contingencies, execute details, and can easily be stern/disciplined with people as needed.
