Find the right people to start up with and learn as much as you can in the beginning and you will see returns at the end!

Find people you can partner with in your area who may be more experienced and knowledgeable than yourself and provide them some type of service any way you can in exchange for their mentoring.

The reason you haven't closed on a deal this month, is because you are committed to closing a deal this month and not Committed to cold calling 10 MLS listings every day for the next month.The reason you can't get rid of that stubborn belly fat, is because you are committed to loosing belly fat and not committed to running 3 miles a day.Essentially, my epiphany is nothing short of this.Focus on the process and the results will come.
