You have to prove to them that your willpower is stronger and longer lasting than theirs.

I told him that with his backing and my drive, knowledge and willpower we can make a good bit of money.

Hey guys im new here and i am also new to Real Estate investing. I have noticed this is a great community of investors who help one another and so i just wanted to know if i could get some help on first time Maste...

Yes, I see that REI is very much about your accuracy with money management and will-power along with the other legal and financial education-related aspects of it.

In my opinion you should lead people here and if they have the will power to learn and follow through then build partnerships with those people.

I just had a complete estate plan put together for myself and was instructed that good estate planning includes a life insurance policy, a revocable living trust, pour over will, power of attorney. 

Because if one is still drawn to “doodads”, not buying them requires willpower, which depletes over time.

Because the scale is smaller too, it's much easier to meet the right people and manage whatever political willpower it takes to move forward. 

As someone who's put down 20k on one of those guru training programs(The usefuleness is debatable since it did propel me into action), I can tell you that there's nothing that digging up some willpower, sitting down and doing some self studies through BP, and spending $100 on real estate books and attending REIA meetings and building relationships with investors/brokers/power team members in your market can't teach you.I'd discourage starting off your RE investing career by taking the easy route and trying to get the lessons handed to you when hard work and experience is really the best mentor you can have.It's been said many time, but if you are able to find a good deal, there will be more than enough people/firms willing to fund it.
