I also recently bought his book "Discipline Equals Freedom" and can't agree more with his thoughts.

1) Have clear Goals with access to capital 2) Perform daily Rituals that support the Goals 3) Uniform Branding 4) Marketing Plan (which I call a Massive Action Plan) 5) Conduct Daily Outreach 6) Due Diligence systems (either self-taught or through formal training) 7) Vetted Team in place (all the vendors and partners needed) 8) Workout systems (either self-taught or through formal training) 9) Living Forms Library (you need this to Note Invest at a high level) 10) Discipline to maintain the processes and treat Note Investing like a Business Please feel free to add to the list...

Account Closed  I think the fact that your purchasing has slowed down is just a sign that you are a disciplined investor. 

At the end of the day, I need to be more disciplined and go if I am able, even if I don't necessarily feel like it that day in particular.Wasn't quite as active on the BP forums the second half of the month.

Of course it's now a hundred times harder to find a deal that works, and DISCIPLINE is the name of the game.

Now, many sellers are and will be totally unreasonable, so you have to get ready for them to be stupid when it comes to needing the zone change in place by you for you to close.You are the developer, you have to be more disciplined then the sellers, it's not their risk if you close now, and the zone change fails.

You need to be disciplined to pay part of the principal too.Many people use a HELOC to make fast "cash" offers on properties, then refinance the balance from the HELOC into a mortgage on the property.

Second, our local knowledge helps us make disciplined decisions, getting strategic benefits from our investors’ private funding.We’ve grown very familiar with Denver over the last six years.

To follow this plan will require some self-discipline practiced daily, especially if this mindset doesn’t come naturally.

It comes down to having a disciplined approach to investing and maintaining that discipline no matter the market fluctuations.
