Mistakes and fear are normal no matter when you start.  

Mistakes and fear will happen no matter what.  

I just want to sit back and collect a steady check. 10-15% will allow me to sleep at night without fear of delaying my early retirement by a decade or more if things go wrong, and help me get my feet wet with my first property or two.

@ Nikki Grizzle I had the same fears.

Mistakes and fear are pretty normal.  

Understand that mistake and fear are normal.  

But I know analysis paralysis is a very big thing and it can be hard to surpass, and listening to yesterday's podcast and Kevin speaking about people being scared to jumping they can read and read all they want but unless they go threw that first deal, no reading can save you from fear than actual experience.

Fear, I believe. 

I joined BP a couple months ago but have been sitting on the sidelines allowing me fear to hold me back.

It is my understanding that mistakes and fear are pretty normal and don't let those two things stop you.
