It is easy for me to create a goal in my mind and then never share it with anyone so that I never have to answer for it.In the recent podcast however, Ryan talked about how when he hears a someone say a specific number with regards to their goals (such as selling a certain number of books) he gets suspicious that the goal is for ego or some sort of comparison against someone else and in his opinion that is dangerous.Brandon then shared about a study that he had recently read that indicated that when people share their goals the chance of achieving that goal is actually less than if they keep that goal a secret stating that it's like their brain already won so they don't work as hard.I would like to find out from other BiggerPockets members what their experience about goal setting has been.  

Hello, I'm looking for note investors in the Colorado Springs area that I could meet with and pick their brain on the subject. 

I would love to meet for coffee or lunch and pick your brain. 

Pleasure to meet you and I may pick your brain on the aerial business or investing side at some point.

Read her book first, then come pick her brain with any follow-up questions.Here is BP's tax guide: https://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2015/05/2...Here is Oakland's rent control info: http://rapwp.oaklandnet.com/Good luck Ernie!

Seems at the time I was rushed, or simply had a brain fart.Again, dang sideways pic.That's the shower drain.

I’m completely new at all of this and I need some direction because my ADD brain can’t decide which way to go and quite frankly I’m exhausted from thinking about every avenue of possibility. 

I would like to pick the brains of the locals and those with vacation rentals to see what the current market is like right now.

@Joe, thanks and I will def be in touch when I'm in the market for another deal or to buy you a drink/coffee to pick your brain about RE investing in general. ;)

A seller or agent with half a brain isn't going to jump on the first offer that comes in just because it's first when the market is hot and there is a ton of interest in the property.
