Thank God, The Election Is Less Than A Week Away!
With the election only a few days away, I gotta tell you I can’t wait. Not that I’ve got this political agenda to promote. I am worn out listening to an endless barrage of commercials on TV and the radio. It’s amazing how one candidate will talk about the other being some sort of scoundrel and the very next commercial is that same scoundrel talking about what a sneaky weasel the opponent has been during his life. The part I find offensive is these ads happen whether it is for president or the local dog catcher. If I vote according to each others ads, I wouldn’t vote for anyone because they are all sneaky , crazed, secret agenda, tax raising, program cutting, job cutting, lobbyist loving, cheating, big spending, non God fearing low life’s. I don’t want to hear the words: Change, Hope, Maverick, or Earmarks ever again.
What happened to: this is a great country and together we can make it even greater. Please don’t pound me in the ground with how terrible things are in our country or that “rat” who is my opponent. I take offense at bad mouthing our country. Okay, it’s not Disneyland for any of us and we have to put forth effort. The cool part is; if you put forth that effort you stand a good chance of succeeding. Nowhere does it say you are guaranteed success. You are guaranteed the right to take a shot at success. If you fail, too bad, now pick yourself up and try again. The next time, you’ll be wiser for the learning involved in the failure. I understand Abraham Lincoln went broke and failed many times on his way to the White House. Walt Disney went broke 8, that’s right 8 times before getting Disneyland going. I sort of went off on a tangent. Oops.
I guess my rant is due to an overdose of negative campaigning ads. I used to listen to “talk radio” and the news stations during the day. I would get so bummed out from all the negative stuff, it was affecting my attitude. I have switched to sports radio (that’s pretty depressing here in Kansas City, the Chiefs are currently 1 and 7) or self improvement CD’s to help me keep a positive mindset.
What does any of this have to do with real estate investing? Don’t get bogged down in the negative quagmire. There are TREMENDOUS opportunities in real estate right now. Get educated so you don’t make costly mistakes. Plug into real estate investing groups and engage in the process. It’s not all in the books. It’s a good place to start, but get a mentor, a buddy system, someone to “bounce” ideas off. Check out the information in the following link and know it’s a process. Real Investment Mentorship & Coaching When you went to school, they didn’t give you a diploma the day you enrolled. You had to study, prepare and practice. There were other students doing the same thing and you had to compete against them and yourself to get that grade. Think of real estate training as a school for real life stuff. Sometimes you get an “A” sometimes you get an “F”. In real life you don’t get a certificate for participating. You either succeed or fail. There is learning in both outcomes. The point is, TAKE ACTION! If someone confronted you and told you to move or they would smack you with a stick, you would move quickly or suffer the consequences. You may not know exactly where to move too, but you would take action immediately and then assess later. Welcome to life. Move, or I’m gonna smack you with a stick. Take Action! Do something. Learn something.
