You have to do something

This post is copied from Matt Gillogly (http://www.surefirecoachingcash.com/). He was talking about coaching, but I believe it also applies to investing in real estate just as much. Unles you get started... well, you won't get anywhere.




There are a number of reasons why people have a concern about getting started. In my almost 7 years of coaching, the main issues standing in the way of someone getting started are:

1. Fear of losing money.

2. Fear of making a mistake.

3. Fear of being laughed at or ridiculed.

4. Fear of failure.

Let's take a look at the fear of losing money. It's a very substantiated fear. Especially given the uncertain economy.

In reality, the act of doing nothing will cause you to lose more money than if youdid do something.

Let me explain.

An author was writing about his experiences of hiking to the North Pole on an expedition. In the North Pole, the ice shifts and moves away from the main goal, the North Pole. It moveseach and every day. So each day, you not only have to fight the snow and the wind and the cold.

But you also have to fight the moving ice pack. As you move toward the goal of the North Pole, the ice pack is moving you AWAY from your goal.

Basically for every step you take, the ice pack moves you away from your goal by 25 to 30%. Thus, when a winter storm hammers you and the tendency is for you to hunker down in camp, you have to keep moving forward, because by sitting still you actually move further away from your goal.

You lose ground.

The same holds true for those who decide to sit and wait or do a little more research.

This fear of making a mistake or losing money or being a laughing stock are only plans by the forces of evil in this world to keep you from your destiny. And we all have a destiny.


We've all been created for greatness.


Thanks Matt.
