The same old dilemma

Today I had a call from someone who has decided to purchase my manual. The reason I write about them here is that they have the same dilemma that many people whom I have helped over the years have experienced.

What is this dilemma?

Well, its quite simple really. whilst they realise that by applying themselves long-term to property they can make themselves wealthy (as long as they do the important things correctly that is), they cant work out the way to leap frog from what they are doing now - onto property full time.

My answer to this is very simple. I explain to them that unless they have masses of ready cash to support them already, or have a substantial private income, then they will have to engineer their move over a period of time. Yes, this means probably overloading themselves a little for a while (for me it was 18 months until I could sell my business that was holding me back)

When I do explain that there is no secret answer, then, unless they want to be totally reckless and endanger everything they have by walking away form a steady, albeit frustrating day job, then they must start now...and be patient.

If they don't like the sound of that, then I ask them what the alternative is. the alternative is usually to carry on doing what they are doing anyway - which is something they hate - we've already established that by this stage!

So, why not at least carry on doing it - but with something concrete and real running next to it? something that will offer them eventual financial security some time down the line - and also the knowledge that they don't have all of their eggs in one basket by having to turn up to work every day to keep the boss happy and the bills paid.

When I say 'the boss', the boss could be, and quite often is - themselves. I get many, and today's new student was no exception, people who work for themselves - who simply hate their lot.

'Working for yourself', by definition, means you are a worker.....and a boss too...how's that...2 jobs for just one wage!

Not many employees would do that! I tried it once but soon worked out that it was a bad deal for me.

Hopefully, this may ring true with you as you read this?

Property is certainly not going to be a sure-fire easy ride to fortune. I can vouch for lots of problems and hassles along the way - but I figured that you get problems and hassle even in the most menial underpaid job anyway!

So why not start as early as possible on your get-rich-moderately quickly plan?

If you follow a proven course diligently..and have patience....you will be able to start to take control of your own future probably sooner than you think.

The first thing that people I have coached tend to report back to me is based around confidence. Once they are 'up and running', speaking to potential sellers and maybe even having found their first deal or two - they get that elusive commodity called confidence.

What is clear to see is that, even though they haven't made their fortune yet - far from it, they have the confidence to see that the system works over time. If you speak to someone who has 100 investment properties - they will tell you that there was a time that they had only one!

They (my students) are now in a position to visualise themselves doing well some way down the line. All this is a massive step forward for someone who has been sitting on their hands up to now and telling themselves why they shouldn't get involved!

Until next time.....
