“It doesn't matter where you are today. What matters is where you are going.” ~ Brian Tracy

Phew… What a relief, right?
You see, the reality of the matter is this: We all have bad habits we’d like to change, and “good” habits we’d like to adopt. But more often than not, these changes and adaptations are easier said than done.
Indeed, the process of ceasing old vices and developing new, better habits doesn’t happen overnight. It takes discipline, sacrifice, commitment, and hard work (daily) to build and keep those new habits in place.
So today’s lesson is all about looking in the mirror, acknowledging bad habits, forgiving yourself for procrastinating, and proactively taking steps to develop newer, better habits.
In the next few paragraphs, we’re going to identify the positive habits that all real estate investors should strive to develop (including some helpful Action Steps for bringing those positive habits to life).
Patrick Riddle
has been investing in real estate ever since he got the bug in college at Clemson University and - to his parents dismay - dropped out of college to dive full-time into real estate at the age of 22 with a couple friends/partners from school.
The first few deals were rough for them, mainly using their own cash, credit, and hard money loans. But, soon he found out that was a rough and unsustainable way to build a real estate business.
After "on the job" learning through the school of hard knocks at first, he found the key that helped their company get deals done more quickly, with higher profit, less risk, without having to go to banks or use their own cash.
Fast forward to today, their company has closed over 130 real estate transactions and has put over $6 million in private money into their own transactions.
