Most real estate courses and seminars agree on what a person should do before jumping into the real estate market.

Make A Commitment

I can’t emphasize this principle enough. It’s the glue that holds the model together. Without a solid commitment, all the good information in the world won’t get you property. In any worth-while endeavor there are always going to be obstacles. Commitment is the vehicle we use to overcome them. A determined person with immovable commitment is an awesome force. Sam Walton had several business set backs before Wal-Mart. It wasn’t Sam Walton who built Wal-Mart. It was Sam Walton with immovable commitment that persevered in the end and the result was Wal-Mart.

Commitment, commitment, commitment. Say it over and over to yourself until it oozes from your pours. It will drive you to your goals.

Goals

I don’t believe setting goals creates a magic, mysterious phenomenon. Rather setting goals gives focus and direction to energy. If people who fail to plan, plan to fail, then it is safe to assume that people who don’t set goals arrive at a place not of their own choosing. Setting goals is the one thing we can do to chart a course of our own choosing rather than leaving our boat to the ever changing currents of life.

Commitment is the force and goals are the maps. Most successful people will tell you to 1) write your goals down and 2) have realistic short term and long term goals as well. And be flexible. Don’t set yourself up for disappointment by not pacing your run. If you’re in for the long haul, don’t run like a sprinter. You’ll ware out before too long.
