8 Simple Steps To Riches In Real Estate
Or In Any Other Field, For That Matter
By Reggie Brooks
Before I got involved
with real estate I tried
various other potential
money­making
ventures. I created a company called
Advanced Video Productions, and
spent the first 4 weeks designing the
all important ‘logo’. I might have
thought that my income was totally
dependent on a well designed, slick
logo. I hadn’t learned anything about
time management yet.
I created another company that
sold satellite systems. This was way
back when satellite dishes were
huge. They could have been mistaken
for UFO’s. My success? I sold 1
satellite system, period. And that one
system was sold to a friend. I hadn’t
learned anything about marketing.
Another time, I got involved with
a Multi Level Marketing group and
ended up with a garage full of water
filters. Well, it really seemed like a
good idea at the time…..
Through the many successes and
failures that I’ve either experienced
over the years or witnessed others
experience, I’ve identified 8 steps
you can take that can put you on the
fast track to wealth. These are
simple, powerful steps that really
work!!
The 3 Cornerstones
Of Success
I’ve taken a lot of seminars and
classes over the years, and I’ve
learned that personal and financial
growth requires an investment. You
must be willing to invest your money
and your time. Then you must make
a commitment to discipline yourself.
What good is having a superior
knowledge of creative real estate if
you don’t discipline yourself to use
it? Many successful real estate
investors have invested many
thousands of dollars in their creative
real estate education. Their libraries
are bulging with books, tapes, CD’s,
DVD’s, and any other form of media
necessary to put money­making
techniques into their heads. They
understand the power of “The 3
Cornerstones Of Success”.
The 3 Cornerstones Of Success are
like a 3 legged stool. As long as there
are 3 legs, the stool will support your
weight. However, if you loose just 1
of those 3 legs, you’ll crash to the
floor. This is a perfect parallel to the
3 Cornerstones Of Success.
Continued Education
Discipline
Productive Action on a Daily Basis
