I\\u2019m sure you\\u2019ve heard it said \\u2014 probably more than once \\u2014 that knowledge is power. Actually, that\\u2019s only partly true. The truth is, only in the implementation of knowledge is there any power. A person can learn and learn, but if they never put into action what they\\u2019ve learned, there is no power.

I can remember the feeling of safety and security in the college environment, and how scary the big old world looked out there. It\\u2019s easy to just stay in that place and keep on studying but never applying the knowledge.

\\n

In this episode, I take this principle and apply it to real estate investing. It\\u2019s so easy to get comfortable buying one more expensive course or attending one more expensive weekend workshop. But what good will it do if no action is ever taken?

\\n

Among my coaching clients, the most successful are the ones who take a little knowledge and jump out there and do what they\\u2019ve learned.

\\n

Are you one of those action-takers? If not, this is a good time to begin.
