REI In Your Car 181: Take That Leap of Faith and Just Do It

Published: May 26, 2017, 10 a.m.

I was digging around in some of my old stuff the other day and came upon a set of notes that I had made while taking a real estate investing course. (One of many, I hasten to add.) We had group coaching calls during the course just like I do for my students now.

\n

These notes showed me that the course was great; the coach was great, but I was filled with fear\u2014which manifested in excuses.

\n

Anyone relate?

\n

I do some reminiscing in this episode. I had forked over a lot of money for this course, but when I failed to close any deals by the time I completed it, I felt like a real loser. But looking at those notes, I saw that the tasks the coach assigned were simple ones. It was me. I failed to take action.

\n

I guess that\u2019s why I keep on encouraging each one of you. Just do it! No more \u201cwhat if?\u201d No more \u201cyeah, but.\u201d

\n

Take imperfect action each day. Then refuse to quit.
