Читать книгу Real Estate Recession Riches - Top 10 Real Estate Investing Tips That Don't Suck! - Cory MDiv Boatright - Страница 7

First, you’re definitely going to need to get some education. While I love investing and have tons of courses and training material, the biggest mistake I could make would be to think that I know all there is to know about investing. I suggest you make it a point to enjoy learning, because it will pay you massive dividends.

Now, most cops listen to the radio when they are driving around on patrol. Instead of that, I turned a disadvantage into a huge advantage and put all of my courses on my iPod and spent eight hours a day listening to information that would grow my mindset. Although I don’t imagine that most of you have eight hours a day to listen to educational stuff - and I’ll be honest, there were some days when the last thing I could listen to was something about real estate - I would recommend that, whenever you’re driving around, you listen to something that will help to educate you or propel you toward your goals as opposed to music day in and day out. This is a huge key to success!

If you have limited time, you have to make it a point to make the most of the time that you do have. Even if you’re only driving to work for 10 to 20 minutes a day, you also have 10 to 20 minute to drive back, so you have 20 to 40 minutes a day to educate yourself. If you have errands that you have to run, that could grow your listening time even more.

Let’s add it up: 20 minutes x 5 days (a typical work week) = 100 minutes x 50 weeks = 5000 minutes, or over 83 hours per year! If your travel time is longer than that, you’ve just bumped it up even more! Little bits of time add up immensely! Think about moments when you are wasting your time and find a way to use them to bring you closer to where you want to be. Do you have any books in the bathroom? Why not?
