Terrified and excited!

This is my first post. I recently purchased Your Town and Profit From Real Estate and have been sort of reading both at once! I skip back and forth depending on what I don't understand and want to see if I can find more info in the other book. In the process of doing that, I have read through most of the success stories and am impressed with the techniques and all people who seem to be making money with this! I hope to be in a book one day myself!

I plan to post in this journal regularly both for the insight from those who know better than me (not hard with regards to REI!) and to keep myself on track. I tend to lose interest if I don't stay on something constantly...yes, even when I know it is something I need to do (lose weight, stop smoking, etc.). Everything seems to fall apart all at once and I fall back into bad habits. I hope this venture will help me with that financially and spiritually. I need some good in my life and am willing to work for something that will get me to a more positive place.

Well, I really don't have any questions right now. There seems to be so much info on here all ready that I think I'll spend a lot of time looking around and soaking up the knowledge all of you have to offer! I'll bug you later...promise!

I don't know how to add to this journal other than to edit the original. Any other way... let me know!

I have been reading the two books... back and forth still! I am hoping to still get a copy of "The Edge"... had a call last week wanting to know if I wanted to purchase it but I didn't have the money. I have borrowed some and hustled up the rest to get this information. I really think that it will be worth the money if I can still get it. The man I talked to said it would still be available through them this week but HE IS A SALESMAN! I'm calling first thing in the morning to see. I was sick when I saw that they were sold out on here and hope that there are truly more copies available. I just really think it would be helpful for me to watch these techniques so I can see how it all really works. I'm getting an idea but want as much information as possible. At heart, I'm a hands-on learner and know that I'm just going to have to do it in order to learn what's best for me but I'm still nervous!
