In the 1980 film Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back Yoda first appeared.
Yoda coined two very good quotes that are very applicable to everything we do.
1) [Yoda:] "Do or do not...there is no try"
2) [Luke:] "I can’t believe it." [Yoda:] "That is why you fail.”
I have seen and heard over my years of mentoring and training people refer to their business as "I am looking to invest in {area}". Or they may say or write "I want to invest in single family residences".
Do you or do you not invest?
I invest in Houston, Texas. I invest in single family residences and commercial.
Do you or do you not invest?
Even if you are at the beginning of your investing career - Do you or do you not invest?
