After doing my initial reading, I had to be honest with myself. I have wanted to be a real estate investor for over 20 years, yet I am not. WHY?
By being honest with myself, I realized that I hadn't even done the first step. I hadn't even taken the time to figure out my why. How could I expect to be a real estate investor when I wouldn't even step outside of my comfort zone and do the first step.
After I did the reading, I went back to the homework section of the book. I did everything in 3 days. It was a struggle to complete it. I found myself opening games on the computer and immediately closing them again when I realized what I had done. After much perseverance on my part, I finally completed all of the exercises.
One thing that in many ways surprised me was after I began reading Dean's Book, "Totally Fulfilled". I got to the exercise on limited vs limitless beliefs. As I answered the questions that were posed, I realized that in the past couple of years I had moved away from many of the limiting beliefs and was leaning towards the limitless beliefs.
I've given myself a timeline in which to have completed each of the Blue Print Pages. Since I am ahead of schedule right now, I decided to push through another wall. I obtained the 2011 EDGE and my VCR died when I began to watch the first DVD. I put the DVD away and I never did more than look at the binder again. I have determined that I will take the next 3 days and watch those DVDs, taking notes and pumping myself up.
I WILL at least step out and do my best to follow the Blue Print provided. I will not fail again because I was afraid to even try.
I have also read the pages for Blue Print Page #2 and have begun working on that homework as well.
