OfflineI'm 39, served the Army for 16 years, got out early and have been trying to figure what to do with my life for the past 5 years. I have a rather long history of dreaming of being financially comfortable as a property owner/manager where I would be a position where I could help people. Yes, that would be dreaming with no action, no confidence, and no belief. Actually no belief which created the no cofidence and then the no action.
I have been poor all my life and I am ok with that, money isn't everything. I have always wanted more out of life and I know I am smart enough to be successful at whatever I do. I should be anyway based on the saying that you learn from your mistakes. I should be an expert at a lot of things by now.
I currently live in Waco, Tx. I will be moving to Victoria, Tx soon. March(2010) is my goal month to move. I'm broke, of course, but I have a strong back and I am a hard worker. I am hungry for a better life and that hunger motivates and inspires me to go the distance.
2010 is MY year. 2011 though 2014 are mine also. I own and cherish BARM. I read it once though and am starting on a second time now. I planned it that way. The first reading was just that reading only with no action. A few things about that book: One I never imagined in my wildest dreams that I would enjoy reading a book about real estate so much. Yes, I know that is an unfair statement about the book. It is so much more than just a book about real estate. I am not really sure how Dean did it since we have never met before, but I know he wrote Barm with me in mind. He knows me really well for never having met. The book was obviously written for me, to me, and about me. Dean, if you ever read this well nevermind I'll tell you in person once I joined the inner circle. I am doing a bit more than reading it this time. I am highlighting and taking notes, doing all the things that are suggested like writing down goals etc. Studying it like my life depends on it. My new life does actually depend on it doesn't it?
When I started this 'About Me" I did not intend it to turn into a jornal. That's next.
central south Texas
I will be moving to Victoria, Tx in a few months. I would like to join a REI group or start one for that area. We may not have anyone in that general area and I may be the first. If that is the case just give me a little time I will add more. I plan on getting all kinds of help in reaching my REI goals. Victoria is about an hour east of Corpis Christi and about the same west from Houston, Tx. So how about a south central Texas group, the more the better. Pm me with any REI group info or if interested in starting a SCT(south central Texas)group.
I did see there that there may be one in Houston. If I can get in touch I hope to visit with them once I move.
