OfflineDiscipline!!! and Commitment!!!
Some people are just naturally good at some things. The are gifted from birth with special skills. They find that special skill early in life because it falls in front of them. I have good news for all of you also...you are also born with the seeds of greatness inside of you, you just have to find what it is. I can promise you you won't find them sitting on the couch in front of the TV. You will find them by putting yourself out there, taking chances to fail. I can honestly say I wasn't born good at sports, school work, computer programming or guitar hero (I hate that game). God decided to bless me with the ability to get my face kicked in, knocked down, beat up, and still WANT to get back up and keep going. I literally HATE to lose. Winning is great but I HATE losing. I HATE losing!!!
What it boils down to is two things. If you put in the COMMITMENT that you are going to succeed at being a real estate investor no matter what, and I mean no matter what happens, and you march forward everyday knowing that success is just "one more day away" you will succeed. Then once you make that your commitment you put in the DISCIPLINE to carve out time in your schedule EVERY DAY to do a little bit whether it be reading, looking at properties, putting in offers, talking to other investors, listening to audio's, talking to sellers, reading some more then after about 6 months something magical happens, you just programmed your brain to be a real estate investor and deals start to fall into your lap because you can "SEE" them. You understand creative financing and how too see a good way to finance a no money down deal. It just happens. Sadly, most will give up before the magical process happens. It breaks my heart to see people that tell me "CBR, I am going to be real estate investor and I am going to get financially free" I always ask them "no matter what?" and they say "yep, and I am going to blow away the number of deals you have done!" I tell them that is possible. I make them promise me that they will never give up and we write it down on a piece of paper. Is success hard to achieve? Yeah, it's real hard. Some people tell me "CBR, I don't want to buy as many properties as you, but what does the average investor achieve" to that I say "NOTHING! The average investor doesn't make it" You guys are not average. Make a commitment and be disciplined every day to make it happen. Don't give up, no matter what. You go out and be the guy that everybody looks upto. Remember it isn't what happens to you that matters. It is how you think about what happens to you that matters.
You've got to find your obstacles and call them out! Unsheath the sword, and do battle with whatever it is that holds you back!
i cant believe i didnt read this months ago! what a motivator this was. after the call from last night, ordering the dvd's, and reading this i totally feel it in my heart that this is what i really want. wow, im on top of the world and haven even done my first deal yet!
i also cant believe i just seen this thread by u cbr.u r exactly right about things happening after u stay in the game day,night ,while u sleep,when u get up......all the time u r thinking real estate!!!! your mind becomes automatic when you see a deal its true its like a miracle.it becomes a habit after so many days!! you are the perfect example of this!!!if only you could convince more and more to take the chance,risk to put the time in to study all this free knowledge on here there would be MANY more successful investors!!!
OH YEAH YOU HAVE CONVINCED MANY ALREADY!! hopefully many more will follow your example!!!! thank you for your teachings from the[uhk]lol!! i like that!!

Thanks CBR!!!!
You know, it seems that the right post comes back up at the right time for those of us to see it when we need it. It's kinda miraculous how this site works in that sense!
This is my first time seeing this one, and I'm bookmarking it!
I'm definitely BEYOND the point of no return and I'm EXCITED to be here!! After trying EVERYTHING except real estate, I know real estate is where I am supposed to be and that makes me happier than ever...just knowing that I have found my place FINALLY in this life! My deals are "just around the corner" and I will be thrilled when it all comes to fruition.
I gotta keep the faith and stay disciplined to the action. It is just a matter of time, and I feel a constant "race to the finish line"
very much inspired by these kind of posts. Thanks CBR for taking your time out to speak the truth!
I totally relate to the "hang in there and learn" and then the magic starts happening. You gotta rock it out through the rough times, and this post came at a great moment for me. Thanks for reminding us where we are in the RE "cycle of life"
Cheers!
