Investing in Your Education

To Learn or Not to Learn that is the Question first?


I asked here this question to know what his back ground was. I wanted to know if he was someone who is just winging it or if he is taking this business seriously. I am talking about what effort someone spends while looking to expand their wallet.

I know here that you can make money with hard work. But I am talking about working smart! Smart being the more you learn from other peoples experience rather than from your own trial and error the better it is. And amazingly enough, it is cheaper as well. Some people are good at learning from others via books, lessons, courses programs, or personally watching people make it big or analyzing the trail of mistakes they made.

This has most benefited me into my adulthood. I am able to pick up things quickly and do exactly like I was taught so I can get the same results. So now, when I pick up a home study course or go to a bootcamp I can maximize my return on the education by implementing much of what the experts teach. Education is the key to success. Learn how to do your business very well and implement it fast. Rather than going through a dark tunnel blindly follow the tracks on the ground and reach your target.

Spend money on your education and be choosy where you spend your money. I have spent around $50,000 on education in all aspects of real estate investing, running my business, working with people, obtaining financing and learning how to improve my marketing. This is more money than I spent on my college degree. But I will tell you that my return on the money spent on this education has far outweighed the money I spent in college.

With my Real Estate education here also I have been able to put more money in my pocket as a real estate investor in the last 30 months, than I did working at my high tech job the previous 7 years. I enjoy my life so much more and I know that my potential is unlimited.

Take the time and spend the money you need to education yourself. If I had it to do all over again I could spend less than half of the $50,000 because I now know what works in my market. Even education takes a little trial and error. This is one of the main reasons that we formed REI Success. (We bring the right education to our fellow real estate investors so they will be able to benefit from us going before them and they can learn from our mistakes.)
