Learn by Doing…
Posted on Mar 28, 2007 under Success and Motivation |I don’t have a lot of time right now, but I had a thought that I wanted to share with everyone. Too often we all get bogged down in everything that we need/want to do. We all have goals, but they seem so far out there and so high that we often times just don’t do anything.
Even if you don’t know what the best path forward is, I challenge you to do at least one thing everyday that is in line with your goals. Today I made a couple of phone calls to realtors and put a call in to my mortgage broker. Once they get back to me, I’ll be able to look over the details of a few properties and decide whether I want to go after them or not. It wasn’t anything big, but it’ll move me just that much closer to my ultimate goals.
If you’re interested in stocks but don’t know where to begin, try going to the library and checking out one of the hundreds of books out there on stock investing. Even if you don’t have the money right now, try and find some companies that you’d like to invest in. It doesn’t cost you anything to look. Just like you can window shop for new clothes or the new TV, you can look around for stocks or real estate or any other investment.
The whole point here is to do something, and one day you’ll wake up and find out that you know what you’re doing.

I agree, to a point; it’s good to recognize your level of expertise for what it is and tailor your financial committment accordingly.
Question: If you don’t mind my asking, where did you get the pretty-colored square ads? I’m trying out other ad programs in addition to AdSense. Thanks!

How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time
I totally agree, if you make a little progress each day you’ll eventually have made a lot of progress.
Plus working a little each day gives to time to think about what you worked on the day before and revise your plan of attack if necessary.

[…] So many people have read about the advantages and disadvantages of Roth IRAs or Traditional IRAs, but have you actually gone out and set one up. How long are you going to wait, and how much more do you think you need to learn about it. I believe in learning by doing. […]
