Probably the best short term goal a person could set would be to be able to quit a messy, dull, boring, repetitive, or stressful job; working for an intolerant boss and be able to be self-employed, working for themselves.  If you’re in the position that I’ve described, there’s an easier way to transition from being a hired hand to being the boss.  Assuming that you don’t know whether or not you could fill this role, and that you have bills to pay and  family to support, here’s a more practical way to find out if you could make it.

As real estate investors and entrepreneurs, it's important to learn to not following the crowd – where all the competitors are – and choosing to go the “road less traveled” where I could continue to work independent of the permission or approval of others.  You might find it productive to put this slogan on your own bulletin board too.

Want to know the secrets to success?  I've been pondering the enigma of why bright, energetic, ambitious people don't become financially successful despite all their efforts.
