Still Want More? Here are Some To Do's

- For those who want "to dos" on how to get started, I will share with you some of the things I do, in abbreviated form:
  • Stop doing what you're doing.
  • Look for new ideas.
  • Find someone who has done what you want to do. Take them to lunch.
  • Take classes and buy tapes.
  • Make lots of offers. Someone might say "yes."
  • Jog, walk or drive a certain area once a month for ten minutes. I have found some of my best real estate investments while jogging.
  • Peter Lynch's book Beating the Street for his formula for selecting stocks that grow in value.
  • Why consumers will always be poor.
  • Look in the right places.
  • I look for people who want to buy first, then I look for someone who wants to sell.
  • Learn from history. All the big companies on the stock exchange started out as small companies.
  • Action always beats inaction.

Hello,

Thank you for providing an Action list. Reading through so much information online, it's easy to get swamped.

You know you want to start, but don't exactly know where. Thanks for giving us many possible choices where we could start.

Cheers!
Ricardo
