Please ask someone you love before you jump headlong into this scheme. 

 

Ask yourself some very simple questions:

 

1. Did I feel the need to hold any information back from the people I love? Did I tell them how much I plan on spending?

Your family loves you, they would never do anything to hurt you or hold you back from your dreams. Their concerns are REAL and you need to take it slow and look at things objectively. If you felt the need to hold anything back from them, that is a big red flag.

2. Do I feel excited? Happy? Hopeful? Nervous? All of the above?

You should never make important life decisions based on emotion. Scammers manipulate your emotions. They want you to feel like no one ever thought you could succeed and divide you from the people honestly trying to help.

If you ever got defensive when talking to a loved one, raised your voice, accused them of holding you back, then you are letting your emotions and hopes -maybe even a little greed- take control of you.

3. Do I feel the need to do this RIGHT NOW?

If this were legitimate, it will still be around when you have had a few months to think it over. There will always be real estate, it's not going anywhere. They want YOUR money now.

There are way cheaper and more effective options than paying $2,000-$8,000 for some classes. If you really believe real estate is the place to be, GET A DEGREE FROM A REAL ACCREDITED COLLEGE. A degree is something real! It's not a promise or a hope. An honest school will NEVER promise you that you will get get rich.

Real estate has been around forever, it is nothing new or special. It is a highly leveraged investment into an asset that traditionally DOES NOT GO UP IN VALUE. Real estate keeps up with inflation at best. It is a poor investment because it doesn't produce anything and it will never grow. Companoies grow, innovate and compete. If you "invest" in real estate you are speculating on the price of a piece of property, and you are likely doing it with MONEY YOU DO NOT HAVE.

Only buy something you would be happy to own if you couldn't sell it for 10 years. This is the best money advice I have ever been given and will make you happy in the long term.

4. Why is everyone trying to keep me from making money and being my own boss? I CAN DO IT!

Clam down. Making money is about thinking objectively, being patient and making consistent accurate decisions over a long period of time.

As Warren Buffett said, "Only when you combine sound intellect with emotional discipline do you get rational behavior.."

Thanks for reading. Please listen to the ones who love you.
