How to Get Out of Learning Mode

All right, this Motivational Monday might not be for everyone. This is for people who say, I really want this, but I'm not doing anything. You know, you're watching videos, you're taking notes, you're learning strategies, more and more strategies. You may be even buying courses from those lovely gurus who sell you the next get-rich-quick They're everywhere, but 20 times more of them out than when I started a decade ago with the coaching. But you're not making calls, you're not talking to sellers, you're not putting yourself out there, you're not problem solving with sellers and helping them and then exiting with our trademark 3 paydays, sometimes even 4 paydays. And then you wonder why, gosh, nothing's happening. Let me be super clear and blunt. Surprise, surprise. You don't get paid to learn. You might be busy, you might feel good, but you don't get paid to learn. You get paid to do. And this business is simple. It's not easy. I've always said that, but it's simple. Talk to sellers, solve problems, or help them accomplish something that the market's not. Then structure deals based on that. That's it. See, but most people never get there because they're in learning mode literally forever. It feels productive, feels super safe, feels busy. But guess what? It's a trap. Look, statistically, I read this recently, and you can get different stats of this if you Google it. 91% of books purchased, at least the stat I saw, don't even get read. 91%. And we know that action trumps knowledge, because the moment you start doing things, shit happens. Now, why don't I— why did I say earlier it's a trap, by the way? Well, if you're doing, now there's risk, right? Now there's possible rejection. Now there might be uncertainty. That's called normal entrepreneurship. And most people avoid that, whether it's conscious or not, they avoid it. So they stay on the sidelines, they're watching, they're waiting, they're hoping for some, something to click and some breakthrough aha moment, hoping the market changes, maybe waiting for, you fill in the blank. Like we see people waiting all the time. Newsflash, it won't. Action creates clarity, though, not the other way around. And with clarity comes potential exponential growth. And here's where most people get it wrong. They, they think they need more confidence to start. So looking for that, looking for that. You don't. You need action to build confidence, even if it's, as I say always, imperfect action. That's how this works. That's how the game works. That's how at Smart Real Estate Coach, that's how we work as a family. interacting with members just like you, doing deals together, walking out. So if you've been sitting there consuming content, I know it's normal, but if you're telling yourself, well, I'm getting ready, stop. Just stop there. You're not getting ready. You're delaying. And deep down, if that's you, you know it. You do. So here's the deal. Either you decide you're doing this in a big way, Or something that fits your goals, or you don't. But by all means, stop pretending, because the people who are winning right now, they're not smarter than you. They're not luckier than you. They are in action. And they've simply chosen different environments and different experience that cause change. Consciously or not, it's causing change. And they're making the calls and they're having conversations. They're getting uncomfortable by those. That's normal. And they're doing it inside a community that pushes them. That's the difference. That's what we've built. It's not theory. It's all about execution, accountability, real people just doing deals. So if you're ready, step in with a stop movement. If not, be honest with yourself, but don't stay stuck in the middle. Not sure where to get started? Go to smartrealestatecoach.com/getgoing for free books, strategy calls, and a whole bunch more. We're going to help you get going the wicked smart way. We've been after this for over a decade doing exactly that. I'll give you something I told one of our private classes the other day. When you're stuck in the middle, you're kind of just waddling around. That's what I call drifting. And drifting, I know personally, is very costly because from 2008 to 2012, I was drifting after the crash. And I estimate that period in time cost me $3 or $4 million in 3 paydays missed by not acting. Wow. Think about that just for a second. Now, I don't want you to do it. I don't want you to waste years like I did. Make a decision. Let's get after it. Let's get after it together. We can help you get there. We'll see you next week on the next Motivational Monday.
