Building an investment portfolio takes 3 to 5 years of slow growth. The biggest mistakes are quitting early and chasing quick schemes. A mentor's real value is teaching you what not to do.
When it comes to building a property, building an investment portfolio, it can feel like watching grass grow to begin with. Who's had this experience? It can feel like watching grass grow for 3 to 5 years, and it can be a long time, and you can second-guess yourself, and it can feel frustrating, and you can go, I'm not doing enough, and you can go and ask all these questions. And what a lot of people do is that they then go do something stupid. They either do something stupid by stopping because they're going, it's not working, Just because they haven't given it enough time. Or they go look for get-rich-quick, which is also stupid. When you're learning from mentors, it's not about understanding what to do. It's always about understanding what not to do.
