How Much Time Do You Need to Devote to Real Estate Investing?
One of the questions that I get asked commonly is, “How Much Time Do I Need To Devote To Real Estate Investing?”
Now this is a question that always intrigues me, because when I got started, that question never entered my mind!
When I got started, I knew that real estate had made more millionaires than any other business, and I knew that if these other people could / can be successful, then I must be able to be successful, too!
And I knew that many of these were regular, every day, ordinary people… people starting with nothing… and I definitely qualified for that, since I was starting with nothing! 😂
So I knew that there was no reason that I couldn’t be successful, too!
So because of that thought process… I was willing to devote every hour, every minute, humanly possible to succeed…period… no excuses… period.
So I want you to get that in your mind.
Forget about however limited your schedule may be.
Do you only have 10 hours to devote to real estate investing each week? Ok, then devote 10 hours per week.
Do you have 50 hours to devote to real estate investing per week because you just lost your job, or you just quit your job, or whatever? Ok then, hey, devote 50 hours per week.
Do you only have 2 hours to devote to real estate investing each week? Then devote those 2 hours and make them count!
In other words… there are no excuses!
We’re talking about building a million-dollar business that will finance your dreams for you and your family.
So the question shouldn’t be how much time do I NEED to devote to real estate investing, the question is how much time do I GET the opportunity each day to invest in this multi-million-dollar business!
THAT’s what you need to be thinking, so don’t put constraints on yourself!
Now you may have heard of one or more of these guys… LeBron James, Steph Curry, Kobe Bryant, or Michael Jordan.
These guys are/were not getting up every day thinking, “Man how much time do I HAVE to devote to shooting basketball today?”
They’re not looking at it as an obligation, or as a burden on their schedule, they’re looking at it as something that they GET to do, something that gets them out of bed in the morning, because they were dreaming about shooting ball all night long!
When the morning comes, they get up and they’re like “Man, thank God for another day I GET to go to the gym and shoot ball!”
And these guys are some of the greatest players ever because of their work ethic, not just their natural talent!
And that’s why they’re considered leaders, because they show everybody else on the team that hey this isn’t just natural talent. They’re sending a message to their teammates that…
“I’m at the gym before you get here, and I’m still gonna be here at the gym when you’re leaving!”
And the answer is “no”, it probably won’t work… but if you move away it’ll probably start working! LOL
But seriously, if there are houses where you live, then yes, the methods that I teach of buying property without cash or credit will definitely work in the area that you live!
That little joke comes from the fact that most people are always looking for an excuse to talk themselves out of their own success… Whereas successful people are always looking to be the exception to the rules of mediocrity, that others choose to live by.
Anywhere there are houses, there’s always a demand for real estate investing, because everybody’s gotta live somewhere.
And the situations that allow us to buy houses without cash or credit occur to everybody, in every area.
People are having job transfers, people are losing their jobs, people are getting promoted, people are getting demoted.
People are dying, people are being born. As the family expands, the family may need to get a bigger house, and eventually they may need to move to a different school district.
When there’s a death in the family and the deceased owned real estate, that often creates probate and estate settlement situations.
Tom Brady, same situation… he’s studying game films and practicing long after everybody else is gone, and long before everybody gets there.
So these are what the greatest athletes do, and we look at them say “Oh man, he’s so talented!” But it’s not just
talent!
Now maybe you’re not a sports buff, or a basketball fan, so let’s talk about Bill Gates, founder of Microsoft, have you heard of him? Or Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon? Or Sam Walton, founder of Walmart. What about Oprah Winfrey? These are some of the richest people to ever live on the planet.
These people worked harder than everybody else because they had a passion about what they were doing. When you have a passion about what you’re doing, you don’t say “Oh man how much time do I HAVE to (or MUST I) invest in my passion today?”
Think for a second about what’s the “funnest” thing you like to do?
For example, let’s say that you really love bowling. You don’t say to yourself, “Oh man, how much time do I NEED to spend bowling today?” Right? No! If you love bowling, you’re like “Oh man I GET to bowl today, let’s do this!”
And that’s the same attitude that you need to put in your real estate investing business!
So speaking of work ethic, like Will Smith said, he doesn’t consider himself the most talented person, but he considers himself the hardest worker. As he’s famously said, if he gets on a treadmill beside you, then either he’s going to stay on the treadmill longer than you, or he’s gonna die on the treadmill!
And when you have that mentality toward building your real estate investing business, then you just cannot fail!
Like I always say, this is not a business that’s a fad! This is a business that has been around since the Garden of Eden, and it’ll be here when Jesus comes back!
Because the earth isn’t going anywhere, and like Mark Twain said, they’re not making any more land!
So this is a business that’s not going away, it’s not a fad, it’s not dependent on technology, and technology is not gonna phase out land! No, it’s not gonna happen like that! That’s impossible!
So this is a business that’s been around since the beginning of time, and it’s gonna always be here, because everybody needs a place to live.
That’s all you need to know, in addition to the fact that other people have succeeded so you can, too!
So to reiterate…
It’s not a question of how much time do you HAVE to, NEED to, or MUST you, devote to real estate investing. The question is how much time do you GET to devote, or will you ALLOW yourself to devote to building your million-dollar business!?
And also again…
Whether you’ve got 1 hour a day, or 10 hours a day to invest in real estate, then THAT’s what you do if you want to build a million-dollar business, and/or achieve the financial freedom that you and your family deserve!
