AMATEUR M ISTAKE: “ I CA N ’ T DO REAL ESTATE
BECAUSE I DON ’ T HAVE THE TIME TO CHASE
DEALS. ”

This is one of the top two issues that stop 90 percent of would - be
investors dead in their tracks. (The other issue: I don ’ t have the money .

time barrier :

The First Time Principle: You Have More
Time than You Think

Stay with me here: I ’ m not asking you to work harder or get less sleep.
You might already be stretched pretty thin. I know I was when I started
out. But in my experience, when most people say “ I don ’ t have the
time, ” what they mean is “ I choose to spend my time on other things
versus this new project and I don ’ t know whether it will pay off. ”
