Real Estate Investing Guide: A Snowstorm of Goals

By
Real Estate Agent with Midwest Properties

Real estate investing is one of the greatest money makers on the planet, and part of the success process is Setting goals and keeping them.  This is something that I have always been intrigued Why do people not set goals? The fact is, most people spend more time printing a map to Disney world than they do making the map that will become their lives.

Why do people need goals? Living life without having specific, and measurable goals is a lot like trying to put together a puzzle without having a picture to look at. A goal is the prize on the other side of the wall that life puts in front of you. If your pretty sure that there is nothing on the other side of that 10ft wall then why would you climb it? A goal is what gets you over life's obstacles, it gives you reasons for doing what you are doing.

What types of goals are best? If you even have goals your one step ahead, but the best types of goals are written and very specific. Having too many goals makes achieving any of them very difficult. Remember when you were a kid and played the catch a snowflake on your tongue game? The snowflakes were everywhere yet none would fall in your mouth until you focused on just one snowflake, then it was easy. Too many goals are like the light bulb that lights an entire room, specific goals are like a laser, focused light, they can cut through metal.

Great thought.  You have my mind going now.  I will have to think about my goals, where I value each one and how to get them.  Thanks for the eye opener.
