When I started out in real estate investing, I was working my 8-5 job as a machinist. I would come home exhausted and had no time to look for properties/deals so I made a commitment to wake up at 5AM and spend that time quietly reviewing all of the listings my Realtor had given me.
I then made appointments to visit these houses Saturday or Sunday depending on my work schedule.
I called these The 5 O'clock Sessions! These sessions allowed me to finally quit my job 6 years later to get into real estate full time. This nice quite time of the morning was my Ticket to freedom!
Nobody likes a quitter! My ex coworkers had a real problem with me Abandoning them!
I needed to get better friends!
