    Fear is a dangerous component, hindering us from taking the bold steps we need in other to reach our goals. Nobody can become financially successful overnight. They put in background work but we tend to see the finished part.

    • @EmiliaGeelan

      I think it's not always about fear, Sometimes realistic factors discourage people from reaching their goals in life. For instance, I've tried investing in the stock market several times but always got discouraged by fluctuations of stock value

    Stay in your lane.. I had a customer wanting a detached garage built. He was a dentist. He told me im too high and he wanted to do the job himself. I said great.. he asked me who my dentist was. I said I don't have one. I do it myself..
    This really happened..

    Ken's emphasis on strategic focus is spot on, especially in real estate investing, where it's easy to get sidetracked. A key tactic is to leverage data-driven decision-making, using market analytics and forecasting to pinpoint emerging neighborhoods before they peak, maximizing ROI while mitigating risks.

I don’t have kids and I’m not married. I basically need to start something from home. I’m just sick of all the scammy gurus out there on TH-cam. Do you have any advice or who to watch that isn’t a scammer in that area? I’m not ready to get into real estate like I want someday, because I am pretty much home bound for now, hopefully that can change in a bit, Thanks.

    You are omitting the so-called in Philosophy: "All-Encompassing Individuals" (popularly known as "Renaissance People").
    What's advice for them?
    Follow the "broad line" (yours), but it's better not to go into own business, because there you need to focus and work on one thing.
    And of course, find a wise and honest company (with a wise/honest president-owner) where you will be paid adequately. It's not that easy at all (there are a lot of cheaters and populists- of course it depends on the country; scientific research shows the truth ;).
    But of course you said: "My 33 Years of Business Mistakes". I just added from my experience/ knowledge ;)

    I lost over $80k when everything started to tank. Not because I was in an exchange that went belly up. I was just stupid to hold and because that's what everyone said. I'm still responsible. It just taught me to be a better investor now that I understand more of what could go wrong. It took me over two years of being in the market, I'm really grateful I found one source to recover my money, at least $10k profits weekly. Thanks Charlotte Miller.
