When I first started my business, I did not have very much money. I just had an idea and the desire to get out of the “Rat Race.” Tired of working for someone else, I remember sitting alone on my lunch breaks, staring out the window, saying to myself “One day I’ll be free.”
Ever have that feeling of knowing you were destined for more? Well, that feeling was keeping me up at night and I couldn’t take it anymore. I had recently read “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” and “Think and Grow Rich” and the desire of wanting more out of my life was finally (slightly) greater than the fear of failing on my own.
I opened up my own business. I decided to invest in real estate. I wanted to buy foreclosed, beat up properties, fix them up and make a killing flipping them. Little did I know that not having any money to invest would almost cause my new “company” to fail. I thought I could just find the deals and the money would follow! Boy, was I wrong.
