Real Estate IP’s and weight Loss pills

Read an interrsting article..

It amazes me how many people start investing in real estate, only to fail when the going gets tough. As soon as people discover they can’t get rich in a week or two, they are on to the next “guru” secret. It’s the same as weight loss–everyone talks about it, many try it, but few succeed.

There are thousands of “get rich quick” and “get slim quick” gimmicks. No wonder both the real estate investing information and weight loss product industries make BILLIONS!

Weight loss isn’t easy; ask anyone who has tried it. However, the concept is very basic: Burn more calories than you ingest and your body will react accordingly. Unless you have a medical disorder, this formula works for just about anyone.

Simple as it may be, the formula is HARD, meaning it takes a lot of discipline and hard work. So the weight loss industry has offered us thousands of ways to make it easier. Many of these solutions do work, but they only work if you put forth effort.

How does having help and information help?
you don’t need any of these solutions to make real estate investments OR weight loss work for you. You can eat fewer calories, go walking or jogging every day, and you will lose weight.

But having knowledge of the caloric content or carbohydrate content of different foods is relevant. Having the advice of a physician, dietitian, and personal trainer will help you prevent injuries and maximize your efforts.

Same principle applies to real estate investing: You can go out and make hundreds of offers to motivated sellers and find a good deal. However, having information about how to solve the sellers’ needs and construct an offer helps.

Having an attorney, real estate agent, or “guru” to assist you construct the offer and paperwork will make it easier. Having advice from other people who have already done hundreds of deals will also make it easier for you to learn from other people’s success (and failure).

However, whether it’s weight loss or real estate investing, the bottom line is not just knowing, but DOING. You can’t blame the diet if you don’t stick to it.
