fiftyeight,


I hated this question when I first started because my answers were always YES to all, however I realise now just how important this question is when first starting out.


Besides making money, what are you trying to achieve from entering this business?


Your answer should be something along the lines of;


I want to invest my money into "quality" assets for growth over the next 5, 10 or 25 years time...


Or


I'd like to generate income and I need it to be X amount of dollars


(or a combination of both)


The reason for this cringe worthy exercise is that so many people coming into this business simply fail, become dis-heartened or take far too long because they are applying the wrong strategy in the quest to achieve their goals (if they have any).


So, can you take the time to specify your goals and what it is you're trying to achieve? (IMPORTANT; Don't worry about the "how" here. Just focus on the "why")


Then, if you can,


Explain how your system is designed to achieve this.


I think you'll get a lot of benefit from this one simple exercise :xyxthumbs
