Don't become a knowledge Junkie

Don't become a knowledge Junkie

Back in January this year I started looking more and more on the internet, especiall YouTube at ways to make income from the internet and give me a reason to get back to self employment and get out of the rat race. I stupidly went back into the rat race in 2013 after running my very successful business for 12 years, purely at the time to make more money, but eventually in July this year I decided that I needed to work for myself again and have my feedom back.

Around February time I came across a guy call Samuel Leeds who is a very young, very successful property expert and so I watched alot of his free content on YouTube and then signed up to his free, 2 day crash course to learn a lot about his strategies that he uses to make money from property. The crash course was fantastic and so I decided to invest in further training and through this year I have attended more training days and become part of his accademy.

The problem that I had though was I started to become a bit of a knowledge junkie and even though I have learned a hell of a lot about building a property portfolio through various strategies, I had still not taken the necessary action to put my knowledge to good use and start producing a stream of passive income from property.

It has now only just come to a head, 9 months after starting my property journey that I need to start taking some serious action.

Today I actually went and spoke to 3 letting agents in a local town where I live, made appointments to view 7 properties and from those hopefully might have sourced my first deal that I am selling onto an investor for a fee.

The moral of my story is that in just one day, I have made such a difference and realised that it is all well and good learning lots of knowledge about a certain subject, but unless you implement that knowledge and put it to good use, it is absolutely useless.

Please, when you are learning all of these skills on WA about affiliate marketing, you take the necessary action to make good use of your new attained knowledge.
