Hey, where did the fire go? What happened? It's time for Financial Freedom Friday with Matt Terrio.

I don't understand why is it that so many aspiring real estate investors They start their journeys with this great

deal of enthusiasm. I mean they're truly excited to go out there and take the bull by

the horns and just you know go out there and crush it. To then so quickly see their

motivation fade.

What happened?

You know, motivation, it's not some erratic feeling that comes over us when we least expect it

or disappears when we most need it.

It's a feeling that begins and is sustained by a process that

we control, a process that starts with of all things curiosity. Because you are once curious

about real estate.

So you sought out the information and the more you learned, the more interested you became.

And the more excited you got and then the more you wanted to learn.

So what brings this self-perpetuating cycle of enthusiasm to a halt?

You know, at some point, and the time varies for everybody, but at some point you realize

it was work.

Listen, the opportunity of real estate is no different than any other opportunity

other than it pays the most, but it's still work.

And tragically, the probability of wealth through real estate is missed by most people because once the

honeymoon is over, it shows up knocking on your door dressed in overalls looking like work.

So how do you maintain the motivation?

Well, continue to learn.
