However, I disagree with the statement that we are here for uplifiting conversation of support.  Often, there can be too much cheerleading and too little facts.  It is a total disservice to newbies to say "just do it", or "take action and you'll succeed".  That is equally as ridiculous as Bob's post.  The truth is that the vast majority of newbies fail.  They fail because they didn't understand business; cash flow issues, dealing with tenants, etc.  They "just do it" and that's not good enough.

Oh the irony!   Grin

[Q] Whatever the odds, you admit that you can change them by work. Jharris;

You appear to change them, you appear to be beating the system, but strange to say like water, the odds find their own level and when they settle down, or you add them up, [which ever comes first] you end up with 50-50. I'm stoic about this. I might have hit the nail on the head when I said in all we do, if we have a 50-50 chance of success these are really good odds, and the best we are ever going to get.

In the USA they have this thing about a certain ethnic group who "if they've had a good week and have earned a lot of money for them - then the next week they do not turn out for work until they've blown all their money in". So in this case [which is true to some extent] the winner drops back [lowers his efforts] to stop himself from scoring.

America is worlds leader in thinking "That if you give some sales wizard / or  property expert guru $2000 or $6000 dollars for some rather corny words of bulls***t ,  you will gain a mind improvement profit on the deal". I say No you won't, your being conned, don't do it. To some by saying this "I'm a bitter old Brit". Actually I 'm a very happy and well liked Brit- who just wants to say what he thinks, on the off-chance it might help someone and stop him conning himself and losing his cash.

Around and around we go.....

I'm hoping everyone gets dizzy and falls off the merry-go-round eventually. Tongue
