Joe: This next question is from David Caps. David says,
David: "There are many topics that I'd like you to discuss though I believe it to be of
utmost importance for beginners to have a more laid out plan of action. In other words,
anyone can read a book or manual but having someone show them what to do in a certain
order, what order to perform..." Joe: He's looking for a system to make this
happen. Joe: First of all, let's talk about having
somebody to show you how to do it. If you're a diesel mechanic, and you want to learn to
be a diesel mechanic, and by the way, I know nothing about mechanics -- I can barely change
the spark plugs in my old 1972 Volkswagen that I used to have. I don't do any of my
own work anymore. But anyway, if I would not know what a spark plug was, if somebody who
was standing over me pointed it out to me, it'd be a whole lot different than me reading
it in a manual. Joe: It's the same if you're doing diesel
mechanics and you're trying to look under the hood, trying to figure out, 'What the
heck are all of these things?' If you've got an experienced professional mechanic standing
next to you telling you, 'This is the wrench you need. This is the screw or bolt,' or whatever
are in engines, whatever it is that you have to turn, telling you exactly how to turn it,
i.e. 'Turn it two turns then over here you've got to drain this thing and then you've got
to plug this thing in over here.' If he shows you exactly what to do, it's going to be a
lot easier than if you've read it in a manual and you saw the pictures and that type of
thing. It's going to be much better if you can have someone who's going to take you through
that process. Joe: I have a mentor program. I expect you
guys know about this. The "Six Month Mentor Program". It's at ZeroDownInvesting.com. Spell
it out -- z e r o down investing.com, and it tells about the mentor program.
Joe: But it doesn't have to be me. You can get mentored by another really experienced
investor. Just make sure that they're making money. There's so many investors out there
who talk about how, 'Oh, I've got 30 houses,' but they're going bankrupt or their cash flow
is horrible or they don't have a system in place and they're working 90 hours a week.
Joe: Make sure you're working with someone who knows how to do this stuff and who knows
how to implement a system and get the process going. That's going to make a big difference
to you. Good luck with it.
