"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Anybody know some good books on how to buy assets and which to buy? Any proper or fun learning materiaal is welcome :). I've read rich dad poor dad and rich dad's guide to investing, it was nice to read but not all that much info on how to properly learn how to start with it IMO...

Thanks!
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

I think Peter Lynch wrote 3 books. He repeats himself but the first one is very good!

Try going to government auctions for tax liens and property that has been seized. It is a good way to meet investors. Usually they are very friendly and willing to give free advice.

Library has this resource, called "Books in Print". Look in subjects division, under "investing", investments, asset protection, whatever your interests. for SURE, ask librarian for the IBD, investors' business daily newspaper, and the publisher's book (4th edition) HOW TO MAKE MONEY IN STOCKS.
