If you’re like most people this time of year, you’re getting ready for the holidays, eating something, having a few drinks, and celebrating the New Year. Then comes the hangover!

Look, I’m also going to enjoy ringing in the New Year …

However, this is the time of year when I am very serious about setting some goals for the next few months and for 2012. In fact, I love this time of year because it allows us to “reboot” and start “. new beginnings “. And the most successful apartment investors I know do the same.

Listen, if you’re not where you want to be in terms of:

– Financially
– Physical aptitude
– Health
– Spiritually
– Personally
– Etc.

You get the picture …

If you are not in a place where you want to be right now, really in any area of ​​your life (of course, here we talk a lot about money and real estate investing, which is important but not the only thing), I want to give you the 8 more words important things that will get you where you want to go … Really! Are here:

“What are you gonna do about it?”

You see, I have no respect for people who complain about whatever “problem” or “issue” they have and then do nothing about it. They just complain!

For example. I have a relative who will visit us for the weekend and they will complain and complain that they don’t have enough money to do “X” and / or they can’t do some things that they really wish they could do because they can’t afford it. They will complain and my eyes will glaze over … AGAIN!

Why?

Because they will never do anything about it. What separates you from the thousands of people who will read this today is if you actually do something about some circumstance that you are unhappy with. Or just complain about it.

Are you really ready to play or just sit on the sidelines and watch and complain?

It REALLY comes down to that.

I guarantee that the people who will be financially successful in 2012 are the people who are doing something about it. By the way, when I say do something I mean act, buying a book and reading it is a step in the right direction, but it is the true ACTION that takes you from “dissatisfied” to “do something about it”.

Take the next few days and do a personal reflection. Where are you – REALLY? Are you complaining and in the end that is all you will do OR are you the type of person who is going to do something about it?

The answer to this question is revealing and frankly tells you what to expect in your financial life and life in general.
