Today, I was the authority.

Today I spent a good part of my day on the phone, and having coffee with, new "real estate investors". These are people who spent tens of thousands of dollars to sit in classes and listen to experts tell them how to get rich in real estate this month.



I'm sure these experts (authorities) really do know how to buy and sell real estate with no money down, so why can't their students go out and make it happen?



Dolf De Roos tells a story on how he did a study to determine how many of his students actually became real estate investors. If I remember correctly, the number he came up with was 3%. Out of all of the thousands of students he taught over the years, only 3% ever took action on the information they learned from him.



I'm debating with myself over the answer to this question. On one hand I think it's probably fear that keeps people from acting on their dreams, and on the other, I believe it's a serious lack of self-confidence. Perhaps these two really go hand in hand. They're evil twins infecting 97% of our population, and education is the only cure.
