ACTION: Do It Now - Ch. 10


Listen Later

The perfect time to act—especially in real estate—is not someday, not when things feel safer, and not when the headlines calm down. The perfect time is now.

Key Concepts Covered:
  • The Power of the Present Moment
    • You can’t change the past.
    • You can’t control the future.
    • The only leverage point you have is today.
  • A Life-Changing Wake-Up Call
    • A tragic, personal story that reshaped the meaning of urgency, presence, and purpose.
    • A reminder that time is not promised—and delaying what matters most comes at a real cost.
  • The Three Degrees of Action
    • Inaction – Choosing comfort, avoidance, or procrastination (often rooted in fear).
    • Active Action – Lots of movement, preparation, and effort… but no meaningful results.
    • Productive Action – Focused, uncomfortable, results-driven behavior that actually creates change.
  • Why Active Action Can Be More Dangerous Than Inaction
    • It creates the illusion of progress.
    • When results don’t show up, people conclude: “Action doesn’t work.”
  • The “Do It Now” Philosophy
    • Inspired by W. Clement Stone, who built a billion-dollar empire one micro-win at a time.
    • Small, immediate actions compound into massive results.
  • The Real Estate Application
    • The best time to buy real estate was 20 years ago.
    • The second-best time is always today.
    • Market cycles change—principles don’t.
  • Market Myths, Fear, and Noise
    • Why advice from people with “teeny tiny pockets” should be filtered carefully.
    • Media fear vs. investor fundamentals.
    • The danger of waiting for perfect conditions.
  • Moneyball Proof Across Every Market
    • 2008 crash
    • Post-recession recovery
    • COVID uncertainty
    • Post-pandemic normalization
    • In every cycle, principled investors who acted won.
Takeaway:

If you’re waiting to feel ready, comfortable, or certain—you’ll be waiting forever. Progress begins when preparation turns into productive action.
