KREIA Members, Happy New Year, and may 2020 be your best year for real estate investing success and all you aspire to accomplish. In sitting down to write this letter to share and encourage this awesome membership for maximizing accomplishments and focusing on new year’s goals and resolutions, I consulted Google for an appropriate quote to help define this message for Chris McCarty taking action. The following is from Mark Twain: “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you did not do than by the things you did.” Financial health and most importantly, financial security, while not the answer to everything in life, is certainly very important. As a real estate investor and mentor, I often discuss how real estate investing success is usually not a get-rich-quick process. Success is not promised but is all but certain if applied with prudent practices and time. This quote uses 20 years and that is certainly ample time to build several fortunes, but depending on your age and goals, you may not have 20 years. Whatever your timeline is, the past is the past and there is no time like now to challenge yourself to specific measurable accomplishments by setting goals and detailing how you expect to succeed. No one will force you, and there are no “goals police” to verify your progress. Achieving your goals is all up to you and the struggle that lies between your ears to succeed and be all you can be. Unless you are one of the very select few, either by luck or inheritance, financial independence does not just happen. Best practices for success should be incorporated into your daily life just like anything else that is important. It takes time, commitment and a plan. KREIA can help with your success, and you can be one of the goal setters who look back at the end of their timeline and say, “I did it! I followed through, stuck to my plan and my financial security for me and my family is sealed. I am no longer dependent on my paycheck or someone else deciding my path.” There will be many opportunities for learning and networking through KREIA in 2020. The KREIA leadership is here to help, and we encourage you to show up, participate and be involved. See you at the meeting, Chris McCarty KREIA President
