Keep the xbox, sell the girlfriend.

Had a long post but...

I recommend John T. Reed to the OP. Has some of the best entry level and beyond stuff ever written on small real estate investing(under 1mil).

Update:

Going out to see a movie by myself tonight. Just relaxing. Been focusing heavily on building my business, been fortunate enough to work at a job that allows me to do my homework and work on my business. Put about 50% of every paycheck towards my investments.

I no longer deal with wasting time on Facebook and Xbox. I rarely ever use the computer any more.

No longer that interested in porn, unless Jade Laroche is in it.

Not that many cute girls where I live, the one I'm with I may consider getting into a relationship with until I leave. But her sex drive is null because of birth control, and getting sex once per week isn't cutting it. Some proactive sarging may be in order. Salsa socials are goo environments for this kind of thing.

May start dating multiple women if I feel the need to. It doesn't cost any money, at least the way I do it.

Currently going cold turkey on sodas and energy drinks. Should be a VERY easy habit to overcome. I've been loning to play some grand theft auto every once in a while when I need to do something brainless to wind down, but I've realized that just GOING OUT is much better.

My business was launched this weekend, I have already had a few dozen people contact me, I'm following up with leads after work.

Juggling a full time job, part time school, and a part time business is a CHALLENGE. But that's how great people are made. I'm getting used to it. I'm looking forward to my first check very soon. The first real estate deal is ALWAYS the hardest. Props to STR8UP's guide to becoming wealthy; I started taking ACTION and read what he reccommended, and got into business. It's all about taking ACTION.

What am I going to do with my first check? Reinvest it to the business and a few stocks. That's not my money; it's my businesses money. I'll pull it out for a new car when mine EXPLODES.

Awesome dude, it's good to hear that I can instigate someone else improving themselves.

There is nothing wrong with video games, it's just that I would feel like I'm wasting time and money on them. I don't mind playing with friends to wind down every blue moon, but for the most part I would rather enjoy my life. I spent enough time as a kid playing video games, it's time to move on.

I'm working 12 hour shifts all weekend, so I don't have much time to do much this weekend. I'll be going to a hot yoga class after I get off work, primarily to relax and maybe meet a cute new girl.

I'm meeting with a prospect this upcoming monday, hopefully I can get the deal and be on the way to my first check!

Thats good, and i just want to add there is nothing wrong with video games, masturbation, going out to parties or just sitting at home and relaxing. Just remember to do everything in moderation. I have a rich uncle who is dieing, he is 62 years old. He worked all his life and he still won't retire, he sits at a desk. Hell he just bought a travel trailer about 8 months ago and he doesn't even know what the inside looks like. Don't be that guy.

Let me just clarify:

I'm working 12 hours shifts this weekend, and I have a part-time business, as well as school part-time.

Oh, and I had a Coke yesterday, and I'm glad to say that it irritated the hell out of my throat and killed my desire to drink it :)

Ugh, I've regressed. Kind of.

I no longer play video games at all, but I'm still looking at porn and drinking energy drinks.

I've been going out ALOT, almost every night. My finances are scrambled because of it, and so is my health.

My ego has taken quite a few hits. It is much more resilient now, I don't take things as personally, but I've been really down for the past few days.

But looking back at this thread makes me realize that I'm making progress. Overcoming video games in itself is an enormous accomplishment, one that many guys today wouldn't even dream of.

I'm starting to get past the learning curve of my business, and eating healthy is now starting to become a habit for me, as well as keeping my car and room clean.

I need to take a break from going out so much, get my finances straight, and exercise more.

So maybe I'll only go out this Saturday, and relax for the next few days, just going to coffee shops and reading, hanging out with a female friend, that sort of thing.

There is nothing wrong with playing a computer game every now and then. As long as it is now and then. I sometimes get home after a long day of work, and play a little game of left4dead2 between dinner and going to my social happening of that night.

Gets the tension out of me, helps me let go the a day worth of work and charges me up. But as long as you do keep doing the other things in life you enjoy, and not just solely play halo, there isn't a problem.

With you however it seems like you do have a problem. Lock your xbox away for now, make a schedule on social activities you want to go to and schedule time for bootcamping!
Just saying. Any game where you have to kill zombies, isn't a game. Its preparation for the future.

The drive for porn has dwindled. I'm on my laptop that has pretty much every site blocked, except for yahoo finance, gmail, sosuave, and a handful of other sites that are mostly business related.

I'm still drinking energy drinks, but not nearly as many as before. I drank sodas for a week, but I don't really like the taste. Same with energy drinks.

Approaching is starting to become more natural for me, but I'm still getting many "no's" and flakes.

I've developed a little routine when girls ask me what I do: I tell them that I'm a high end male escort. That in itself is a super entertaining conversation, and I'm considering getting a set of novelty business cards printed after I do a little research of local laws.

Video games are a distant memory. Well, modern ones. I've been playing my N64 alot lately, but I get bored of it quickly. I think I burned myself out of it when I was a kid. I've been playing F-Zero X, a game that I can tell definitely influenced my career desires. We're talking about a game where you can peel off the track from excessive speed (at certain points) and plummet to your premature death at speeds of over 1500 km/h. And kill other racers by smashing against them. Sweet.

It's 10pm, and I'm about to don my pink dress shirt from Express with my slim black tie to head to a local gay club, the closest place that lets underage kids like me in, and the easiest night spot to talk to girls in. It's like being a wolf in sheeps clothing.

I had a pretty sad weekend. Caffeine withdrawal SUCKS. I haven't had any kind of soda or energy drink in nine days, and my body is finally starting to balance out. I felt all emotional, sad, and angry. It was what I would imagine mild PMS would be like. I feel much better, and I'm saving money that I would have wasted on energy drinks/soda.

My last vice to conquer is porn and jerking off. Day one today. This is the most challenging one, but I've come a LONG way since the day I made this thread.

Got a solid number from an HB8.

Got in, was kind of disoriented by the industrial/gothic music, went out to smoke. Didn't talk to anyone. Went to watch people dance. Started to leave, but I stopped myself and reminded myself that I can't keep driving 30 minutes both ways to a club and pay cover just to leave twenty minutes later.

Went back out to smoking area. Talked to promoter.

Saw attractive girl. Used 3-second rule. Eye contact my during my whole approach; the girl watched me walk to her. Introduced myself. Started talking about how great white sharks calm down when they listen to AC/DC, and surfing. Her guy friend rolled up, I befriended him. Guy friend's sister/HB8's friend tells me I'm cute. Talk to HB8 alone for about an hour. Get number. Talk some more. She says I can stay over next time I'm in her town. Talk about creativity and sh*t, I show off my own creative side and sh*t. She gets ready to go find her friend so she can leave, I decide to leave as well.

Just a number close. I know by now to not get my hopes up too much, but it's very nice to get my momentum back. She seems interested, but alcohol may have played a part. We'll see. She's like 22.

I need to stop picking up older girls; being under 21 sucks :)

Very easy for you to say when you live in L.A.

Out here, there are seven cities that have their own hot spots, but they are all spread out, and the only two that are guaranteed to have attractive girls are 30-45 minutes away. Everywhere else closes early. Plus my car is bad on gas, so I need to plan my trips during peak opportunity times.

Ugh, had a red bull and pepsi yesterday. Today I feel like sh*t, my face feels oily, and I found a pimple on my face. My face has really cleared up since I stopped drinking sodas too. I can say that I won't be drinking that stuff anymore; it's not worth it. Check the energy drinks off FOR GOOD.

Planning on calling the girl I met at the goth night today to set up salsa dancing tomorrow night. She gets off late but I'm used to staying up late, will try to pull an f-close.

Girl I met on Tuesday night didn't answer her phone:

Met on Tuesday. Talked about hanging out on Friday, she said she'd go out after work.

I called her on Thursday to confirm date, I only talked to her for less than two minutes and she had to go "because she was driving". Kind of abruptly.

Called her at 1145-ish, no answer. Again at 1200pm, nothing. So I went home.

I'll call her on Monday to ask her out on Wednesday, if she flakes again, I'm just going to cut my losses and move on to the next girl so I can learn things faster.

Weekend was lame.

Went out to see one of the best real estate speakers on Saturday, so I had to reschedule surfing lessons to next Saturday. Later that night I drove 45 minutes to the beach for Latin Fest, but about 10 minutes after I got there it ended several hours early because of a storm on its way in. I did feel REALLY good that night too, I was wearing my sexy pink dress shirt and I was getting eyeballed by girls, and dudes were going "nice shirt". Ended up dropping by one of my female friend's house on my way back home. Didn't get anything because it was girls night.

Sunday was pretty gay, woke up late, didn't go to church for volunteering, and showed up late for a festival that ended early because of a storm- again. I guess I bring the bad weather wherever I go.

I didn't put out signs this week, but I will be making an offer on a house on Monday, so I might GET PAID soon!

I'll call HB8 from last Tuesday on Monday, invite her to an art museum on Wednesday (they have a live band and sh*t, it always impresses the girl when I take them there).

The weekend was a combination of poor self-control and poor weather, but I'm glad that I went out.

Last week I learned that it is TOTALLY worth driving 45 minutes to the tourist area to sarge, that Latin music and clubs are one of the BEST venues because I'm super comfortable, not to leave a club 20 minutes after I arrive, and that when it rains, there will be less girls at the club, but those girls are looking to get laid will brave the weather.

Went out last Friday, made HUGE progress.

Approached a girl on Friday, it went very well. Danced with her, but she didn't know how to dance well so I kind of had to teach her. Returned her to her friends. I ran into her a few times during the night and chatted her up briefly each time. Found out she was drunk, and she said "The only reason why I came out here was to make out with someone." It was an obvious come-on, but I didn't do anything. Instead we went back and danced, and she was grinding on me and sh*t. I kissed her ONCE and said "that's all you get" after I felt her trying to go for a makeout on the floor.

She was wearing a tanktop and denim miniskirt.

I ended up trying to move her and her friend to a place to eat, but I left without getting her number. I ended up turning my car around to find her again and get her number to invite her to the beach the next day, but she didn't show up when I texted her.

Went surfing on Saturday, haven't had that much fun in a while. Sunday was spent mostly organizing computer files. Educational computer files on pickup and real estate.

What I learned: MAKE OUT WITH CHICKS. They get drunk so the responsibility isn't on their shoulders. I should have taken her to the parking lot to "check out my cool propeller hat" and banged her on the hood of my car. I will start parking under this tree in the parking lot behind the club so that no one sees us messing around. Phone numbers aren't SH*T. This is fun.

Friggin COKES man. Drinking one right now. Still drinking soda/energy drinks. Whatever. Tonight is goth night, will be going out and trying to pull an f-close of course. My goal is to pull an f-close within the next three months. Still trying to learn the whole goth/rave scene, I'm kind of a "square" when I go there. I'll try being direct tonight: "You are ****ing goregous. My name's Vice."

FR and/or LR will be posted tomorrow, as I blocked sosuave from my personal computer.
