In baseball, the term is “balk.” It’s when you seem to be throwing home, but you throw it somewhere else.
A couple of weeks ago, I started the OwnerFinanceGuru.com web site. My intention was to build a business around what I know about owner financing of real estate transactions. I soon found out there were a couple of problems. First of all, I didn’t know as much as I thought, and there was a lot more to learn. Further, if I am honest about it, I really don’t have much interest in learning it.
The turning point came last week when I was talking to a friend who was coaching me through some business startup issues. She finally just said to me, “You don’t love this do you?”
Actually, no.
I have been studying several marketing and company startup gurus and every one says, “Do what you love.” It all came home to me when my friend asked that question.
Her next question was, “What do you WANT to do?”
I want to teach leadership and life lessons through horsemanship.
I had started with the owner financing because I could see a quicker path to making money with it. But I really don’t like it. I worked in that field as a computer nerd for 25 years, and I am ready to move on to work in what I love.
I know I don’t know everything about horses, but I am itching to learn more. Learning about owner financing? Not so much.
So, even if you got to know me through real estate links, please stay with me. I will be able to teach you some life lessons using examples I have learned in my horsemanship. Stick around.
