If you want to be successful, heed advice from people who have already done what you want to do.

If you want to make a million dollars in the real estate market, ask advice from a real estate millionaire. (Why would you ask advice from your brother-in-law whose only experience in real estate is paying off the mortgage of the house he’s currently living in?)
Associate with people who shoot a lower golf score, or have a more profitable investment portfolio, or have made a million dollars in real estate, or who do anything that you want to do better than you currently do it.

You’ll learn what they know by listening to what they say and watching what they do. You’ll improve yourself if you take action on what you learn.
