Small Steps and Tax Liens….

Last year one of my tax liens redeemed that I had held since 2002. I made over $3,700 in profit on that lien on only a little more than $4,000. And I had put that money in over the course of 7 years and then did nothing for 3 more years. During that time the money I had invested kept earning interest. My initial investment was only around $450 and I kept adding to that each year for the first 7 years paying the subsequent taxes (in this case it was a utility lien so I was paying the subsequent utility payments). And then I decided to force redemption by sending pre-foreclosure letters to the owners and lien-holders of the property. The mortgage holder then paid off the lien, and I practically doubled my money in – investing a little each year.

My point is, if you have a little money to invest, start small and start now, later it will pay off!

Here’s a motivational message from my friend Arnfried of Be Motivated Today that talks about the importance of taking those small steps towards your goal:

“How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time”

No matter how great the task, it can be competed by simply doing something on a consistent basis. Work a little bit on each of your 3 most important goals every week. Plan to work on them at a set time every week. This becomes a habit.

Even if your goals are not achieved within the time-frames you originally set, just keep plugging away at them.
If you have to complete one by a certain date, then just double your efforts every week.

But if a week goes by without you working on your goals, just spend a few minutes looking over your plans again. This will motivate you to work on them once more. But try to do a little bit each week.

“Small steps taken on a consistent basis will always lead to great results”

Before you know it you will see real progress. In time you will achieve the next mini-goal. Just keep taking all the small steps necessary to reach your goals!
