The Pathfinder's Journey: The Key to Your Dream Life Through Real Estate Investing by Tiffany Vogel, Eric Vogel, Eric Vogel

5.0

The Pathfinder’s Journey is the narrative self-discovery story of fictional Charlie and Liza Webber, who are introduced to Financial Freedom through Real Estate by their new neighbor Dan. You follow the Webbers through their first few years as real estate investors, as they learn what the Vogels call The Five Pillars of Success: Discover Your Why, Create Your Roadmap, Change Your Mindset, Design Your Lifestyle, and Set Big Goals. For each of these Pillars, the Vogels give the examples that the Webbers and their investing network took, but also give the readers the names of more books, podcasts, and media to consume in order to expand on the concepts given in The Pathfinder’s Journey. (Yes, I do read and consume this same media!) What I really love about this book, besides their shout-outs to even more resources for the beginning investor, is that they’re showing the hard and easy parts of real estate investing. The easy part is doing the homework, reading the books, listening to the podcasts, and watching the YouTube videos. The hard part is changing your mindset into believing that you CAN do what you’ve set out to do, silencing and ignoring the naysayers in your life (including your own brain), and putting your entire life on hold to focus on the long-term goals you’ve set for your life. Filled with actionable steps to take, The Pathfinder’s Journey will help new investors get over the hump of analysis paralysis AND be a great resource for seasoned investors to hand off to their mentees as a blueprint for success. Five-Star Review from me. - I did receive a free pdf ARC copy of the book as part of the launch team, but I first read it on KindleUnlimited after it was released, then purchased my own digital copy to keep forever. -
