Those words form the name of my company TAT properties.
I was one of those people who needed to "know everything".
While due diligence is important, ACTION is the KEY to getting anything done be it in business or in personal life.
There are several quotes which speak to the truth of this and i have listed some below:
"Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do."
- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
"An ounce of action is worth a ton of theory" ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Do not wait to strike till the iron is hot; but make it hot by striking."
- William B. Sprague
"Take the first step in faith. You don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step."
- Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
"Anyone can do something when they WANT to do it. Really successful people do things when they don't want to do it."
- Dr. Phil
"There are only two rules for being successful. One, figure out exactly what you want to do, and two, do it."
- Mario Cuomo
“The future depends on what you do today.”
― Mahatma Gandhi
“You are what you do, not what you say you'll do.”
― C.G. Jung
“Action expresses priorities.”
― Mahatma Gandhi
"A good plan violently executed right now is worth a hundred perfect plans put off until next week."
- General George S. Patton
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
― H. Jackson Brown Jr.
Hopefully at least one of these quotes will help you take that first or next step on the path to success.
Business name
How clever of you naming your business TAT. I'm still working on my name, or should say 'we', as I'm working with my grandson in the venture.
I think finding Cash Buyers will be a challenge. How has this been going for you?
These blogs have a wealth of information in them, and I certainly will be spending much of my 'nite' time reading them. There goes my bedtime recreational reading for quite sometime.
Will close for now with these words from Robert Frost, "The world is filled with willing people, some willing to work, the rest willing to let them.

Finding Cash Buyers
The buyer's list is always the challenge. I have at least 10 good buyers in each of the areas I am investing in however, searching for cash buyers should be something we set aside some time for each and everyday at least in my opinion.
It only makes sense, even the most active buyers can only do so many deals at a time so it is always best to have the biggest list possible. The techniques they teach here really do work.
I know what you mean about night time reading....
after a day spent working at both REI and my jobs and taking care of the kids, the late night is the only time I have left to do some research here.
I like your quote from Frost thanks for sharing.
As for naming your business, don't stress too much over it. I don't know what type of entity it is but I am guessing an LLC. If so, in the not too distant future I am sure you will be starting up other companies and corporations and you can wonder and spend more time on naming those companies. I was advised to come up with generic names for any future companies I set up, for example naming them for types of birds or trees etc. Maybe this will help you.
Good luck to you and your grandson.
warmest regards,
Lisa
