There is one common thing that every successful real estate investor or any successful person for that matter has is common. Its something that drives the individual to do what they do to be successful. I've read so many books, met so many successful people, and they all agree that if you don't know this you won't be successful. And that is you WHY!
Why do you do what you do? Why do you wake up in the morning to go work? Why do you go out at night and place bandit signs? Why do you stay up late writing yellow letters and placing them in envelopes?
You see the why factor is one of the most powerful tools that we all have. If you don't know your WHY, it just makes it harder for you to reach your ultimate goal. Everyone has their own reason why they do what they do. For some, or I should say a lot of us it would be family. The most common why of all.
I mean think about it. What drives you! Why are you doing what your are doing? I have to remind myself every now and then what my why is. It's actually pretty easy for me because my 4 why's just started school this week. With my youngest baby girl starting kindergarten. I was pretty bummed!!!! Any ways, oh yeah can't forget my other Why who takes care of the 4 Why's while I'm working, my soul mate, love yah! So, as you see, my why is them. I want to be a successful business owner and thats why I do what I do. It's why I deal with calling home owners at night and on the weekends. Placing bandit signs on the weekends. Driving around looking for ugly vacant houses. All while working full time. You see my ultimate goal is to take care of my parents, provide financial security for my family, and generations to come.
Once you know your why, there is nothing that can stop you from doing anything in your life. You may have negative people around you saying you can't do this, or why are you doing that, or you're wasting your time. Or maybe you're confronted with financial or personal challenges in your journey. But I tell you this, you may come across these challenges during your journey, but your why never changes. It's inside you and all around you. It follows you every time those challenges cross your path. That is the most powerful tool you have to succeed in anything. Whether it be in real estate investing, owning a business, running a marathon, joining the military, or graduating college, your why never changes. Its something only personal to you. The person doing the do!!!!
So what I recommend is to think about what your why is! Why are you doing what you're doing. Write it down on a piece of paper. Prioritize them in order. Only you know what your why is. It's unique only to you!
GOD BLESS!!!
GOD BLESS!!!
