TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY BUT THERE'S NOTHING TO CELEBRATE

It is official. Today is my 32nd birthday and I did not achieve my goal that I set back in January to close on an 8-20 unit apartment building.

I will not be celebrating my birthday this year. No parties. No travels. No vacations. There is nothing to celebrate. 

One mind shift I made this year is nobody cares if you tried. All that matters is if you reach the goal you set. Yes or no. For me it is no. Period.

It doesn't matter that I learned the apartment investing business, made industry connections, got over my fear of making cold calls, or hired & trained my team to skip trace and make calls for me.

Pure "Mamba Mentality". Here's what I am doing to make sure to make sure I am not in the same position this time next year:

  • 1. make sure my team is able to get a hold of 75-80% of leads (improve skip tracing efficiency)
  • 2. if we contact 75-80% of our lads and still not get a deal I will add a submarket to our list
  • 3. invest more in my team's training
    4. not start any other businesses (unless I am forced to) until we close . Pure focus on one thing.
  • 5. Give even more focus to our weekly, monthly, and quarterly numbers to ensure we hit our goals

Lastly, I pray for god to bless me with discipline, patience, and success. God got me.I am thankful for blessing me with growth in 2020.

One thing about me is I believe in myself before anyone else does.
