The Thorn versus The Dangling Carrot

[Steve Chan]

This year (2020) I attended The Best Ever Conference in Keystone, CO, which is an excellent event that Joe Fairless host's every year. His keynote speech was based around the premise of having a thorn, rather than a dangling carrot, to help motivate you to achieve your goals. Here is a better description:

This was one of my biggest takeaways from the conference. The thorn that I created for myself was hiring a professional real estate coach to help me acquire a large multifamily property. Although I am already a partner in hundreds of units in Dallas, I want to execute a plan from start to finish as a key principle. I'm starting to become more active on BiggerPockets so you can follow my journey. In the meantime, what's your thorn?
