I did something different this morning…..

Gooood mornin’ guys & gals!

Instead of listening to a podcast on the way into work like usual, I decided to not listen to anything and have some time to myself to dig in within my own mind.

I was asking myself questions like:


“Who is the person I need to become to be able to achieve my vision?”

And

“What is holding me back right now from making serious progress towards my vision?”

The power of having time to myself to just breathe, sip my coffee, and go deep within myself for a little while was really powerful and there were a few things that became apparent:

1. There is really nothing holding me back from achieving what I desire, outside of the mental self-limiting beliefs telling me that I am not worthy & capable of jumping to the next position towards my vision and doing multiple multifamily investment deals & managing other deals/projects at the same and always have deals coming up to do next.

2. Capital is not the issue, much of my personal capital has been recently wrapped up in getting the house stabilized (STILL) and furnishing the MTR, dealing with the pond in the basement, etc. HOWEVER, folks have come to me recently with capital and want to do JV projects together… In the past few weeks I have also started being very intentional in raising investor capital for passive opportunities with an operator in our market as well and increased my networking 3 fold and had some fun conversations around those topics as well that has been a blast.

3. I need to just believe that I am worthy & capable of having multiple multifamily related projects going at the same time, and being able to collaborate with the community around me to be able to find deals, fund deals, and create the win-win structure that should be in every deal.

4. I need to be much more intentional around marketing for local off market multi’s to be able to create more opportunities for the community to come together and get deals done.

I think I might make that car ride into work every day a reflection period, that was incredibly powerful and I absolutely needed that lol. Damn.

Happy Monday y’all! 🔥🔥🔥

Always a good idea! What's the point in having all the money of a Trump or a Weinstein or a Musk if you don't have that thing money can't buy: character, self-knowledge, contentment, and vision?

    Have you heard of Rod Khleif? He has a very long running show called Multifamily Millions (I believe). He has interviewed hundreds of small time and big-name folks in MF syndications, and he's all about the introspection, self-motivation, self-confidence, and values. He believes it supports his investing skill and success, and he realizes that one's values are the key to it all. He lost his *** in 2008, and has had to work his way back up from zero, and is clear that it's not as much about the $ as it is the relationships, the mindset, and the big why.

    I've also found a lot of value in this quiet "me" time lately. I make a point at least a few times per week to go on a long walk in the park with no headphones, no agenda. Just time to think about the business I have going on, think about my goals (in business and outside of business), plan my next couple of steps, etc. I've got a lot out of those walks. 

    In the past any quiet time that came up I'd fill with music or podcasts. But that doesn't give you much opportunity to think about you and your goals.

    I have heard of him! I first heard him on a podcast, and I definitely have eyes on going to his multifamily seminar hopefully this year or next! I’ll definitely dig more into his show, thank you for the recommendation!

    I absolutely love it! After that first time, I implemented that habit into my morning routine now and I really look forward to doing it!

    I've read your topic and it's really inspiring what you said. I really struggle to dealing with the mental self-limiting beliefs and think that I'm not deserve what I have now. It's so important to believe in yourself, even if others don't. 

    Thank you!

    Happy Friday y'all :)

    1. ...nothing holding me back outside of ... beliefs telling me that I am not worthy & capable.

    2. Capital is not the issue... 

    (a) folks have come to me ... with capital and want to do JV projects together…

         (b)  ... I have also started ... raising investor capital for passive opportunities with an operator ...

    3. I need to just believe that I am worthy & capable ...

    4. I need to be much more intentional around marketing...

    worthy & capable

      [1]  worthy.  If you feel like you are not worthy, maybe some personal counseling (like family counseling) might help you quickly overcome this. During Covid they work through video chat on your phone and cost little. You can find someone on the internet if you like.

      [2] capable.  Maybe you are not Capable at this time. Make a list of everything you need to know, do and have. Learn what you need to learn and for the things you have problems doing -- hire that out, or find a business partner who is good at those things.

    Just my 2 Cents.
