Got Excuses? Turn Them into Your 'Why'!

Fradel Schaechter

Even once deciding to go ahead and get my feet wet in real estate, I realized my Brain still had some excuses going why I couldn't succeed at it. Here are some of these excuses:

1) I don't have enough energy (as i struggle with a chronic medical condition...)

2) I don't have enough time (because I am a young mother of two children...)

3) I don't have enough money (because though our savings are growing steadily, it is not enough to do a deal on my own...)

4) I don't know enough (at least it seems little relative to the information out there...)

So now, Brain, listen well: These 'excuses' listed here are precisely the reasons you NEED to get good at this, and quickly too!

Here's how to turn them into WHY: I want the freedom I can achieve in Real Estate so that I can:

1) have more time in the day to nurture myself physically as I try regain optimal health

2) have more time to devote to my children as they are growing up

3) have the money I need and want to sustain a lifestyle I can enjoy

4) Learn as I progress in this field and meet the people who can teach me more than I ever thought possible

OK, I'm all ready to go now!

If you have excuses that turned into you 'why', share them here!

Thanks for reading... :)
