Got Excuses? Turn Them into Your 'Why'!
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... :)
