Seeking success, Is failure what it takes to get there?

[James H Webb III]

Which would you choose? Failure or success? Success is what I am looking for, but I will choose failure in order to learn and grow. I work for a company that acquires real estate for a holding company and I am running into the same problem that I am sure the majority of real estate investors are facing right now....finding deals that are worthy of purchasing. With the current market being one of the strongest sellers markets we have seen in recent history and my job title being "Acquisition Specialist" what am I missing? I have reached out to divorce attorneys, property managers, wholesalers, agents, Facebook groups, BP forums, banks, ....the list goes on. I have met some amazing people and some that aren't operating from a place of abundance to where they may have been able to help. I am LOVING growing in this community, however if I don't start acquiring properties soon I won't have the financial wherewithal to take care of myself and my family. Failure for the sake of growth is an option I am fine with. Failure due to laziness and not asking the right questions is something I can not live with. Am I in a plating season of my career to where the deal flow will come? If so am I sowing my seeds correctly? Let's share thoughts and grow together BP!

@James H Webb III I think your mentality is awesome! We should never crave failure and I argue we should hate failing! BUT, going into this journey with the mindset that you will fail is important so you can be on the lookout for how to grow through failures. I love Thomas Edison's quote, "I failed my way to success" 

Always learning, always growing
