The Most Understated Real Estate Investing Quality

No one cares about you more than you do. Things will go on in other people’s life (even those close to you) and the world will turn with or without you.  This blog post will be posted whether you read it or not. You will go about your day whether this blog post catches your attention or not. The week, the month, the next 3 months will take place and baseball games and swimming lessons, and businesses running, websites and groups will all take their appropriate stage whether you care or not. The point is: You gotta be that same tiger, that same constant (constant being used as a noun) that everything else is - and teach your team to be the same. This separates the real from the fake. I believe that the best descriptive word for this is consistency. 

Hi, I'm Josh, an investor here in Monroe, LA. I've been involved with groups of many cultures, age groups, social statuses, net-worths, you name it - Consistency is something that everyone deals with. I believe that everyone everywhere is consistent in something and inconsistent with other things. EVERYONE. This is something that is not talked about much in its concentrated form. You see, I’m an investor of real estate but this particular read goes across the board.

EVERYONE deals with it on a regular basis. Whatever thing a person has continued success in is because of their consistency in that thing. Vice versa: whatever is a not-so-successful thing, it’s a result of their Inconsistency. Another thing… it’s easy to be consistent in things that you like but not so easy with things that you don’t prefer. Think about sports. Paid or not paid – Most athletics like coming to practice. But school for every athlete, not so much.

Mediocre is the majority. Success is a byproduct of consistency. From the smallest to the largest roles in major companies, those individuals are in those positions because of their consistency. If you have grandkids tell them that. We can scream and cry and complain all day but if we keep starting and stopping, the results will soon follow. This is even good for myself to hear. EVERYONE deals with this issue.

So How Do You Deal With This Consistency Factor.

Learn about it. .. …

That’s it. …

I believe that whenever you learn about something it changes something inside of you. When you learned that fire burns, you became more cautious around it for the rest of your life. When you learned about this blog you began to CHANGE something in your schedule to take time out to view this page or answer to whomever is showing you this right now. Of course we know that I could go on and on about things we’ve learned. That’s how I believe consistency is executed on purpose.

Consistency is a good thing to do on purpose. Let’s not continue to settle for the norm unless we indeed plan to stay where we are. Most of you may work a 9 to 5 but have other dreams – maybe of starting and running your on business or being able to do more charitable works. You’ve started with a “thought” just like everything else in the world starts. But just check yourself (you’re the only one who can) and ask “Am I being consistent?” Start with one thing and make your way prosperous situation by situation, day by day.
