Why is it that some people naturally attract good, positive energy & wealth in their lives while most others don’t…failing at most everything they do?
I set out to find if there was a way to measure why this happens. After talking with hundreds of people and coaching real estate entrepreneurs directly one on one over the last few years, I believe I’ve nailed the answer.
I’ve based my conclusion from following only successful, proven people and I can tell you, their technique is extraordinary.
I’m still unsure why everyone else ignores this valuable insight.
Here It Is …
The most successful people are those who decide.
They simply see a roadblock and decide left or right. They don’t wallow and wonder what to do … they know they have to decide in order to get where they want to go. For you and me, I would assume one of the big roadblocks is getting past our comfort zone and doing things we are uncomfortable with…to step into the fear of the unknown and take a risk or two … isn’t that right?
So following the strategy successful people use, all we need to do is decide to do something different … and this is where most people fail. They stick to what they know, what they’re comfortable with and hope for the best complaining and whining as the years pass.
I’ve even met people who expect the universe to drop wealth and success in their lap because they ‘deserve’ it. I’m sure you know what I’m talking about; people like this are everywhere … let’s face it, they are probably in your circle of friends and family too.
What’s even more disturbing is they end up working into their late 60’s, 70’s and yes, sometimes 80’s because of their indecisiveness. If you don’t believe me, take a look at the increase of senior employees in Walmart, Home Depot, McDonalds, Tim Horton’s, etc.
As a lifelong entrepreneur, I’ve also experienced my own life imprisoned by my business, making sacrificial choices that did not align with my values. If I didn’t ‘wake up’ from this nightmare, I would definitely end up like a lot of other horror stories we hear about when it comes to business owners and their lives.
Knowing this, if you had the chance to choose a better, faster path to wealth & freedom TODAY, would you be willing to throw away what has NOT worked for you up to now?
Would you be willing to do something you’ve NEVER done before and have the patience for it to work?
That’s THE Question …
To which only you know the answer. The more you ignore a decision to move away from what doesn’t work, the more you are likely to fail because your life is controlled by someone & something else – don’t you agree?
Let me give you a short example: when it comes to my real estate investments, I recognize they are basically five year runs…because it usually takes a while for the property to start cash flowing nicely, the mortgage to reduce and hopefully, the market has gained some appreciation for me and my JV partners to benefit.
I’m not an overnight speculator; I want foundational wealth, something that is safe, slow building, and tangible…not a piece of paper investment. My decision, today at 48, is understanding I have a time-sensitive window to make-up some ground if I want to enjoy my later years.
I MUST choose to believe in my investments, to take risks, to let the “market” do what it has to do.
The same goes for building my businesses. I don’t sit and wait like most “wantreprenuers”.
CAUTION: even if you’re younger than me, take into consideration what I’m saying. I have been a businessman all of my life. But I let society and other things control my destiny. I would NOT have to be “making up time” if I had learned what I’m telling you here.
So I invite you to look at your “wants” and “wishes”. Truly analyze your business, your investments, your life and what you’re sacrificing. Keep doing what has worked and throw away what hasn’t – even if it hurts because you’ve lost money, time & energy. The way I see it, you’ll lose a LOT more money, time and energy if you keep doing the same thing over and over…you’ll lose your LIFE.
Have a thought? Let me know below – I’d love to keep this thread going.
