Bon Jour!

I know it's been a minute since I've reached out. There are plenty of lame excuses I can offer for my lack of communication, but in short it just comes down to being lazy .. oh and there was also the 12 day trip to Paris that I returned from last week.

During the trip I read Robin Sharma's newest book, The Wealth Money Can't Buy.

I highly recommend it!

Recently, I've been thinking a lot about something Robin proposes. He emphasizes the importance of eliminating the phrase "I'll try" from your vocabulary.

According to Sharma, "I'll try" often reflects a lack of true commitment and subtly sets you up for failure. It allows room for excuses when challenges arise, leading to incomplete tasks and missed opportunities.

Missed opportunities in my work

Missed opportunities in my relationships

Missed opportunities in my health

Missed opportunities on my life's journey

In my early days of dealing with distressed properties, I often approached tasks with the mindset of "I'll try to get this done." This perspective, I realized, subtly prepared me for failure rather than success. It was a safety net for my insecurities, a pre-built excuse for any potential shortcomings.

Determined to implement a permanent change, I've shifted my approach to one of definitive action—saying "I will do this." The change is not just in words but in my entire mindset. This simple modification in language profoundly impacts my daily interactions and negotiations.

In my 14-day direct-to-consumer prospecting sequence, for example, embracing this commitment-driven approach ensures rigorous follow-up and engagement. Every call, every email, every interaction is an opportunity not just to try, but to succeed.

Reflecting on the broader implications, this shift has not only enhanced my professional effectiveness but also my personal satisfaction. Real estate investing, much like life, is filled with challenges and uncertainties. Adopting a commitment-centric mindset prepares me to face these challenges head-on, transforming potential stress into opportunities for growth and learning.

As Sharma suggests, real wealth and success come from such profound inner transformations. By fully committing to my actions, I not only increase my chances of success but also enrich my journey, making each day a testament to the power of determination.

This journey of transforming "I'll try" into "I will" has taught me a vital lesson: true commitment is the catalyst for achieving not just the goals set before us but also for living a fulfilling, purpose-driven life.

As I continue to apply this principle, I am constantly reminded of its value—not only in securing investments or closing deals but in crafting a life of genuine richness and success.
