WAY OF THE WARRIOR
A real estate warrior isn’t just someone
charging ahead determined to achieve
‘rhinoceros success’ at any cost. In fact,
the true definition of ‘warrior’ refers more
to experience than anything else. Any-
one that is even vaguely familiar with the
explosion of MMA and the UFC, knows
two things. First is that what was once a
mixed martial arts competition between dif-
ferent styles and strategies has evolved to
where virtually every fighter now trains in a
variety of arts in order to be able to survive
and win. It’s about making the right moves
at the right time. Second; you can’t just be
great at offense or defense. Anyone can
score a one hit wonder, once. But to win
over the long run, you need both. You’ve
got to be covered from the hits, and have
good technique and know when to strike
too. That’s why football teams have both
an offense and defense.

able to brush off some hits. That’s true of
real estate, personal finance, life, martial
arts, and boxing. Just ask Mohammed Ali.
This year I’m celebrating 27 years as
a martial arts business owner, and 20
years as a real estate business owner.
It’s been a couple decades of making
great strides in income, wealth building,
and being able to share those successes
with others.
What I haven’t talked about much
before is the blows. Not the market cycles
and changes. I’ve managed to weather
those quite well. But those we all face
such as health challenges. Despite
decades of fitness and training even I
have found myself out of the office due
to unexpected medical issues in the
past. We all get KO’d by the flu now and
again, but I’ve also had to undergo ankle
surgeries, and deal with eyesight issues,
and more. This year I was hospitalized
with meningitis. That meant weeks in
bed. Some people never survive that. For
the average individual that time off and
the medical bills can mean the end of a
career and bankruptcy.
I made it. Everything continued to keep
moving like clockwork, and I’m confident
that issues like these won’t take me down
