INTERVIEW WITH BEN LEYBOVICH NOLAND ARARACAP
You’ll either be ready, or you won’t be – it’s up to you…
2.
Realize that lack of money is not an excuse. Knowledge trumps money in real estate.
3.
Don’t focus on winning too much. Concentrate on NOT losing. If you don’t lose, winning happens by
default.
4.
Find a mentor. I have been fortunate to have had several. Nowadays, whenever I have a question, the
answer is just a phone call away. This is priceless in my opinion.
5.
Choose your friends wisely. It is human nature that when you begin to succeed, some people will try to
“knock you down”. This is because your success will make many feel as though they are being left behind
– nobody likes that. Make sure you surround yourself with people who know success intimately! Dr. Steve
Maraboli said it best:
“If you hang out with chickens, you’re going to cluck and if you hang out with eagles, you’re going to fly.”
Choose your friends wisely!
Before we go, are there any final thoughts you’d like to share with us?
Most people believe that real estate is about dirt and bricks, but this is only partially true. In my opinion, real
estate is about people!
Nobody takes action in real estate without an underlying need.
A real estate
transaction, therefore, is a means of providing a solution to a problem, whatever it may be.
As a real estate entrepreneur, your success is a function of being able to recognize exactly what the
problem is, and having the tools in your bag to cater solutions to everyone involved. Your ability to do
this is a function of your real estate education!
