8 SIMPLE STEPS TO RICHES IN REAL ESTATE OR IN ANY OTHER FIELD, FOR THAT MATTER REGGIE BROOKS
Sometimes we have a certain type of fear that robs us of an important part of our growth. We’ re afraid of making mistakes. Even though we’ ve only been involved in real estate for 5 minutes, we have this crazy notion that we shouldn’ t make mistakes. After all, we did take that 1 ½ hour seminar last year, we should be rich by now. If you have a problem admitting and accepting mistakes, you’ re missing out on one of the greatest tools that you could have in the creation of wealth.
I was in my early 20’ s when a 17 year old kid taught me something that will be with me for the rest of my life. He taught me that mistakes are our friends. He said that every mistake that we make has within it a lesson for us to learn. Some people are so busy trying not to make mistakes that they totally miss the lessons in the mistakes that they do make. By learning these lessons, then making the correct adjustment in our paths to success we can get to our goals at a very fast rate of speed.
What if you were able to look into the future. You might see that, in order for you to become a millionaire, it will take you making 175 mistakes, learning the lessons in each of those mistakes, applying those lessons to your business, and moving on to the next mistake. You might find yourself jumping out of bed and hurrying to meet the day! You can’ t wait to make the next series of mistakes, because you know that at the end of your mistake making, lesson learning day, you’ ll be closer to your goals! If you only made 5 mistakes yesterday, you’ re going to kick it up today. You’ ll make 10 mistakes today!! And, by the time you learn your lessons and apply the changes, you’ ll be surprised at how quickly you can be very far along in reaching your goals.
