Journaling helps you be more
creative.
Regular journaling can help you
brainstorm new ideas. You probably
think your ideas are pretty dull and
ordinary. However once you put all those
ideas on paper, you will begin to see a
bigger picture emerge for growing your
investing business. Thoughts, ideas,
and opportunities begin to come
together once you begin writing.
Action Step: Once
you’ve done your brain
dump, look at what you
have written. Where is
there an opportunity for
creativity in your
business? What
ordinary thing can you
do differently; in a more
creative way? You
might just surprise
yourself.
Journaling helps you think big.
Write “no limits” at the top of one of your pages. (Remember
that no one has to see this). If there were no limits, what
would your dream business look like? You can put all those
big ideas on the page without your inner voice telling you,
“That won’t work”. This is a judgement free zone.
Action Step: Write down 3 big ideas you have for your REI
business you haven’t said out loud. Nothing is off limits.
Journaling helps you build better habits.
Once you begin journaling, you will automatically become more aware of your
actions and your habits. Whether it is things you need to do more of (like exercising
or eating better) or things you are doing too much of (like wasting time surfing the
internet), they will become apparent as you write about your days. As an
entrepreneur, over time your habits will likely be largely responsible for the success
of your real estate business.
Action Step: Decide to write even a paragraph
in your journal each day that describes your
previous day. Be sure to include the good, the
bad and the ugly whatever that might be.
