Key Points
1. Have no Plan B
Often times, when people get into real estate, they do it hoping that they can make a quick buck and
they come in with a backup plan if things go South. If you want to succeed, forget plan B.
You can’t truly succeed until you burn your boats and give yourself no chance of failure. When success is
your only option that is what you will achieve.
2. Tie Your Actions to your Future Consequences
As you trudge through your real estate career, day in and day out grinding away, it’s easy to get lazy and
discouraged, but if you keep the consequences of your actions in perspective, you will be able to
maintain momentum and motivation even through the difficult times.
Watching TV when you should be working? How do you think this will affect your financial future? Are
you up early doing the things you need to do while your competition is sleeping? How much more
quickly will you achieve financial freedom and the life of your dreams?
3. Design your Business around Your Ideal Life
There is no point in succeeding at the real estate business if you live a miserable life, working 16 hour
days and completely losing all semblance of a family and social life.
The key is to design your business around your lifestyle and not the other way around. If you don’t want
to work weekends or after a certain time, set that boundary from the get go and your life will be simpler
and more balanced.
Learn to create rules for yourself around the life that you want to live. Once you get sucked down the
rabbit hole of putting your business before your life, it is difficult to recover.
4. Be Consistent with the Basics
The only way to achieve true success is to be consistent with the basics over a long period of time. There
is no other way to the top. You must become a master at the foundational skills before you can build
your business to the top.
