Weekly Wisdom #264 - Flip Your Fear Upside Down

Thanks for the advice, very encouraging. I will start 2014 fearless.

Interesting concept of flipping fear around. Never thought of it like that! Happy Thanksgiving Dean and to all the DG family!

Dear Dean, What happened to Jill & Myself in the
beginning was exactly what your message is about
today. Once we accepted your teams education we have not looked back.
Thank You,
Kevin

I'm getting to know more about real estate more than I did before. I wouldn't be able to have done it without the help of Dean and the entire DG family.I'm definitely going to find the fear to motivates me.

Thanks Dean and God Bless

Thank you Dean for sharing, since we have been your students we have totally changed our entire mindset and our lives. We are closing on our 1st 3 deals all next week. I was scared at first but now, I have changed my fear from being scared to wanting to accomplish so we could move on and do more. We are so very thankful for you and your education and a different mindset that only like-minded people understand. Happy Thanksgiving!

Tina

Thank you! We will celebrate the little steps and use the fear to move ahead! Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanks Dean for this week's weekly wisdom. I have been thinking a lot about fears lately. You're right, it is time to flip them around and doing great things, God willing. You and your family have a great Thanksgiving!

Dean, went to your 3 day training here in Michigan this past weekend. It was awesome, but I wish the book was more thorough. Also, I wasn't aware that you were working with the other people.

As we all know, we all suffer from this phobia of fears at times, but I will reiterate here and say if you make your fear bigger than your dream, your aspiration and your goal, then you know you have a problem. Your dreams, your Aspiration and your Goals have to be bigger than your Fear. It was Carol Stinson, one of our DG family member who say go and "Do it Afraid" Happy Thanks giving to you Dean and Family.

There are so many things that I am thankful for--it's a great exercise to start writing them down. It definitely will change your perspective.
1. Being born in the USA. The opportunities we have in this country are incredible.
2. Dean Graziosi, Matt Larson, Chad Merrihew and the other great people that mentor us along in the DG family.
3. Having the support of my family and friends. It has been such a blessing that every single one of my family members and close friends have been 100% supportive of me going into real estate investing.
4. My two kids--they are truly a blessing. It's been fun working on this business with them.
5. My Savior Jesus Christ. What else could I possibly need?

Blessings to you all.

Man, I look back on my life and I shoulda been dead a dozen times. I'm so grateful for the 2nd chance I got 25 years ago. For my family, for being a dad, for making a difference and most of all for the transforming power of God in my life. Happy Thanksgiving. Whatever trials and pains you face, they shall pass. Have hope and do not be deceived by the trials of this life.

I know I have not watched your amazing and powerful weekly wisdom video's in quite some time or just being here on DG. I've been so busy trying to get deals closed, finding buyers, trying to get the deals for my buyers that sometimes it seems like your not moving anywhere at all. But you know somethingm I'm always reminded that the end is not yet and I dare to be refused and dare not to give up. Were just inches away from a deal to finally close and I can't wait when that happens but in the meantime I am thankful for all God, my family, dg family, you dean, the learning progress I have made by simply taking action. I am grateful for everything that has happened to me because without it I would not be the person I am today. And I will take you on your advise to celebrate the small successes along the way.

Happy Thanksgiving Dean to you and your family and my entire DG family...love you all

I am thankful for all that you have taught me in these weekly wisdom videos. I am thankful for all the friends I have made on DGIE. I am thankful for the opportunity to learn real estate. I am thankful for all the experts that help when I need it. I am thankful for not giving up on myself.
Here is to wishing you, your family, and the entire DG family a happy and blessed Thanksgiving.

DG's family. Wish you and your family a very Happy Thanksgiving and All the DG's family too.

I hope you and your family have a blessed day!

I am grateful to God for all the things He has blessed me with, including finding out about your RE education and becoming a part of the DG family!

Thank you for all you do for so many people!

God bless,
Lynn

Awesome!! What I am most thankful for this Thanksgiving is the DG FAMILY! And this website, I have never been so excited to get off work and go home to this study as I have been with this education. Many, many thanks. HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

I am thankful that I have the success academy to call when I panic and don't have the answers. Or to just vent my frustrations. Also my life coach, Shawn, from Insider Elite, who is always there to put me on the right path for success in real estate, in my relationships, my life, or anything else I can throw at him, even when I don't make him a priority. These are things I've failed to take advantage of more than I have. They are paramount for me to continue as a successful investor. You cannot find these kinds of resources anywhere else. Thank you Dean.

This past Monday (Nov.25) my husband was admitted to the hospital at 10:00 a.m. by 11:00 p.m. he was having brain surgery. The neurosurgeon told us that any hit to the head could have killed him. It is Thursday, November 28 and my husband is home from the hospital believe it or not and is better than ever. One would never know that he had just undergone an operation on his brain. While sitting in the hospital all I could think of was how happy I was that he was there being treated and taken care of. I can only say how thankful and grateful I am to live in a country where he could get the help he needed right away, that he is on the other side of this major operation and I still have him in my life.
This experience has reminded me just how fragile life is and how much we take for granted. It has propelled us both to new and greater determination with regards to making positive changes in our lives including our RE career.
The fear of not appreciating each day's full potential both on a personal as well as business level is what is motivating us now.

Happy thanksgiving to you all and all the best in everyone's RE journey.

warmest regards,
Lisa Richardson

Hi Dean.

Happy Thanksgiving to you, your family, the DG team and the entire DG family.

I am thankful for opportunities, choices, information, my family, God, You, the DG team, the DG family, my experiences, people I have met, my pet, my church family, my parents, my siblings, and my in-laws.

I am still a work in progress when it comes to flipping my fears. Some of them still paralyze me, while others are now motivators.

Hello Everyone,
Great post! Happy to be a part of DG connection,. Happy Thanksgiving to all, fear to me is just a part of human's nature. "I hate what I fear, and fear what I don't understand". It's an uphill battle but no mountain is too high to climb.

Opposite ends-"Fear of Failure" or "Fear of Success" -one could have either -so we do want to flip it --drive right through the middle using it as a guide or a force to be reckoned with.

Thanks for the inspiration of thinking about "fear"
differently!

I am grateful for your site and your weekly wisdom video blogs that each one in never uninteresting and always learning something.

I am personally Truly grateful to you for all that you do for us on this site.

Hi Dean

Im Thankful for the education you have given me, Im thankful for staying up one late night and seeing you on TV

I think what holds me back from taking it to the next level is fear of success. I have gotten real comfortable doing a few deals per month in Miami which is my backyard. I want to grow just like you and Matt have and I know I must take it to the next level in order to grow.

Great blog Dean. Happy Thanksgiving. Thanks Sam.

Stop focusing on the fear that paralyzes you. Focus on the fear that motivates you.
