OfflineIn his book Totally Fulfilled, Dean points out that children are told “No” 10,000 times by the age of seven. When you think about that it’s an astounding number. It’s no wonder many people grow up with limiting beliefs about what they can accomplish in life.
I myself for years wondered what I could accomplish. Actually, I didn’t wonder what I could accomplish. More often than not I didn’t even get that far. I would simply tell myself that I couldn’t do whatever I was thinking about before I even gave myself a chance. Thankfully, that all changed as I began to get involved in real estate.
My third deal in real estate included buying 24 properties in a single deal. If I had stopped to ask anyone if they thought I could do that or if I should do it I probably would have been met with a huge amount of negativity. I may not have pursued the deal. Fortunately, I was too naïve to ask so me and a business partner went for it. Three weeks later we bought another 10 properties. By the end of that same year we had purchased about 300 properties either individually or in packages.
Today, I have bought and sold over 1,600 properties. Real Estate has completely changed my life. More importantly, it has changed my thinking. I now know that anything is possible. All you have to do is put forth the effort, believe, and have a little faith that you can do whatever you set out to do.
Bottom line – Believe in Yourself!
