Patrick Riddle here with some tough love…
Have you looked at your calendar?
It always amazes me how fast time flies.
Have you thought about how your year has been so far? Have you accomplished everything you thought you would?
The sad thing is… most people don’t achieve the goals they set out to at the beginning of the year — or even worse, don’t have any written goals at all. For shame!
Why?
Well, in Brian Tracy’s classic, “Maximum Achievement,” a few reasons he gives for people not setting and achieving their goals are:
- People simply aren’t serious (they’re talkers not doers).
- People let fear of rejection and fear of failure stop them in their tracks.
- People don’t realize the importance of goals or how to set them.
Well, the clock is ticking…
A TON can be accomplished in business and life in a few short months — with focused and inspired effort.
Check this out…
In just 6 “short” months, a young 25-year-old dude from Chicago built a website called Groupon from zero… to over 2 million visitors a month. Now, that company is worth over $700 million.
A down-and-out man named Michael Ventrella weighed over 520 pounds and was just years from dying if he didn’t make big changes. But he decided he wanted massive change and went on to lose over 264 pounds in just 6 months. His life changed forever.
And there’s a 29-year-old immigrant from Brazil who decided he’d had enough, so he made a decision… that he’d buy 2,000 multifamily units within 2 years, starting from scratch, with no experience. And 6 months in, with nothing more than his determination and hard work… he had acquired over 600 units worth millions. Now his portfolio is worth millions and millions of dollars.
Look, if these guys can do this…
YOU can close your first deal… heck, YOU can close a dozen.
YOU can get $100K, $500K, even $1 million bucks for your REI business.
Isn’t it amazing what can be accomplished so quickly?
It happens when you’re willing to decide what you want and put in the focused effort to get it.
The alternative is that sooner or later, the day will arrive when you look back at your life with regret. You’ll regret all the things you could have done, all the things you meant to do, but didn’t.
As Jim Rohn says:
“We will all experience one pain or the other — the pain of discipline or the pain of regret — but the difference is that the pain of discipline weighs only ounces while the pain of regret weighs tons.”
I don’t want you to look back with regret.
It’s time for you to get serious, break through your fears, and learn how to set goals effectively.
So, here’s what you need to do…
After you finish reading this blog post, set aside some time, even a couple of hours, and dive into some specific training. Something that you know will help you level up your game and accelerate the success that you’ve envisioned for this year.
Whether that’s reading a book that’s been on your shelf or on your to-do list forever, or going through a training program that you invested your hard-earned dollars into but haven’t yet crossed the finish line with… figure out what you can do.
Put it in your crosshairs and get going on it now.
When you finish this blog post in 2 sentences… set aside a couple hours and decide on that thing. Keep that ball moving forward. Put it on your calendar — things on your calendar get honored, whereas things in your brain often become victims of the good ideas, but never actually get implemented or executed.
Don’t waste another minute… take action now!
You got this.
