Real Deal REInvestor Network

Our own success teaches us little, particularly early on in any endeavor such as getting started as a real estate investor.

Failure on the other hand, if you extract the lessons and seeds of next success from the experience, then failure teaches us not to fear failure because if you can get back in the ring again and fight then you haven’t failed. Failing in this manner only increases our appreciation of successes, and ensures that we won’t make the mistake of believing we can take our next success or investment for granted.

The annals of entrepreneurial history are filled with stories like these. Many great successes, men like Donald Trump or Andrew Carnegie are marked by spectacular escapes from failed attempts at success, bankruptcies and failed businesses and investments. But with each failed or broken dream they learned what they had to learn, dusted off the debris of failure, and got back into action.

So, when I tell those people who ask “What do I do if I fail?” I tell them stories like these. “Do the best you can to prepare for success,” I tell them, Take action and keep taking action”, and “Do whatever you have to do to keep going when you fail”.

That’s all you need to be concerned about. Believe me, when I say “prepare yourself for success” there’s an element there that includes what to do to take away a successful learning experience from results that could be termed “failure”. You need a backup, plan, of course…but don’t let the worry over what you will do if you fail hold you back from taking action.

In fact, be comforted when and if you get less than hoped-for results on initial real estate investments (or business projects in general for that matter). Few entrepreneurs of any stripe, including real estate investors, succeed at the level they’d hoped on their first attempts.

Thomas Watson once said: “If you want to double your success rate, then double your failure rate”.

I couldn’t have said it better. The true failures are not those in my estimation who reach for goals and come up short. The true failures are those that never try.

You get asked all the time in the real estate investing and seminar industries “What will I do if I fail?”

Here’s a novel concept.

Pray that you do fail.

The bottom line is this:

If you have the courage to bounce back with lessons learned and get back on that horse, you’ll ride farther and faster than you ever would have if you hadn’t gotten a bloody nose first early on— and your losses will likely be less disastrous than they’ll be if your first major failure comes later on in the game when the stakes are higher.

Because you will lose, you will make mistakes, and you will “fail” in real estate investing.

For those who do succeed at their first attempts, the lessons learned from failure are not there to draw from when that first spectacular difficulty comes up and punches you in the gut. Many who haven’t learned the lesson of failure at that point have unfortunately gotten the wrong message from their success; they think they deserved it.

Many times, I’ve seen and talked to people who succeeded in early real estate investments and they believed that those successes granted them some kind of magic power. You can see it in how they act and hear it in how they talk. If they were right once— especially if they were right when others around them told them to walk softly or even that they were wrong— then now they think that every action they take or every opportunity they decide to pursue must be a brilliant decision.

If only it were that simple! No human being is infallible. And while we would all like to believe that we earn our successes through diligent work, sound education, our skills, foresight, and determination, the truth is that many people have these qualities and make mistakes investing or in business.

To take it further, the successes we achieve often are realized for reasons we don’t expect and hadn’t had a hand in creating in the first place.

God Bless,

I hesitate to write down a list,
Of all the countless opportunities missed.

 

Here is another testimonial from one of our students who is making things happen. There is no reason to say it can't be done. You just have to learn and then take action.

"I met Stew Spence about 8 months ago and I have to say that he's an amazing resource to have if you are thinking of investing in real estate. He truly cares about people and goes above and beyond, for those who are serious. His training is based on what has happened, not what just could happen. The reason for that is because Stew is the real deal. He's been there, done that, and paid the price. If you're working with him you're on the right track. So pay attention, take lots of notes, ask lots of questions, and keep his card handy.

Are you taking action?

 

Many people ask me what it takes to be a success and reach the top in real estate investing.

My answer is always these three things...

1. Work with experts in the business. By working with people who have been there and done that, you will shave years off your learning curve.  You will save thousands of dollars if you work with the right team of experts. Here is a trustworthy saying... In the multitude of counsel victories are won.

2. Be teachable at all times. No matter how long you have been in the industry there is always something new to learn. You will never arrive. Those who think they have are about to reach a nasty landing.

3. TAKE MASSIVE ACTION!!! Too many people say and very few people DO. If you want to be a success in real estate you must take action and never give up. You will face barriers, make mistakes and struggle in many areas. However, if you keep pressing forward and learning from your challanges you will reach success in real estate.

This student is an example of people who take massive action. I hope you enjoy. Success Stories

Associate Yourself With Success

Our real estate group has a goal of helping people across the United States begin realizing their goals of today and make serious progress to their dreams of tomorrow. What about you? Are you living the life you dreamed of?

If you're reading this right now, QUIT YOUR JOB! Haha, just kidding. But, seriously, if you're working for someone else..do you have an exit strategy from the workforce? If you do, great! If not, Why not? If not, go thou immediately and figure out What you want to Have in Life...marinate on that for a few days. Chunk it down. Get specific. Meditate or pray.

One thing that's phenomenal about investing in real estate is that it can be done in a number of ways; to be successful you just need to decide what you want to accomplish (i.e. who "success with real estate" will enable you to BE), and then devise a plan to get you there.

A helpful way to start is to start asking questions that go: "what do I need to DO in order to HAVE all those things/qualities/circumstances/dreams/accomplishments that I want in my LIFE?

You DO remember, now, it is YOUR life!

Answer those questions and you'll have a list of ACTIVITIES.

But where do you start now that you've got a list of activities? Good question, and unfortunately one that can't be answered as quickly and as generally as how to figure out what you want to HAVE and then what you have to DO to get what you want to HAVE.

You should already know what you want to HAVE in your life. These things are concrete, tangible for the most part. They deal with THINGS and EXPERIENCES. 

"I want to have as much time with my family as either of us can stand!"                                                                                      

"I want to have the ability to vacation anywhere, at any time- and for no reason at all!"

"I want to have the financial freedom to pursue my passions"                                                                                                         

"I want to have enough money to tithe $100,000 to my church"

These questions are easy, and if you haven't yet mapped them out...go do it! For those who are already on board, answer the tougher question....

 Who you have to BE to effortlessly DO the things necessary to HAVE everything you ever wanted in life?

This is NOT something I or anyone else can tell you.

Believe me, we’re still figuring this one out for ourselves, and working to implement what we find.

I'm pretty sure that this is a lifelong journey we're embarking on when we make this decision to decide who we want to BE.

So...Who are you anyway?

Really?

Do you know?

Maybe :)

I hope so..

But it's easier to find out if you talk about it with someone who cares and will help guide you through the thought process of self-actualization and focus. Surround yourself with people who are also striving to become something greater than they are today. Napoleon Hill said "We will emulate those with whom we most closely associate".

Let's closely associate together with people of integrity, people of vision, people who think like entrepreneurs and make things happen.

You can find plenty of people like that when you join the right mastermind group.
