"If I was making $60K a year, working for myself, I would've been happy. We didn't make money for a decade. I moved in with my in-laws, we had no rent. It was paycheck to paycheck trying to survive. To her credit, she stuck by me. ... I would rather work for myself and not make as much than to wake up hating what I do." - @stoolpresidente
.@danawhite says one of the keys to longevity is to block out all negativity:
“It never even crosses my mind that something's not going to work. I just keep going until it does work.”
“There's this Bruce Lee quote where he says, ‘Never say negative things about yourself or what you're working on even if you're joking, because your body doesn't know the difference.’”
“I never take in any negativity.”
INSTEAD OF WATCHING AN HOUR OF NETFLIX TONIGHT.
This 1 hour Stanford lecture by Joel Peterson will teach you more about negotiation and getting what you want than most people learn in years.
Bookmark it and give it an hour, no matter what.
Pray over Scripture.
“14 And this is the confidence that we have toward Him, that if we ask anything according to His will He hears us.
15 And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of Him.”
It’s wild driving to the club at 7 in the morning, when in your 20s you used to meet customers for breakfast two days a week at the same time.
Written goals read daily work.
Surrender to The Lord and watch how He keeps His promises.
Watch how He uses you.
Watch how He strengthens you and guides you.
Watch how He blesses you.
Thank You Lord Jesus.
I’m unworthy.
Every time I disappear from social media for a few days, my business grows.
Less scrolling.
More selling.
More offers.
More closings.
Funny how that works.
A reminder from Atomic Habits by James Clear:
“New goals don't deliver new results. New lifestyles do. And a lifestyle is a process, not an outcome. For this reason, all of your energy should go into building better habits, not chasing better results.”
Haters hate on you in an attempt to get you to feel so much self doubt that you stop going after your goals and dreams.
Haters in this case can be anyone in your life telling you you’re dreaming too big or your goals are unrealistic; not just internet trolls.
Because they hate to see someone going for something that they don't have the b*lls to do.
They feel so much insecurity and judgement of themselves that they need to tear others down to justify their own self doubts.
Don’t let them win.
In the last 24 hours, I've sent 5 offers and gone on 2 appointments to buy houses directly from sellers.
This business is a pure numbers game.
Show up every day. Stay consistent. Build your pipeline. Follow up relentlessly.
The leads you generate today become the deals you close months from now.
Trust the process.
Has happened to me
Regardless of what happens in my life whether I’m blessed or cursed
I know one thing is true
And there is no life worth pursuing outside of Jesus Christ
Life without God is empty
Things or accomplishments will never fulfill you on their own
You Need Him
