You Fail Your Way to Success
Do you ever feel that no matter what you do life just doesn't work out the way you want it too? I know that you may be struggling right now in your real estate career. Have you caught yourself blaming "the market"? Are you hoping that it will turn around soon? This kind of "victim" thinking will not serve you well in life.
Remember that you only have control over three things in your life - the thoughts you think, the images you visualize, and the actions you take (your behavior). How you use these three things determines everything you experience. If you don't like what you are getting and experiencing, you have to change how you are behaving. Change your negative thoughts to positive thoughts. Change your habits. Change what you read, who you hang out with, and how you spend your time.
Attendees at Gary Keller’s Down is the New Up were treated to a live performance and on stage interview with guitarist Bill McLaughlin. For twenty years, Billy astounded audiences around the world with his complex and rhythmic music. In 2001, he was diagnosed with Focal Dystonia, an incurable neuromuscular disease that rendered him unable to play his own music. By 2002, Billy McLaughlin’s career was over.
But in 2006, Billy began a comeback. Billy decided to relearn playing the guitar with his other hand. Imagine if you had to learn to write, eat, etc with your non-dominate hand. Billy said that he practiced 3 to 4 hours every day. Gary Keller pointed out that it took Billy 3 hours a day to "shift" the way he plays guitar - not 20 minutes here and 20 minutes there. As a result of Billy's focused intensity over time he is now, once again, performing for audiences.
Many people fail because they quit too soon. Are you ready to do what it take to not only survive but thrive.
