No matter what you want to do in your life, what you want to accomplish, you would agree, that it all starts with you…period!
Sure there are other factors and influences involved, but if you decide you want something bad enough, you will always find a way to get it.
I was 12 and wanted a new ball glove. I didn’t have the money, but even back then I didn’t say ‘I can’t afford that’ instead I said ‘HOW can I afford that’ and within a few days I collected enough pop bottles to buy my glove.
When your burning desire is so great that it is literally embedded in your mind, then there are no other options, you will find a way to succeed.
I’ll share with you another experience that I had a few years back when I was an adult.
A friend approached me, he had just gone through one of those ‘no money down’ real estate courses, and he wanted to partner up and start flipping houses. I wasn’t happy in my job as a dairy manager in a grocery store, so I thought yea, lets do it.
We had no extra money, no experience, couldn’t get a mortgage for another house, so we started with Zero…Well I started placing ads in Real Estate networks on the web and low and behold I received a call the next day. After faxing back and forth, within an hour we had both signed a simple one page contract of the terms and conditions.
The next week we found, and purchased a house…a fixer upper for sure. Our investor, whom we’d never met, sent down a cheque – in trust to our lawyer – for the full purchase price.
Well it ended up that my partner was not willing to follow through to the end, so we parted ways. I finished renovating the house, sold it, split the profits with my investor and made about $20,000 in 3 months…not bad seeing as how I started with Zero, just a burning desire!
I tell you this, not to impress you, but to impress upon you, that once you set your mind to something, once you have a burning desire, and once you just get started, things seem to magically happen that get you to your end goal…but it’s not really magic, that’s just how powerful your brain is. I believe more powerful then any computer on the entire planet.
It won’t all be roses and glory along the way, but that’s part of the learning and growing that you’ll have to go through if you wish to reach your goal.
Attempting and failing at something is not failure. Continuing to attempt the same things, and expect different results, that’s failure.
It all starts with you and your desire, and the value you bring to the table. The more value, the easier success will be.
My investor was attracted to me because I was able to give him a good Return on Investment (ROI) which is what every investor is looking for. I was attracted to him because he was able to supply the capital needed for me to reach my goal.
Understand that it all starts with you…period! By adding value to you, and then those around you, you can achieve any goal that you set for yourself.
