What’s up fellow real estate investors this is John with REI Wealth Academy. Man! it has been a while, hasn’t it? So I’ve had all kinds of crazy things and I’m sure throughout your life, you know, maybe you set certain goals way up high and then just something in life just comes and smacks it all aside and you have to reorganize and redo a lot of things about your life. But now you’re getting ready to get back on track. And a lot of ways, that’s where I am right now. I’m with even putting out these videos and getting started. My wife and I, we had a new baby. I officially left the military in the air force altogether, so I’m no longer affiliated, in any way, which kind of opens the doors and a lot of opportunities or things that I wouldn’t have been able to do before.
But I’m real excited for a lot of the opportunities that are presenting themselves to me. And I’m real excited to kind of have to be unshackled, for some of that. We also moved all the way from California to Nebraska. That, I mean that’s a huge shift. That’s a huge move for anybody to go through. So overall what I really want to stress to you is life is going to just come in there like a freight train sometimes and just smash all the plans that you ever had. And that’s why having your big why is so important. Number one, it does keep you focused when you’re in the zone, when you’re in that work environment where you’re struggling and you’re striving every single day just to get out there, to get leads, to do driving for dollars, to do all of the daily activities that put money back in your pocket, having that big why helps you stay motivated to get things done.
It also helps you reorient when things go awry. When that freight train comes through and just smashes your life to pieces, so to speak, well to the point that you’re able to get back up and to start, you can then kind of reorient to that North Star of your life that big why and then start again. And there’s no shame in being able to start again. There’s no shame in having to kind of take a step back. It just simply understands the reality that you’re not where you want to be. There’s no sense in going back over the past at all. You got to forgive yourself for anything that you’re responsible for because right now you’re responsible for making sure that you determine what your future’s going to be and your big why is absolutely a huge part of that overall. This is going to be a little bit of a motivational, kind of a week, motivational kind of month overall as we’re going into Thanksgiving, going into Christmas, getting ready for 2020.
And I want you to think about this like, even though maybe you haven’t done things all year, maybe you’re not, where do you want to be. Finish out 2019 strong by doing the things that you need to do every single day. And then just trying to get back to that big why, trying to get reoriented yourself to getting the things done that you need to get done. And then it’s simple as that. Try to find a way. If you simply, you’re looking out into the future and you now there’s all of these things that you need to get done. It’s this gigantic elephant. Well, you just need to take one bite at a time and just celebrate the fact that you’re getting disciplined to do those one, that one thing today, that one thing this week, that one thing this month in order to push your life forward to where you want it to go.
That’s what I’m doing in my life and in my business. That’s what I hope you’re doing in your life and your business and your real estate investing career.
