Key Takeaways

Tip #1—Develop your WHY

  • Affords clarity, moment of decision
  • Less about you = more powerful

Tip #2—State your goals clearly over multiple time frames

  • Create yearly, 90-day, monthly, weekly and daily goals
  • Short-term goals align with big targets (e.g.: analyze 20 deals)

Tip #3—Always do the next 3 things

  • Best way to avoid overwhelm, keep moving forward
  • Consistent with progress (i.e.: finish book, choose property manager)

Tip #4—Focus on the activity, NOT the outcome

  • Analyze every deal and talk to everyone early on
  • Knowledge + practice = CONFIDENCE

Tip #5—Be consistent

  • Support network to keep on track (peers + expert)
  • Recognize and celebrate milestones

Tip #6—Commit to the outcome, not a timeline

  • Set deadlines for short-term goals under your control
  • Keep going no matter how long it takes, no other option
