There are many times in life we travel blindly without direction or spirit, both in our personal and professional lives. Last night I was reminded of this as I was watching the Cinderella Man based on the life of boxer Jimmy Braddock. I believe James (Jimmy) Braddock's, story can speak to many lives of real estate professionals as it has been difficult for many these past couple of years.
After falling professionally and having to adjust and make many sacrifices during the great depression he was given the opportunity to professionally rise again. This time however he did it with spirit and purpose and rose to the top.
At a news conference prior to one of his greatest fights of his life he was asked why did he agree to such a deadly fight (his opponent was supposidley deadly in the ring) he simply said, "I do it for Milk." He explained in the past when he fought for the glory and with no purpose but now he knows his purpose. Fueled by this purpose, training, focus and determination he was unstoppable and rose to the top.
I believe if we too apply these fundamentals to our foundations we will continue to rise to the top.
What is your real estate why? What is your motivating factor? If you don't know... find it, fuel it, and soar!
