![]() I’ve seen so many of people’s concerns in realty come true: losing a lot of money, deals falling through and the tenants destroying the home. First-timers and experts always have concerns failure and success are always on the table. My proficiency is in real estate investing and entrepreneurship, so I am well aware how overwhelming it can be. The big picture is never really that big. ![]() You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.” It’s far less overwhelming if you minimize everything to the core. A quote from Martin Luther King that has always stayed with me is: “Take the first step in faith. ![]() Go outside of your comfort level as much as you can, the further you head out the more progress you will make. If the concept of bursting through head first is too daunting, you can analyze the situation while proceeding just a little bit at a time. If you aren’t completely comfortable, I strongly suggest baby steps. If you want to prosper and develop, you need to take a leap of faith. No matter what happens it will always be a learning experience. The outcome might not always be in your favour, it’s very likely it will be. Think back on all of your achievements, you either dove in or did your best to minimize the risk. Your mindset is what holds you back from reaching beyond your current self. Whether it be major or minor, there’s always that little speck of fear that impedes your goals. If you want to see past your means of a standard life you must push through. “Everything you want in life is on the other side of fear.” All things new and exciting will present themselves with the actions you take. I interviewed public speaker, entrepreneur and CEO Alfonso Cuadra a while back and he said something that stuck with me. Don’t forget that every successful person and titan of industry is a human being just like you. Beyoncé, Elon Musk and Kobe Bryant all did great things because they didn’t hesitate. They took a leap of faith because they knew they could do it, they believed in themselves. Do you think they waited until every little thing was set up for their success? Not at all. Look at any person who has accomplished great things. You need to be aware that something can go wrong but you can eliminate the majority of the negative factors with strong research and heavy preparedness. A leap of faith needs to be a calculated risk. There is always someone who has done exactly or similar to what you’ve done, don’t be afraid to ask how they got through that. I could never go into anything blind and I would suggest that anyone avoid that as well it just seems naive to me. I always think back on how glad I am to be able to push through that. There was always a minute amount in the back of my head trying to pull me away from this, but I proceeded anyway. I didn’t let it fester, I understood all the aspects I could to settle this. When I first started delving into real estate investing, I had that uncomfortable uneasiness dance in my gut. ![]() Trust in yourself, be confident in what you can do. Every moment you wait is another moment where you aren’t a step closer to reaching your goals. Being cautious is just a part of life, you must overcome this to get what you want. Fear is only in your head, it’s a concept that only hinders your mind if you let it. A leap of faith can do seemingly infinite things for us. We have the ability to accomplish so much, but we are generally what’s standing in our own way.
