You and I seek the motivation to achieve our real estate investing dreams from a variety of sources. It might be the memory of a treasured teacher who made a profound difference in our lives — or it could be a life-changing event that happened years ago.

I was inspired and touched recently by a short video that demonstrated the importance of never giving up. In this challenging real estate investing market, it’s easy to walk away before even getting your feet wet, convinced that phenomenal wealth and rags to riches stories always happen to someone else, somewhere else, at another time.

Somewhere, there’s a single mom raising a couple of kids because her husband checked out of the marriage when the going got tough. There is also a grief stricken man somewhere trying to find the strength to go on without his wife who was snatched suddenly from his life in a tragic accident.

These people manage to find the strength to pick up the shattered pieces of their lives and start living again. Slowly, piece by broken piece, they somehow summon the strength to once again smile, plan for the future, and become more optimistic that their hopes and dreams will become reality — even if their plans were altered by conditions beyond their control.

You’re a real estate investor.

Compared to some of the challenges that millions of others have successfully overcome, figuring out how to come to terms with a motivated seller is inconsequential. To you, however, it’s important. At times like these it’s important that you remember your commitment to continue trying even in the face of adversity.

You’ll hear the word “no” a lot more than you’ll hear the word “yes” — especially when you’re first getting started as a real estate investor. If your hopes and dreams are derailed by verbal opposition to what you’re trying to do, what will you do when you’re faced with a physical challenge — or even a bruised relationship? If you turn tail and run every time things in your life go awry, all anyone will ever see of you is your backside.

To reach your dreams, you have to stop in your tracks, turn, and fight for what you want. While it won’t be handed to you on a silver platter, you can overcome any challenge you face.

If you can’t think of an inspiring reason to dig in your heels and keep trying to succeed as a real estate investor, then check out this short video I saw recently. It’s about a man who loves life, kids, and golf. He’s not a real estate investor, but he does demonstrate the importance of never giving up. You can watch it by following this link to www.wimp.com/trueheart and then tell me how many times you can handle hearing the word “no” before giving up on your real estate investing dreams and walking away empty handed.

I’m guessing there isn’t a number high enough…

Blessings!
