This month, I want to discuss imposter syndrome and how to overcome it. I believe this important for us to know both in our personal lives but also in our professional lives

First, I want to give a quick refresher regarding what self-esteem is;

I see it as being comprised of two mindsets held at the same time; loving myself unconditionally and doing the best I can.

Loving myself unconditionally;
This means holding myself in warm regard and having self-compassion for myself, irrespective of my shortcomings and screwups. I am a child of God. I have essence and worth just because I'm alive.

Do the best I can;

I believe that, as humans, we were designed to learn and grow, improve, change, and give, even if it is just a little bit each day. We typically feel better about ourselves if we are making progress toward a worthy goal or character trait.

When we love ourselves unconditionally, and incrementally learning, growing and giving, that is when we are most happy.

Imposter syndrome is the persistent inability to believe that one's success is deserved or has been legitimately achieved as a result of one's own efforts or skills.

In the last three years, I have felt imposter syndrome related to my martial arts practice, Jiu Jitsu. I am planning on doing another tournament before the end of March. I am nervous. How will I do? Will I get hurt? Will I embarrass myself?

At times, I have compared myself to more seasoned martial artists or thinking that I should be more effective or successful after three years doing jiu jitsu. When I start doing this, I start getting down on myself.

My Sensei (teacher), Roger has told me and others not to compare ourselves to other but instead the earlier version of ourselves. If we are growing, even incrementally, then we are on the right track.

I am working toward becoming a more seasoned and highly skilled martial artists. Why? Because I am doing it!

2 quick tips;

1) I ask myself, at times, who do I want to become as a as a human, as a man? When we have compelling answers regarding who we are becoming, we get inspired.

2) I compare myself to yesterday’s version of me, not to others. Do not compare yourself to others but instead to an earlier version of yourself. Focus on small steps forwards.

Carpe diem!

Growing up in Hyde Park, MA, I lived in a duplex with my siblings and my parents who also owned the house. My dad Angelo, moved from from Tamai, Italy to the Boston when he was 17. He dreamed of owning his own home. This was part of his American Dream.

I saw first hand, the pros and cons of being a landlord. Once I became an adult, I've developed a growing interest and passion about both real estate investing and property management. I've met both effective and ineffective property managers. I have seen what works and what doesn't work.

I am committed to building relationships with other investors, lenders and tradespeople inside the world of real estate investing.

I am passionate about buying and managing multi-unit properties and providing dignified housing options to my tenants who I call residents.

Since 2005, I've had experience either owning or co-owning several multi-unit properties. I am also active in MassLandlords, an educational and advocacy organization for landlords in MA.

In this monthly e-bulletin, I share experiences I've had along with resources related to my investing and property management experiences so as to help you the reader.

I use the three pronged strategy taught by both seasoned investors and educators Jake Stenziano and Gino Barbaro and who wrote Wheelbarrow Profits. Their website is jakeandgino.com

1) Buy Right
2) Finance Right
3) Manage Right

The following is an example of managing right;

Recently, at one of our properties, there was an empty apartment. As Property Manager, I was tasked with trying to find a suitable replacement.

I use a thoughtful and fair process that includes a point system that allows us to to fairly pick the the most qualified person(s). The aforementioned is a small success and step to be taken along my journey of successfully growing Tamai Properties.

The process was slow at times. However, the goal was to be thoughtful and fair In the end, the correct person was chosen. Anything worth doing well, large or small, requires effort and patience and perseverance.

Throughout 2022 and beyond, I will continue to seek out new opportunities by continuing to learn, build and strengthen relationships with lenders and partner and other investors.

I will do thoughtful property analysis, making offers when we believe the time is right. As a life long student of real estate investing and managing properties, I am, with the support of my loving wife, committed to growing and helping others when possible.

I would enjoy speaking with you and learn about what you are doing in the real estate space and find out whether or not I can be helpful to you. If interested, shoot me an email at [email protected] or call me at 617-981-1186
