Not going to lie, my whole mindset changed this year.
I really look and feel like a completely different person from the first half of 2020, to the second half of the year.
The first half I was in a bad place.
I was overthinking everything,
I wasnβt working,
I slacked on real estate.
and I hurt a lot of important people in my life. It felt like I lost the person I knew I was.
Second half of the year, things really started changing.
I took time to mentally be by myself. I always heard about how important having a good mindset was, I neglected mine so much that it manifested so much negative things about myself to come out. I needed to work on myself internally before anything external could change.
I asked for help financially. Iβm prideful, I hate asking anyone or anything for help. But with the pandemic and not being able to do my fallback jobs, I went on unemployment and applied for the EIDL grant. The money was good, but I didnβt just blow it all on random stuff like a lot of people did, I used this money to pay for necessities and invest in myself.
I got an actual job. I never like working for someone else, I have that entrepreneurial spirit that I rather work 80 hours for myself than 40 for someone else. But if I wanted to scale up my business, I needed capital. So I took an overnight job and have been reinvesting part of every paycheck towards my real estate expenses.
I actually took this business seriously. When I first got my license, I was doing the bare minimum. I didnβt take it as seriously as I should have, and my results reflected my work. I invested in coaching, learning how to sell, learning how to utilize social media for my business, and have spent everyday since trying to get 1% better.
I have nothing to brag and boast about. This post isnβt about all that. But I gotta give myself a pat on the back for the progress Iβve made thus far.
