Are You An Asset Or Liability To Your Su...

caution Have you ever thought of yourself as an asset?

Have there been times when you goofed and considered yourself a liability?

Today, I’m dishing out some tough love – you’re going to have to take a good, hard look at yourself…

Is your business stagnant or growing? What about you, as a person – are you learning, developing and growing?

Are you taking actions that are getting you closer to your goals or are do those goals seem further and further away?

Are you taking action despite your fears or are they holding you back?

Lots of questions, I know, but stay with me…

If you and your business are growing… if you’re taking steps toward your goals… if you’re taking the right action… you’re an asset.

If not, you’re a liability.

You have to be an asset. Simple as that. Because real estate investing and building your REI business require it.

But how?

I’ve got you covered… today we’re looking at the 4 core areas of your business – that when done correctly – will make you an asset.

#1 Education

You’re an asset if…

You read helpful, relevant, informative blogs, articles, papers, books – on a regular basis
You are committed to “Constant And Never-ending Improvement” (CANI)
You are always learning – from your experiences, people you meet and the fail-forward mistakes you’ll inevitably make along the way
You take massive action
You realize that the actual learning of this business comes from taking action… not from a course or seminar

#2 Language

You’re an asset if…

You use positive language to speak confidently about yourself, your skills, your business and your future
You never say “I can’t” but instead ask “How can I?”
You are confident in proclaiming that you will do anything and everything you set your mind to
You avoid useless and weak words like “try” or “wish”

#3 Planning

You’re an asset if…

You follow this motto: “He who fails to plan, plans to fail.”
You know that with a strong enough “why,” the “how I do this business” will figure itself out even if you’re not quite sure how to do it just yet
You are flexible and not afraid of changing plans as you go
You do the best you can with what you have
You have goals and know what you want your business to be – and you have the written plans to implement it all

#4 Network

You’re an asset if…

You foster existing relationships and actively seek out and build new ones
You put yourself out there through small business associations, REIAs, Rotary, Chambers of Commerce and BNI
You are always meeting new people – no matter if you hate doing it
You know that your network is a giant piece of your business
You surround yourself with positive, driven people

So, let me ask you again…

Are you an asset or liability to your success?

All it takes is one decision – right now – to change from a liability to an asset…

Using these 4 core areas, decide here and now to get more educated, speak the language of success, plan your goals and future, and build a strong network.

“Where failure is experienced, it is the individual, not the method, which has failed. If you try and fail, make another effort, and still another, until you succeed.”
~Napoleon Hill, Think and Grow Rich

When you are an asset to your business – and you make that effort repeatedly, you’ll reach the ultimate, singular result: Your success.
