Hey Moguls, Patrick Riddle here…and I’m just gonna say it – this may rub you the wrong way, but it's something you need to hear.
Ok, here goes...
I'm sick and tired of all the finger pointing, blaming, and complaining that I hear from people who haven't seen the success they desire in real estate yet.
There is NO product, course, training program, webinar, system, guru, coaching program, mentor, pill, magic bullet, or ANYTHING that will "make" you successful.
Anything in life that's worthwhile requires hard work. There is NO way around this. Even though many things that myself and other gurus teach are simple when you get down to it... that doesn't mean they're easy.
I've worked my a** off for everything in my life.
Do you want success? ... I mean, do you REALLY want it?
OK then...
-
YOU have to hustle.
-
YOU must be persistent.
-
YOU have to be relentless.
-
YOU better stop complaining and blaming.
-
YOU have to confront the inevitable obstacle with resolve.
-
YOU gotta get over your FEARS and take massive action!
-
YOU need to stop buying stuff if you already have 18 other courses on your shelf collecting dust!
-
YOU should STOP saying "it doesn't work"... because the most probable reality is that YOU didn't work it. (And yes, we both know there are courses and programs out there that suck... but the way I look at it is, I've learned something from every single educational thing I've ever studied.)
-
YOU should NEVER buy a course if you're mindset is, "Well, if I don't get the results, I'll just return it."
Why?
... because that’s a great recipe for failure.
Consider This
If most people approached learning how to walk the same way they approached real estate investing, they'd be crawling around on their knees their entire life cursing the minority of walkers saying they just got lucky and that their success was circumstantial.
In my view, that’s just giving “luck” a bad name.
The fact is – there is no LUCK except the LUCK you make for yourself. You gotta make it happen come hell or high water.
As a child, you hadn’t already accepted the bald-face lie of the failure mindset…
When you fell down, you didn’t blame the ground, or your shoes, or whoever tried to teach you how to walk... YOU GOT UP, BRUSHED YOURSELF OFF AND KEPT TRYING AGAIN AND AGAIN UNTIL YOU SUCCEEDED!
... and that my friend is when you find moments of success. With practice, those moments become habits and those habits become YOU.
Here's the ONLY thing you can count on:
-
YOU will experience hardship.
-
YOU will experience disappointment.
... but the difference between someone who succeeds and someone who fails miserably is simply this how YOU respond to hardship and disappointment.
The Good News
What drives a boat? The wake or the motor?
Sadly for most people, the wake drives the boat.
In other words, the past dictates your every thought and action.
FORGET ABOUT THE PAST! IT'S THE PAST!!
It doesn't matter what you've done or not done. It doesn't matter what anyone has told you that you can or can't do. It doesn't matter where you're at right now...
Heck, not that long ago, my entire business came crashing down on me... almost every bad thing that can happen in real estate did... from foreclosure to lawsuits, judgments, you name it!
Did I sit around and cry about it?
Actually, yeah I did... for a few minutes. Then I got off my butt, reformulated a plan, and took action.
Look, I'm here to tell you... you can do ANYTHING you set your mind to – when you approach it with the right attitude and action plan.
Too many people think success is all about tactics and systems that do everything for you.
Sorry to break this to you... but NOTHING will ever guarantee your success... unless YOU do.
I REPEAT...
NOTHING WILL EVER GUARANTEE YOUR SUCCESS UNLESS YOU DO!

Are you with me on this one? I’d love to hear your thoughts and what’s on your mind in the comments section below.
Stop pointing the finger and blaming everyone else for your failures or lack of success.
Man up and acknowledge that YOU are responsible for your success.
Know that success doesn’t come easily; it requires hard work.
Take action by crafting a plan and making things happen.
Patrick Riddle
has been investing in real estate ever since he got the bug in college at Clemson University and - to his parents dismay - dropped out of college to dive full-time into real estate at the age of 22 with a couple friends/partners from school.
The first few deals were rough for them, mainly using their own cash, credit, and hard money loans. But, soon he found out that was a rough and unsustainable way to build a real estate business.
After "on the job" learning through the school of hard knocks at first, he found the key that helped their company get deals done more quickly, with higher profit, less risk, without having to go to banks or use their own cash.
Fast forward to today, their company has closed over 130 real estate transactions and has put over $6 million in private money into their own transactions.
