As I said, today we're going to talk about the power that comes into your life from just getting started a thousand years ago, Lao Tzu, the Chinese philosopher said the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Dr. Martin Luther King said take that first step in faith and the next step will be revealed.

It seems like such simple advice just get going and things will work themselves out from there, but it's not always easy with fear or overthinking or negative self talk or maybe even a combination of all three get in your way.

But once you do push through those obstacles and take that first step, you're going to be amazed at how quickly things fall into place and then literally explode after that. I've seen it time and time again with my warriors, my coaching mentorship students, you know, they struggle for maybe six to eight months or even a year to get that first deal.

And it's the hardest deal. It's the most stressful. It typically takes the longest. Once they close on that first deal, the next thing I know is they have three or four deals closed. And I'm like, what just happened?

So let me ask you, what are some things that keep you from taking that first step? Well, it could be that you don't have definite goals, having, you know, a crystal clear vision of what you want and what you want to achieve is crucial to your success.

You have to begin with the end of mind. You have to create a burning desire. And how can you begin with when the ends foggy and out of focus?

So to combat this, get rock solid on your goals and your ultimate desired outcomes, write them down, revisit them daily.

By having your goals so clear that you can see them in your mind's eye and visualize having attained them, taking that first critical step is really not nearly as hard.

You could also be suffering from analysis paralysis. This is a common problem that happens when someone just has to know every little detail and check off every little box and see that complete picture before they make their first move or any move for that matter. They get frozen by the details.

And you know who you are, right? Now to overcome this, you need to trust the process. Like any other goal, someone has likely done it before you and there's a process that works.

It certainly applies to multifamily real estate. Of course in that space we have the process. So then you just need to trust and have faith that your goals will be achieved when you take massive freaking action.

Of course there are going to be corrections along the way and that's natural. But don't let the perceived perfect first step get in the way of the great first step.

Finally, you may be telling yourself the wrong stories. All of us have stories we tell ourselves, many of which prevent us from taking action. Things like, you know, I'm too young or I'm too old or I'm not smart enough or I'm not analytical enough or I don't have enough money on and on.

And the only thing holding you back from your goals is likely the story you keep telling yourself is to why you can't achieve it.

Here's my advice. Change your story. When you change your story, you change your life. Start telling yourself why your goals are inevitable with massive action and total focus.

Frankly, there's no goal on earth. You can't conquer. Take that all important first step. Break through doubt and fear and once you break through the floodgates will open and success frankly is all but inevitable.

Remember that example of my warriors when they buy their first deal to date my warriors now almost 46,000 units and I believe in coaching a few years. It's amazing how things explode once people look going.
