Why Bad Presidents Create Good Opportunities
Hello Family, I hope everyone had a great week! I know this week was tough for many folks out there, depending on your political, but there’s always a bright side even when we experience negative outcomes. While the president will always have an impact on the direction of our country, they have zero control on your life or my life! Whether you like Trump or hate him, he is not going to save you, and he is not going to destroy your world! America was here before him and is going to be here after him, ready for another president to take his place in four years. So why am I writing this post? Because I’ve seen so many people out there distraught over the results of the election. I really want to remind folks that we must take full responsibility for our lives and our actions. When life challenges us, it’s an opportunity for us to grow. The biggest challenge I faced in my real estate career was on my second flip when I lost $200,000 of my investors capital. It was so hard to make that money back and repay my investors, but I found a way to do it little by little. Despite that challenge, the true blessing was that I learned so much about real estate, I learned an ton about myself, and I learned how to truly make money in business. If I had not suffered that loss, I would not have learned so much so fast. Don’t get me wrong, I would’ve preferred to have a mentor show me the way, but you know what they say “Hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, and weak men create hard times”. It’s a cycle that we can all see play out over the course of history. If you want anything bad enough and you’re willing to work for it, nothing will stop you from getting it! If we face hard times ahead, it will create an opportunity for us to dig deep, to be resilient, to become better so that we can become more than we are today! No matter what the president, the economy, or life throws at us, know that it’s an opportunity for you to become a greater version of yourself. Keep the faith and keep moving forward!
