Something I Can Answer
I’ll be answering two questions asked by a BTB subscriber. Have a question you want me to answer? Reply to this text with your question!
Question: "How do I measure progress beyond traditional markers like success or wealth?”
Well, one thing we do within the BetterLife Tribe that I've been doing in my personal life for a long time is I just track my lead measures and I gamify it. When I say lead measures, I mean, the actions that should give me a better life that I've defined. So lead measures would be dates with my wife, going to the gym, all that stuff. So those are things I track and so then at the end of the week, I add them up and for like a perfect week would be a 42 for me. So if I get a 15 this week and next week I get 31, that's obviously a marked improvement. So I measure progress by gamifying my actions.
Question: "Where should I begin when it comes to raising capital?”
By becoming incredibly savvy and talented at knowing how to find a deal. You shouldn't be raising money until you've until you are an expert at finding deals.
Something I Recommend
I was always envious of the people who are “ON” 100% of the time. The people who don’t deal with low motivation, doubt, fear of failure, or those endless days of thinking your whole entrepreneurial journey is about to blow up in your face. These people were running circles around me in business and real estate and when I finally figured out what they had that I didn’t – It all made sense.
These people were using a Mindset Coach to keep their eye on the prize and expose them to a higher level of thinking every single day. So when I went to find one of these coaches specifically for real estate investors, all roads lead to Jason Drees. Jason has been coaching me for nearly a decade at this point and has supported my growth from a small time investor to someone with nearly $1B worth of assets under management.
If you’re looking for an edge to accelerate your growth, talk to Jason. You can get a FREE coaching session through this link.
For my health-conscious friends (or those trying to be healthier), I’ve been using MyBodyTutor for years for accountability on my fitness and diet. These guys assign you a coach to hold you accountable, track your food, suggest exercises etc. You can check them out here.
