I have been talking to so many students who are having success in their business and they don't even realize it! So, I decided to share my thoughts on success with you all. I’ve been in the RE business and Investing for a while now as a coach/mentor and investor. People focus too much on getting deals done, they think that is SUCCESS. Well it is, but, they forget to see all the other items that are also success in their business, such as finding buyers, understanding a concept or strategy, figuring out the right way to talk to people, etc….. You get the idea. We need to focus on everything we do in our business as a success as long as it is moving you forward and you are learning. That’s Success! Don’t feel that getting the paycheck is the only way to achieve success. Right now most of us are facing downtime in the market, my suggestion is to work on your business this week and relax, take a step back and look at how you can improve yourself for the next year. Few things I feel are important to work on for your future success.
1. Attitude: This is so important; I cannot stress to you how far a good attitude will take you in this business. Get rid of the negativity in your life because it affects your business. Use positive affirmations on a daily basis and build a visual dream board for yourself.
2. Focus: We all get busy and I know things get hectic sometimes but you need to remain focused. Set a schedule for yourself and follow it religiously. Cut out all the nonsense that does not contribute in a positive way in your business.
3. Clean-house: reorganize yourself and your business model, clean out all the activities, people and items that are just a waste of your time. Only concentrate on the items that can make you successful and bring value to your business.
4. Network: If you don’t understand this concept, then make it a point to learn how to do this one thing very well. I am a networking freak, and because of this I don’t have to work as hard to get deal done because my network is very vast and I can rely on it for anything I need.
5. Take Action: If you don’t take action on what you need to do then all the rest of it doesn’t matter. Some people are so afraid to take action, it amazes me. If you want it, go get it!!!!
Hope this little post helps you guys. Wishing you great SUCCESS in the coming year.

The most important thing is to take action! Do something - get moving and take action. Great advice Shah!

I just finished my last blog for 2011 before finding this thread. I wrote about perseverance and always moving forward. Finding a way to get a deal done or sharpening the skills that get the job done. It's not all about the money! Success comes when you accomplish things. I am a success, even if I haven't closed that elusive first deal yet, because I understand what I am doing, I've put it into action and know I am 1 step closer to a done deal. I've succeeded in 2 areas of this business. That's the key to success. Always moving forward.
Hope everyone else here understands their success as well.
Happy new year everybody!!!
