Dean Graziosi Weekly Wisdom #196 - Olympic Style Success

I look at it not as just Olympic Style, but winning style... I see a lost as a building block to success. If you win all the time you never learn what you did to succeed. If you've loss some you learn what doesn't work. No great inventor ever succeed without encountering a loss or misstake. Athletes that were ridicured early in life, work on the skills to make themself great. Look at Michael Jordan in high school, he was cut from the team in his early years.

My gold is to learn as much about this business as I can. I would prefer to learn from other people misstakes, but that doesn't always happen. Your Blogs help keep us motivated and the DG Website, help us learn what works and doesn't work from other investors.

Love it all...

as usual these are so good i would not miss one. I cant wait to read the new book.

Dean,

There must be SO many of us here that can relate or resonate with this weekly msg! I know that I'm one, for sure!

I agree; everyone thought Phelps was 'washed-up', but he buckled down and went out in a "blaze of glory"!! One can only imagine how he must be feeling inside. To go out on top...man, what an accomplishment!!!

I found Gabby Douglas's (Gold Medal All Around Gymnast)story similarly inspiring. Spending all that time away from her home and family and wanting to throw the towel in things went sour. After prodding/coaxing from her sister, she re-energized herself/efforts and began training even harder! During the interview w/reporter after winning her individual Gold Medal; she was asked about the time when she wanted to give it all up, and how she persevered. She said "When things get tough; you have to try/train harder, push through the pain/mistakes, stay focused and keep your goals in sight. That's how champions are made"! Disclaimer: Quote is not verbatim. LOL! Such maturity; and she's ONLY 16 yrs old!!! This was such a strong message and REALLY hit home for me!

Me; I've been SO CLOSE, SO MANY TIMES, but haven't quite made it to the closing table! For example: Had to pull-out of last accepted offer due to serious structural issues found. Due diligence does pay off. However, I know without ANY doubt that closing is just around the corner. It's all up to me and I've come too far to turn back now! Like my neighbor Jen says......

Go hard, Die Empty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love it!
Tks Dean and God Bless,

Thank you deal for connecting important and news events to real estate.

Wonderful Words of Wisdom!!! Dean you are truly an amazing mentor! Your passion shows in all that you do for all. I don't know where you find the time, but thank you & thank you to your family for supporting you too! May God keep blessing you and to everyone reaching their goals.

One of your newbies,

We are in probably the worst economic time of my life right now and America won more medals than any other country, which is getting harder to do each olympics because information is so readily available to most of the world, and we really seemed to win a lot of team events. It seems like America really comes together when we need it the most. That's why I feel so blessed to be born in this great country. When are backs are against the wall thats when everyone is at there best. Don't be afraid to go out and get in over your head, its amazing what you can accomplish. As always Dean thanks for another great weekly wisdom!

Dean,

Great wisdom, as always. I can't wait to read your new book to see exactly what strategies you're using in the different areas of the country. Still working on getting that first deal to come together, never gonna give up. I
know in my heart I can and will do this.

Have a great and blessed week.

That "Big Book" looks interesting, I would like to have one. That's a good story about Phelps. Thanks Dean for another good blog.

Another great blog this week. Thank you for the return email. I feel like a real estate athlete. Set to close on my 3.6 acre. Three unit to rehab and rent and refinance. Hope to close this week. Very excited to continue my journey. thank you for the inspiration. I appreciate everything that you do. See you at the top

You are absolutely right, people are so quick to judge someone, but getting to the finish line takes lots of practice, patients, and a certain goal. Love this week, weekly widsom blog.

Thanks Dean

Can't wait to see how your making money and building a future in this market.

Hey Dean, I too watched the Summer Olympics this year. Your right what dedication, focus and sacrifice it takes to achieve those heights of accomplishment. So proud of them all!

Dean, you are our REI Gold Metal winner! You have accomplished great heights in the REI field personally but you also endeavor to teach us that same dedication, focus and achievment. For that I am truly grateful!

BECOMING A CHAMPION!

Anything Dean does is top notch. I'm a beginning investor (and I will be at the Edge Summit in August; even though I've not yet done any deals. I hope to meet Greg Murphy there because his style is what I'm currently trying to emulate) and being around enough successful people, I know that Dean and anyone I've met as his associates are the real deal.

I look forward to seeing this book.

Make it a great day all, and again-
Thanks Dean!

Inspiration that's what iI get from this Dean always go to hear from you on are voyage to a better life.

To be honest i cant wait to get a hold of that book. For knowledge purposes!
Olympics WAS AWESOME!

Most of the names mentioned are single compediters,sure they have trainers, mentors,etc... But when the gun sounds it's in their selves against all others.
Like your team around DG, all the similer couches' info, different technics,but its you that decides to run or sit. thank you for always reasoning close to real life.Love it
Enjoy & Until

Hi Dean,
Even great athletes like Michael Phelps cant win them all. As in Real estate, if we lose on a deal we put the negative thoughts out of mind and pump ourselves up to get the next one.
We are Winners.
Success to all!

Hey Dean,
My husband an I are going to give 'your way' a try. I love watching your talks and learning about all your adventure-ups an downs, and we want to do this so we can provide for our famlies. My husband is a contractor and he an I do the work-whatever that takes-time, effort, pain. We need to get on a differant path before it is too late-I have diabetes '43yrs&counting' & it takes $500 a month just for me to live. So I HAVE GOT TO REACH FOR THE GOLD BECAUSE WE HAVE PUT HARD WORK IN AND DESERVE IT- just have to change our exersise rutine $ get help in the areas we need to improve in! Can we count on you to help get us ready for compitition?
Pep Us Up-Let's Get To It !!

Hi Dean
What would Real Estate be worth if the dollar was devalued? I was thinking about this with all the mess in europe and the mess were still in here in the states. Can you give me your input on this.

That book sounds like an amazing resource. How is it possible that every week you are so motivated? It motivates me, and somehow every week applies exactly to what I am actually going through.
All I can say is Thank You.

Hi my name is Amer,can any one help mme out with this.

Seriously, don't let other people tell you that you can't make money in real estate. I'm about to make $12,000 on my first deal. My second bid is going out sometime this week and it has the potential for much much more that this first deal. I will only discuss real estate with those people that I know are supportive. For everyone else who I know will give me negative opinions, I simply don't discuss it. Positive reinforcement is so very helpful.

This was a Golden message. I try not missing your weekly wisdoms, but this one gave goose bumps!
All I could say is WOW! WOW!

Thank you again, for the inspirational message.

Your message was a really good one Dean. It does take a lot of work and dedication to accomplish something. But one thing you didn't mention was that behind each and every athelete that succeeds there was someone who encouraged, trained, pushed and insisted on them doing their best, teaching them all the tricks. That person for us is you. Your weekly wisdom is why I keep trying and is why I know I will succeed one day. You are our coach and mentor. Thank you

Yes! That's the cycle. No quitting or sulking after the "failure". If you have put in the time, you know to keep pushing to success. Nice analogy this week Dean.

Did this happen my first year? No. My second? No.
Year three is victory!

HI Dean,
Than ks again for your unwavering encouragement. I have finally gotten my wife to start taking me more seriously with my real estate ideas and she is getting caught up in it as well. I agree with you about Micheal phelps was doing when everyone else was hanging out. He was training , following his dream, and that is what I am doing now.
Thanks again.
john

Love to your encouragement gives me hope for the future which is NOW!!!!!!!!! THANKS DEAN

Duane

Thanks Dean: I watched some of the olympics. Job well done. Cant wait until your book comes out. Thanks for all you do for everyone. Great blogs every week. Thanks Carol In Texas

One thing about the Olympics is that it takes allot of training to achieve success as well as dedication and sacrifice. We must NEVER stop training (learning and acquiring knowledge)!

Thanks Dean for providing everything we need to train and achieve!

GREAT MOTIVATION!
