Your Choice be a VICTOR or the VICTIM

Does that seem impossible to you?

If you answered VICTIM you choose to be one. Yuppers, I said choose! Being a VICTOR is a better choice. Here are a few differences. VICTOR'S never give up. they have bad days, bad weeks and even streaks of bad months. The big difference is they never-ever give up. They continue to learn from mistakes and adversity. Out of every situation, no matter how bad, there are lessons to learn. Victor's analyse each adversity and ask themselves..."what have I learned from this?" The lessons learned teach us to try harder or get more focused.

The reason people fail is that they accept failure and feel sorry for themselves. The choose to be the VICTIM of the circumstances. The good news is we don't have to accept failure as negative. Donald Trump has been bankrupt several times but he always comes back. So have many successful people. They simply learn from their mistakes and move on. Sometimes the bad outcome isn't a mistake. It's the market or a flawed business model. It's not anyone's fault. It's simply a bad outcome. Shake it off, learn from it and keep trying.

VICTOR'S never-ever accept failure they learn huge lessons from it and they keep trying. We can all do that. It's our god given right to succeed in whatever we choose to do.

Napoleon Hill said it best. "What ever we concieve and believe we can achieve." I'll add to that by saying we should never-ever concieve and believe we can't achieve because if we do we will!

Commercial Real Estate News

TANGO International chooses Tucson, AZ as world headquarters. I sold them a building that is perfect for these world travelers. During the negotiations and the final closing I was able to communicate with them while they were in Panama, Italy, Zimbabwe, Sudan, Europe, and a few places I can't spell. They ROCK!
