How does a train travel?

#Innovator of the week Yaron Yitzhak #Post 3
Try to imagine the entrepreneurial route as a moving train, one with countless ups and downs, twists and turns, suddenly there is no reception on the phone and no internet, and #&FU I can't send a super important email and now the train is also stuck in the middle of nowhere between the mountains of Jerusalem waiting for another train to drag us to the nearest station (true story).
So we started traveling and the final destination is the goal we set for ourselves, and the road is full of ups and downs, countless bumps, and the feeling is working overtime, such that if we were paid for these hours, we would no longer need the profits from real estate - would we be settled?
So just as the train needs electricity/coal in order to start a journey and to persist in the journey, we as entrepreneurs have a great need and importance for the right "mindset", one that will motivate us to action and one that will always push us forward and not allow us to despair or be washed away by the current.
As I already mentioned, money, business or real estate didn't really interest me until about 5 years ago, until the token fell to me - money is a means, not the goal.
But a means for what? What is the goal? For me it was leaving a job I didn't like and buying more time for myself so that I could do more of what I really like - spend time with my family, sports, Capoeira, and did I already say that?
So I started researching and realized that my options are, starting or joining some business, investments in the capital market or real estate, I am interested in real estate.
I spent hours, days and whole months listening to podcasts while working, reading lots of books in the evenings and watching quite a few YouTube videos.
Day by day I felt that I wanted it more and more until I finally decided to sign up for an American real estate course on the Internet that mainly dealt with WHOLESALING.
The course was amazing, and the (American) lecturer, who is a real estate entrepreneur and a Holsler himself, was completely engrossing and I learned in a way I never learned at the university either.
As I said, the course dealt with Holsling and many marketing and advertising strategies that are an integral part of the Holsling world, but also on the subject of consciousness and how to train it (later I will share with you various exercises that I adopted myself).
It was very interesting for me and I finished the course with a lot of theoretical knowledge and with sky high motivation but I still didn't jump into the water, something was missing, I still didn't understand how to do real estate in the United States from the country.
So I signed up for another course, this time an Israeli blue and white course (but also with touches of red and stars) at Project X and more importantly than the knowledge, I got the push I needed and jumped into the water.
So it turned out that I "worked" on myself for almost a whole year, trained my brain and explained to it that real estate is what I want to do and that I am already ready and ripe for it.
So now the train is already moving, and we are making several real estate transactions a week, but the road is still long and full of bumps, mudslides and a lot of emotions as befits any real estate business in general.
So how do you manage the trip?
Here are some tips on how to preserve the ??? that burns inside:
1. Be sure to celebrate successes - the matter of rituals is very important even if you are complete atheists.
2. Every morning remind yourself what you are thankful for in your life - you will be surprised by the amount of things you are thankful for. Gratitude puts us in proportion and charges us with positive energies even and especially when it's difficult.
3. The "why" is more important than the "how" - try to understand with yourself what the deep reason is that you do what you do.
Especially in difficulty and desperation (especially emotional) try to remind yourself why you are doing this.
4. Give yourself half an hour/hour a day to do something that makes you feel good and try to devote yourself to an experience (sports, yoga, meditation, walking the dog, etc.) that is yours.
5. Volunteering/helping others is an excellent load for the soul.
As mentioned, the matter of consciousness requires daily training, so here are some exercises that helped me and still do.
Some will feel that the exercises are a bit clichéd, but hey, here too, you fake it, until you make it
# Create a vision board for you - one that will remind you every day of all the good things in your life, your ambitions and the reason for all the hard work and sometimes the "headache" as well.
On the board, attach pictures of the important people in your life, of places you would like to be, of possessions (house, car, etc.) you would like to have, words with a strong meaning in your eyes and in short everything that will give you the motivation you need.
Hang the picture in a place where you won't miss it every day (desk in the office, in the bedroom, etc.).
# Take an hour with yourself, quietly, and prepare a list in which you note all the things in your life for which you are grateful. This list is only for you, therefore, apart from dear people in your life, love, health and more, don't be shy to write even if you are thankful for material things like a house, a car or even an expensive watch, a trip you took in the past or everything you are really thankful for - you must be Be honest with yourself.
Read this list out loud to yourself every morning when you wake up.
# Take another hour in a quiet room, and try to write honestly, and flow with me yes? The eulogy someone close to you would say about you as you are today, on the unexpected day - not on us, tapu, hamsa, onion.
This is an exercise that helps us try to see ourselves from other eyes. He taught me a lot.
So far the subject of motivation and mindset, in the following posts I will try to share and explain a bit of my experience about the world of WHOLESALING, the challenges alongside the reward, why I chose it and how managers work remotely and with substantial cultural gaps.
Thank you very much for listening and for all the messages and the warm encouragement also privately.
Until the next post?
In the pictures - I work as a microbiologist in a laboratory and dream of real estate and some other pictures of sages from whom I learned a lot.
