How many times?

How many times are you willing to keep trying until you have achieved your desired result. The limit for most people is 3 or 4 times. I just listened to an interview that Tim Ferriss did with Sir James Dyson on his podcast and he failed 5,126 times with his vacuum prototype before achieving his desired result.

We don’t give up when teaching our children to walk or talk. Yet we give up so easily when it comes to ourselves. People give up trying to manage their money, they give up on relationships, they give up trying to get fit or loose weight and they give up on trying to live a better life.

Latley I am running onto people giving up when it comes to buying a home in this hot real estate market. In my almost 20 years of doing this I have never seen so many properties going for well above list price. However there are those people who persist and end up succeeding after sometimes 10,20 or 30 offers. The inventory is not static so what is listed today will be replaced by new properties next week. So please keep trying and you will get there.

Today I am thankful for the ability and the patience to keep persisting until I have succeeded, realizing that there is joy in the journey and not just the destination and having the flexibility and the knowledge and pay attention to what’s working and what isn’t. Be persistant.

“Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan Press On! has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.”
― Calvin Coolidge
