I am 70 going on 50.
This is most important because it gets right to bottom line about my mind set. I have been through a 100 roller coasters of business success and failures and of health excellence and nightmares. I have lived adversity and ruin without being devastated. I have known unparalleled joy and near death experiences that only an extreme anxiety attack can so successfully do. Anxiety attacks to the novice, convinces one he or she is experiencing a heart attack- one that feels fatal. You fall down to the floor watching your entire life fly by.
Back in 2002 - I did not just lose my business - but what I didn’t fully comprehend back then is that I had lost myself. I have known and continue too- life’s greatest gift - Love.
Love - our greatest weapon against all that goes wrong in our lives.
I have experienced a 100 life time stories to tell. If I have had descended any further in my abyss- I would not be here writing this.
At 68 I started to come roaring back financially and personally. I am without a doubt - the example of what is the best and worst of living. I am the supreme example of “keep going“ when most days one cannot even get out of bed.
Above it all - my perseverance has kept me alive long enough to reap the abundance of opportunities. Being a “Jackhammer“ , living and practicing the Jackhammer Effect has made the ultimate difference in my life.
Despite struggling to get out of bed in the morning - I kept going to as many network events I could and meeting as many young entrepreneurs I could. After 16 years and attending hundreds of events, I met a young man building a growing real estate business. He purchased off market apartment buildings. He needed more money to fuel his growth and with no real estate experience - I jumped into the challenge. I had everything to gain and nothing to loose.
I found him $10 million in private funding. Soon - he needed help to find more off market properties within 1 year. I leveraged a lifetime of skills and experience and successfully found him three off market properties. In 3.5 years - I have grown the one investor to almost 70 investors and responsible for almost $40 million in off market properties for my investors.
In addition - I wrote my first business book and started my first podcast. I also help major US companies find strategic partners. One thing I always promised myself that if I did get a second chance - I would make it my business to share with as many people as I could. Not to be braggadocios but to declare with no uncertainty as a real example:
If I can do it - YOU can do it
Whether you're 70 or 17 - treat everyday as a gift not knowing how long your health will allow you to do whatever you dreams push you to do. Everything unfortunately breaks down. Everything.
