Hey, what’s up, fellow investors? This is John Payne coming at you again from the REI Wealth Academy tribe. Going along the same thing again and again for the big why. And there are just little elements that I think are just so critical and so key as you’re thinking through the process of sitting down to do your why. To really dig down deep and get connected kind of emotionally overall.
But I want you to think about something, that it’s not just an emotion. You’re not just going to happen to have the emotion. You’re going to have to do this every day. This is something that is a daily discipline that you’re going to have keep putting back in front of you. In order for your subconscious, in order for your mind to truly start keying into the person that you’re becoming, when you become the person that is actively doing the things you need to do to achieve your big why, your big why is going to become you.
Starting out sometimes, it’s just the motivation that starts you out. That’s why when you have a New Year’s resolution, like we had this past January, for a lot of people, they’re going to burned out probably by the end of January, if not by the end of March, for sure. And that’s the majority of people. We’re trying to move beyond that. Not just be the majority of people, but really have that big why and move from just a motive factor, a motivation, into an inspiration for us.
And that inspiration can be a positive thing that we’re on our way actually achieving it. It could also be the fear of something else that’s driving it. And it really just is dependent on you. That’s what I want you to think about, is that it has to be something put in front of you daily, to develop the daily discipline, and as you develop that discipline, it’s going to quickly become more and more who you are.
Because you are made up of the decisions that you currently make. Let’s reframe that and get very particular over the next few months and over this next year about putting that big why there.
The second thing I want to talk about is a changing why. As you become the person that you are, you have the tendency to plateau. So every time that’s you’ve grown, there’s always the tendency to kind of level off. This is something you need to be more aware of. Being active in the process of getting in touch with that kind of emotional side of you, you’re also going to become more aware of hitting those plateaus and knowing the next time that you need to go beyond what you’re currently doing and actually move to the next thing. The next big why that you might have.
It might be a driving factor you have for years and then it will change. We all go through seasons in our life, and so you want to be aware of that, as well. And it’s okay that even if your big why seems a little bit smaller in the short-term, that’s okay. If it’s enough to get you motivated and inspired to take action consistently now, that’s fine, but understand things will probably change. Actually they will change throughout your life. Something that I’ve had experience with, moving from different types of jobs or different types of entrepreneurship ventures myself, and onto this current one.
So with that, I’m going to be hitting up a couple more videos. Make sure you stay tuned to Real Estate Investors Wealth Academy Facebook page and www.reiwealthacademy.com.
