OK this one has nothing to do with real estate. If you know me, or have looked around on this site you know that I am a big fan of TED.com. This video, from a TED Conference, displays how seemingly random samples of music can mesh as one cohesive musical piece. Watch this video and turn up your speakers. Its just amazing.
ALSO – don’t read the bottom half of this article until you watch the video
Ok, so how did you like it? Yeah, pretty amazing. I knew before I watched it that it was going to be good but I didn’t think it was going to be that moving. For me it summed up what it takes to be a successful entrepreneur. Ok… I fibbed; this is about real estate. Qi Zang’s organ play is very similar to the emotional roller coaster we go through running a business and investing in real estate.
There are going to be ups, and there are going to be downs. When a deal comes together you are going to drive home and feel like you just conquered the world, then a deal that you have worked very hard on is going to fall apart and you are going to feel like your life is over. You must remain in control of your emotions. This will build your emotional intelligence.
Over time this will become easier to do, but in the short term just remember that many things will happen in your entrepreneurial journey. Be prepared mentally for the good and bad times. Don’t live up the good times too much don’t let the bad time discourage you. Always keep your mind on your goals.
This should be a rule to live by for new investors and a reminder to myself and the experienced entrepreneurs out there. We can’t let our decisions be dictated by our emotions.
