Sitting all alone in my steel blue metallic 2002 BMW 325i… I was mesmerized. My face was on fire with goosebumps as she sang to me.
“I’m on the edge of glory
And I’m hanging on a moment of truth
Out on the edge of glory
And I’m hanging on a moment with you
I’m on the edge, the edge, the edge
The edge, the edge, the edge, the edge”
That was the day I became a fan of Lady Gaga. Up until that moment I never really listened to a Lady Gaga song, I thought of her as a sideshow circus act.
But on that day back in 2011, as I sat alone in the Target parking lot chomping down a sausage and egg McMuffin, as I sat slurping down a supersized diet Coke, on that day on the Howard Stern show Lady Gaga captured my attention and made a believer out of me.
And today I’ll make a believer out of you.
Wherever you are in your life today, I know for a fact that you want more, you want better, you want a lifestyle of glory, you want a lovable business, you want a non booty smooching way to earn dolla billz that doesn’t include telemarketing and trespassing.
You want a body that doesn’t accidentally get harpooned by passing fishermen.
You want a marriage that isn’t dead as a doornail. You want friends that inspire you, not turkeys that drag you down.
But before you can have any of this… you must believe in yourself. I cannot believe in you more than you believe in yourself.
I remember back when I was first building my real estate team. For some dum dum reason I just assumed that everyone was as motivated as me.
Wrong!
Fake news!
Most all people are Regs, and regs are incapable of living the Good Life.
“Well hey Bart, that’s a little harsh don’t ya think?”
Yes, the truth can be painful.
When I began to realize that most people live lives of quiet desperation I came up with my motto which said, “Give me anyone off the street that has reasonable intelligence, connectability, and desire… and I can have them at six figure per year in less than three years… anyone!!”
Reasonable intelligence. Hmm?? Sounds like most everyone would fit into this category, right? Wrong!!!
If you learned anything during the pandemic and the Presidential election… it is that most people do not possess reasonable intelligence.
Connectability, which I define as having the ability to connect with people through genuine rapport.
I always preach to my agents that your one and only Mission with buyers and sellers is rapport. Build genuine rapport, then show them your expertise, and then perform at the highest level. Easy peasy, but first and foremost is rapport.
Desire, ahhh… the most elusive of them all.
So few people possess real desire.
For instance, if you ask anyone off the street how much money they would need in the bank in order to quit their dopey slave based job… almost all of them would say a million bucks.
However, with a straight face, if you then asked them what they’d do with a million bucks… they’d start yelling out things like,
“I’d buy a torch red C8 Corvette, a Rolex watch, maybe get a gallon of botox and flappy duck lips,”
Because the truth is, most people don’t want a million bucks, they want to spend a million bucks.
For those of us that become millionaires, we want a million dollars because of freedom and peace of mind, not because of fancy cars and expensive watches.
If you ever want to read an amazing book on this subject, read Thomas Stanley’s book, The Millionaire Next Door. That book changed my mindset completely when it came to being a millionaire.
That book is one of the reasons I still drive the GRFM, the get rich first mobile, the 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee.
