One of the biggest takeaways from a recent seminar I attended was to honor the struggle. Today I want to tell you exactly what that means and how you can do it too.
Today I wanted to go over something super interesting in regards to what it takes to get to the next level and reach your goals.
One of the things Brendon Burchard mentioned in this three-day seminar that I thought was so true to me and that I’ve shared with my team is his saying: “Honor the struggle.”
What that means is that the struggle that our team will have to get from 200 to 350 transactions is the same as the struggle that I went through to get from 100 to 200 transactions, and from 50 to 100. The struggle of the growth and process to move from one goal to the next ends up taking double the work each time you move onto the next goal.
I will tell you that anything you want to do is going to be ten times harder than you thought, and I don’t say that in a negative way. I say that to motivate and excite you, because you’ll already know better than your colleagues that when you do ten times the work, you’ll be 100 times more successful. This is because you’re doing more, you’re committed more, and you’re accepting more of what comes your way and breaking through it.
Other people who don’t honor the struggle don’t do the same, and stop progressing, and end up doing just enough to support their lives. I will tell you this: honor the struggle. Honor the work, and know that it’s going to take time and energy to progress. If you’re only doing one deal a month, challenge yourself and do two. If you’re doing two, work harder and do three.

I know what it takes; I’ve been in that work.

I know what it takes—I’ve been in that work. Something I want to introduce you to is keeping a daily activity record. Know that it’s going to take a massive amount of work to get to a point where you want to be. This form is something that I use to keep myself on track and accountable. I record the phone calls and contacts that I make on a daily basis.
This is to make sure the business grew and I grew as well. This is all so I could create a bigger life for myself and more opportunity for the people I work with.
If you’d like a copy of the daily activity record or you have any questions about this topic, or you’re looking to buy or sell a home, please give me a call or shoot me a text. I’d be happy to help you!
