The myth of step by step and blueprints

by Cris Chico on May 6, 2011

Are you looking for any of the below?

* A step by step system that will tell you what to do every step of the way

* A real estate system that guides you and gives you ever possible scenario that you’ll encounter and how to overcome it

* Blueprints or other diagrams that lay out all possible scenarios and tell you what to do

* A system that has nothing left out and covers every conceivable thing that could happen in your business

I got bad news for you

It doesn’t exist

You have a better chance of finding the tooth fairy….

Here’s a video from one of my mentors explaining exactly what I mean.

How does this apply to real estate?

The problem is that most investors invest in a system and then the minute something goes wrong… or something does not work 100% as they should… they give up or get frustrated or simply say that “it doesn’t work”.

Is this you?

So how can you change your thought process so that the moment that something goes wrong you are able to make adjustments and eventually succeed?

HINT: You have to realize that nothing is ever going to work 100% as advertised… there are too many variables to account for and you have to make adjustments as you go along.

I’m not even sure that uncertainty is ‘reality’. If we are really stripping it down, that begs the question “what is reality”? That said, I like what he had to say–essentially “embrace the unknown”—pretty much everything else is illusive…AND…we each have personal responsibility for our own experience (no guru can ultimately provide that: Buddha, Cris Chico or otherwise).

Hi Cris,

Mr. Shefren is right about the illusion of success. It is my consensus that trial and error mixed with a high motivation to succeed brings the best results.

If you take the above statement and include an ongoing solid education, a person cannot fail no matter what. Thomas Alva Edison proved this while creating the light bulb. He stayed at the trial and error… until he got the desired result.

The video & your message is so true Cris, and myself and other investors have to see that things wont always go as a course or program says, but we have to keep pushing until things workout. Thanks for the encouragement.

Great idea, right on target, should have shared it in one minute. His repetition diminished his message and made it sound goofy. thanks bc

Cris, thanks for posting this! This so true how many times have we given up, just as we were about to break through the barrier. NEVER QUIT and you will win!
