It is with excruciating pain if you ever have a back pain like sciatica or scoliosis. Back pain is one of the worst pain of all. At one point I had to crawl because every movement hurts.
My first experience was when I turned 40 year old. Certainly 40 year of age hit me with a back pain that lasted for a month. It became an unproductive month. Your physical ability become restricted and hindered you from being active.
The second back pain happened most recently and it was the worst of all. I barely could walk or stand straight. I had to crawl to the car to go see the chiropractor. Fortunately he was able to re-adjust my herniated disc. No pain medication was needed. After a few days I’m functioned normally. However, my scoliosis back is still not straight yet.
The experience with back pain is temporary. Whereas the experience of not doing what we wish in life results in more pain, a lifetime of regrets. Imagine a month wasted, half a year or even a year wasted without taking action or implementing on the things we want to do.
And let’s be honest. We operate the same way with our business. We treat it blindly until something happened. Only when business hurts then we’re motivated to set plan.
In my line of business with CRE, many brokers treat it like a hobby. We don’t have a plan or keep record of our numbers. We don’t know our expenses and potential income. We don’t know what’s working and what doesn’t. We move forward blindly.
The cause of one issue can easily cured. The cause of not putting plans into action is a life long issue. We need to fix that mentality. Take action now.
Life goes on with or without us.
