Has a lack of confidence stopped you from achieving what you’re capable of?

I wanted to touch base today to address the key issue of confidence (or, lack-there-of).

From my personal experience working with people one-on-one in Property Development, I have discovered that confidence is a major factor in what makes or breaks people. The one factor that allows people to succeed in their endeavours but also the one factor that if missing, stops people from reaching their full potential.

Instilling confidence starts with eliminating fear. Fear often holds us back from moving forward, whether it’s the fear of failure, loss, or embarrassment.

So how do we overcome this fear?

We must identify and address the underlying reasons or excuses we use to justify our lack of action. Take a moment to reflect on your own situation. Are you using the “too busy” excuse, like myself and many others? If so, it’s essential to be honest with yourself and uncover the deeper fears that are hindering your progress.

One common challenge for aspiring property developers is not knowing where to start. I receive countless questions from individuals who have a desire to embark on their property development journey but feel lost. They wonder about the first steps, the chicken-and-egg dilemma, finding suitable sites, securing financing, and various other uncertainties.

If you find yourself in this position, I want you to know that it’s completely normal.

‘The key is to take action despite the uncertainties.’

Remember, property development is a journey, not a destination. Waiting for the perfect conditions or complete knowledge will only delay your progress. Embrace the learning process and tackle each step as it comes. You are capable of achieving your goals.

Procrastination:

Let’s address another obstacle that often impedes our progress: procrastination.

We delay taking action because we feel that things are not perfect yet. However, I assure you that perfection is an illusion. Waiting for everything to align perfectly will only prolong your journey. Take the leap, even if things are not ideal. Progress and improvement occur along the way, not before it.

Time for Harvest:

Now, let’s discuss the principles of harvest, which I find particularly insightful. Charles Reade beautifully captured these principles in 1814. The first principle states that you can only expect to receive a harvest from the seeds you have sown.

This principle directly relates to property development. If you desire financial rewards and a better life, you must take the necessary steps and sow the seed of property development. This involves educating yourself, attending courses, and gaining practical experience. By investing in yourself and your knowledge, you are planting the seeds for a prosperous future.

The second principle highlights the power of our thoughts and beliefs.

“Sow a thought, reap an act;
sow an act, reap a habit;
sow a habit, reap a character;
sow a character, reap a destiny.”

Positive thinking and empowering beliefs are vital in this journey. Start by telling yourself that you can become a successful property developer. Be mindful of your thoughts and self-talk, for they shape your actions and ultimately determine your destiny.

Wishing you increased confidence and remarkable progress in your property ventures!
