Your Mama by Mik Cohen

In most cases, our mamas want to see the best in us.

Even if you’re not the best or the brightest, your mama wants you to succeed in whatever business you pursue.

World economies have gone through tremendous changes, just over the last 5 years, and those changes are not all good, either.

That does NOT change your mama’s need to see you happy and successful.

My thought is, if you’re happy, then you are successful – but this blog is not about that kind of happiness and success, it’s about financial happiness and business success.

So, in this challenging economy where, even, college graduates are struggling to find a JOB (Some call it a career) and are struggling with mountains of debt, as a result of their student loans, what can YOU do to lessen the odds that you’ll fail ?

Be aware of some very simple opportunities that are always present AND have a laser focus when it comes to tapping into your, true, passions and/or interests.

When I say “very simple opportunities”, I’m referring to those opps within your scope of passions and interests.

You know what I’m sayin too !

In every economy, and many times, despite the economy – many people succeed and do VERY well, both in financial happiness and business success.

You recognize them – those who look relaxed and content, they’re usually smiling and they have a sense of confidence – it’s that body language that you can read, clearly.

Did you know that most successful people are not college grads, they don’t come from a financially wealthy family and they didn’t have anyone, simply, hand them the keys to success.

What these people have is passion and drive.

They recognize their strengths and/or interests.

Some refer to them as Type “A” personalities, but they’re no different than you – other than they’ve already reached a certain level of financial happiness and business success.

My interest is real estate and that’s where I’m building my financial happiness and business success, but it’s more than that.

In my journey through building this business, I have endured mountains of failures – and I still fail.

Those failures are lessons and I keep learning and, as a result, growing.

I, also, clearly understand that I do NOT know it all, but I know enough and my open mind will always enable, NOT disable, me.

Over the time I’ve been into real estate (Since February, 2006), and through all those failures AND successes I’ve had, I changed and I’ll never be the same man I was, previous to February, 2006.

My eyes AND mind are wide open and I’m finding that I have other interests I’m going to pursue and, therefore, I’ll continue to learn and grow.

Every success AND failure is a lesson that I’ve learned from.

THAT is, in reality, true education.
Go on – make your mama, AND yourself, proud.

SUMMARY:

·* Identify your passions and/or interests
·* Learn to recognize the butt-loads of opportunities, w/in those passions/interests that are all around you
 * Identify how you can tap into those opportunities – then tap away
 
 * Keep an open mind and understand that you’ll never know it all – but you’ll know enough and that your open mind will ALWAYS enable you to learn and grow.
 
* An ingredient to success is failure and failure will always be present in your life. Learn to accept those failures because that’s the only way you can, thoroughly, learn the lessons that will help you reach success.


 * Depending on what your passions and interests are, you may find that you do NOT have to go to college to reach financial happiness and business success.

* Start RIGHT NOW. You have a pretty strong idea of what motivates you – task yourself to write down some steps you’re going to take, over the next 7 days, that will put you on the path to inserting yourself into an active role within those passions/interests.

·* HOLD ON !! Because once you take those first few steps, that passion of yours is going to ignite and you’re in for an exciting, crazy and fulfilling ride – and your life will never be the same.

When you reach your financial happiness and business success, look around and see them.
You’ll recognize the look in their eyes and you’ll remember that inquisitive look was yours, back in the day -  when you recognized financial happiness and business success and began your journey.

You’re an inspiration.
