When you were growing up, you no doubt knew there were a bunch of words you just shouldn’t say. You know the ones I’m talking about, right? Most of them – although not all of them — had four letters. And unless you grew up with hippie parents who were all about letting you “express yourself,” you knew saying any one of those words in the wrong place at the wrong time was just about guaranteed to get you into more trouble than Jessica Simpson taking SATs – trouble.
Which I guess is why we called them Bad Words.
Let a Bad Word slip at the wrong time, in front of the wrong person, and something bad was bound to happen – to YOU. So you learned – at least I assume you did – to use those words very, very carefully
Unless you were practicing to become a stand-up comic.
Well, as I’ve grown up (crap, did I?) and gone out into the world to make it to the top in the luxury home investing biz, I’ve run across one single word that is even worse than those Bad Words you weren’t supposed to say. In fact, I would call it the Worst Word in the English Language.
This is a word so powerful, and so completely and totally horrible, that if you let it slip from your lips it at the wrong time, or in the wrong circumstance, it can literally mess up your entire life.
Have any idea what it is?
It’s FEAR.
FEAR is the one word in the English (not to mention Spanish) language that’s guaranteed to bring whatever you’re doing, whatever progress you’re making, to an immediate, grinding stop.
FEAR means closing the door on opportunity, on possibility, on anything and everything that can get you from where you are to someplace bigger and better.
When you stop yourself because of FEAR, you say, “I’m not going to try. I’m not taking the risk. I’m not putting myself out there.”
Which means you stay exactly where you are.
Of course, most of the time, when we say no to ourselves due to fear, that’s exactly why we do it. We’re comfortable where we are. We like knowing what to expect from each and every day. We feel safe and secure in our little boxes where we don’t put anything on the line and we don’t risk facing rejection or failure.
The problem with that school of thought is, you’re also not going to find much success.
Keep doing what you are doing – you’ll get what you got.
I was a victim of the same thing…then I realized that “You can afford anything that moves your dream forward”
And this doesn’t just apply to luxury property investing field. Wherever and however you’re trying to make your fortune, the four-letter word, FEAR, is the ultimate party foul, buzz-kill and dream stealer.
Are you going to let FEAR stop you from reaching your dreams??
While, on the other hand, the word ACTION is almost guaranteed to get the party started.
Start working through the FEAR and start saying YES to ACTION
Say YES where you might otherwise say NO, and a whole new world of possibilities opens up. You meet new people. You try new things. You stretch your boundaries. And the possibilities and opportunities available to you grow and grow.
No, don’t get me wrong – I’m not saying that you should never, ever say NO. For example, if someone offers to give you a bright orange Mohawk haircut, I would highly recommend it.
But if you’re looking to get the most out of your career – and your life – there’s generally only one thing you should say NO to. And that’s the word NO.
Well, that and drugs.
About the Author
About Marco Kozlowski: Marco Kozlowski, was a struggling musician, under constant pressure to make ends meet and virtually bankrupt before a late night infomercial led him to real estate. The promise of wealth intrigued him, but it came with a steep learning curve. After buying 119 houses in his first year he found himself upside down — paying more out than he got back in rent. But in his zest to move a luxury property no one could sell, he witnessed firsthand the power of auctions. It was then that he began to unravel the secrets that would make him millions. That was more than 10 years ago. Now he focuses exclusively on finding, controlling and selling luxury property without risk. Best of all, he's created and perfected a system that allows others to do the same. To learn more about Marco Kozlowski, please visit http://www.MarcoKozlowski.com
