Flipping houses has to be one of the most rewarding projects in the real estate industry. You take a beat-down, worn-out home - and turn into a stunning remodel. Although it takes money, a detailed plan, and the vision to make it all come together seamlessly - the journey seems worth it. Of course, there are challenges not seen until the project starts. And sometimes, you may run into some snags that put you slightly over-budget. Despite all of the detours and setbacks, the return on your investment is great! You may have risked it all to get the project done. But, you rose through the challenge of completing what others would deem an impossible DIY project.
Like remodeling a home, sometimes we need to go through a remodel phase in our lives. We often need to be reminded that success is more about the journey than the destination. When the internal "lightbulb" finally goes off and that mentality sets in, we can then undergo a complete remodel. And with every remodel, there is a name attached to the project. Consider a personal remodel called the "REST(oration) Project".
Restoration, in this sense, rests on the truth that the journey is more important to one's growth than the goal itself. Sure, we should all have goals. But more often than not, we idolize the goal so much and completely ignore the journey. Millionaires and Billionaires successfully mastered the journey, celebrating small victories and learning from failures, big and small. Of course, none of them achieved overnight success. So, why should we be so impatient on our journey to success?
We live in a society that can receive information with just a click or tap. We have allowed ourselves to adapt to this type of mentality, thinking that success can be achieved overnight. Since time immemorial, success has always stood on this principle: the journey is more important than the reward.
Now, what does this have anything to do with the "REST(oration) Project"? The key word is "REST". Rest is a vital part of the success journey. We lose sleep over what is out of our control, all because we want immediate success. Or, we desire a guaranteed success that fits with our standards of living. That's not true success. True success allows one to rest and embrace the journey, whilst keeping the goal in front at all times. Our goals are reminders of why we are on this journey in the first place.
If we look at things in that perspective, we can understand why the "REST(oration) Project" is one we can all learn from. It may not be easy. It may take some time. But if we don't get started, someone else will achieve our dreams right in front of us. Or in the housing business, someone will take that rundown house and turn it into a dream home. Getting started is the first step most people are afraid to take.
Why don't you become the Game-Changer in your family and flip that house?
Why don't you join in on the "REST(oration) Project"?
Who knows who you could inspire!
