I think we can all agree that everyone wants to be rich, successful and happy right? Most of us are just lost and confused on how to get there. We hear all of these success stories about how this person came up, or elevated, from nothing and we think “how?” When you compare all of these stories though, every single person has the same thing in common. Whether it’s Steve Jobs, Gary Vee, or your mom & pop business owner, they all share one attribute: They do the work.

I started attending masterminds with The Closing Table and I can honestly say, I had learned more than I ever thought I would. Not only about real estate, but about business and success in general. At the latest mastermind, I sat down with a good friend of mine, Suneet Agarwal. Suneet started off as a real estate agent and then moved on to a different branch of business and saw a lot of success. He was making a ton of money and had a ton of freedom. That is, until one day, in the blink of an eye, it was all gone. The government has ceased his millions of dollars of assets and left him with nothing but $2,000. 

When I asked Suneet what he did after this shocking event occured, he told me this: he hustled every waking moment. He had become accustomed to a lifestyle he could no longer afford and wanted to get it back. It took him a little bit to figure out what he wanted to put his effort into. He tried an online business, marketing, he even tried farming. With the help and support of his friends and family, he finally came to the realization that he still had an underlying passion for real estate. He spent the next year of his life dressing nicely and putting in the work every single day. He did not spend any money that wasn’t absolutely necessary and focused all of his waking energy into building back up his career in real estate. For him, that meant also intaking as much content as possible to help himself in life and in business. 

Suneet is now the CEO and owner of a brokerage up in Sacramento and he also has his own team that is on track to do 250 transactions this year. The moral of these stories is that these people did not get lucky, they did not sit around binge watching Stranger Things or spending endless hours scrolling through social media just wishing their life was different. They put in the work. Don’t let laziness get in your way. Apply yourself, push yourself, set goals, and then do everything you can to reach them. Your dreams will only work if you do.
