I can do HARD things (and so can you!)
How is your 1st quarter of 2025 going so far? Are you staying on track with the resolutions and goals you set for the new year?
On my end, these first few months have been quite productive! I’ve been focusing on goals in ALL areas of my life, and more importantly, I like to have visual trackers that help keep me accountable and measure the things that will actually help me achieve those goals.
So, what have I been up to so far?
In January, I completed a 3-day (72-hour!) water-only fast, which really showed me that I am mentally stronger than I think. I realized I often use food to relieve boredom rather than hunger. Even as an experienced intermittent faster, this was challenging, but as the hours went on, I felt incredibly proud of myself. The sense of accomplishment was so motivating that I’ve now set a new goal of completing a 36-hour water-only fast every other month! (P.S. I just completed a 40-hour fast a few days ago! 🙌)
On the business side, I have been underwriting deals like crazy, submitting LOIs, and negotiating with sellers. One of the deals I was working on was far bigger than anything I’ve ever done and would have been my first deal in the commercial space. Although these storage deals may seem “scary” because they’re new to me, this is just another way I’m pushing myself toward my bigger goals. It also helps that I work alongside wonderful business partners who hold me accountable, share responsibilities and experience, and provide a space for collaboration and creative solutions.
P.S. We ended up walking away from that deal (for now) because once the creative financing options we had been negotiating were removed, it just didn’t make sense for us or our investors. While we invested a lot of time and effort into this deal, the key to real estate is to base decisions on numbers, not emotions. 📊
So, while I haven’t yet met my goal of having a storage deal under contract by the end of March, I know that I can do HARD things—and if I keep focusing on ACTION and CONSISTENCY, I will get there. 😊
AND…the month isn’t over yet! We are still negotiating with other sellers, and I’m waiting for a counteroffer on a storage portfolio in Florida, so my Q1 2025 goal could still be accomplished. 😉
