How to Stay Motivated When Working in Real Estate

What is your motivation or the reason behind why you do what you do? Why did you decide to get into real estate in the first place? Why are you a real estate investor or working to become one? Branching out on your own into the real estate investment world can be so challenging at times that it is important to have a deep reason as to why you are getting into it to push forwards. This reasoning will help to stay the course when times get tough, or uncertain. Most people only go 1-2 levels deep when searching for their real “why”, however, to find your true reason, you need to go 7 levels deep into your psyche until you reach the heart of the matter.

Navigating real estate investment, especially in the GTA, without a guiding light, without having a clear why backing you can make it easy to be tempted into quitting after the first setback. Hence the method of looking 7 levels deep into your reasons to find your inner strength. 

The key to going seven levels deep is essentially asking yourself why 7 times or asking the previous question 7 times but going one level deeper each time. For example, when asking yourself “why did I get into real estate investment” your answer might be “I got into it because I want to provide my family with more opportunities”. The next question would be “why do you want more opportunities for your family” and you’ll ask this so on and so forth until it’s been asked 7 times. At about the 3rd reiteration of this question, you might feel the focus shift inside yourself from your head to your heart, and on the 7th question, you will find yourself speaking your true why. It may boil down to feeling a need to have control of your life because growing up your family could not provide you with a lot of opportunities. Whatever your answer is, is within yourself, you’ve just got to dig 7 levels deep. 

The answer to the question on the 7th level should truly tap into your physiology and show you the real reasoning for why you started down this path in the first place. It gives you a reason to reflect, gets you out of bed in the morning, and keeps pushing toward your goals. The reason why you started getting involved with real estate, is the reason you’re working on becoming a successful real estate investor. Harness the strength you get from looking 7 levels deep and use it to your advantage when needing an extra reason, an extra push to keep going every day.
