I have spent a majority of my adult life consulting other adults on business affairs related to construction development and real estate
investing.
From people with no money to multi millionaires, and there is no difference in the amount of work they are willing to do.
Some are willing to do the right work the right way and some are not.
People get wrapped up in the idea of what they are supposed to do, what everyone else is doing; instead of looking at the big picture or results of their effort.when I was a kid, mostly to figure out what was wrong with myself. After 20 years of being in a business that does not forgive cliche or rumor I have become an expert in evaluating others behavior; compared to the results they wish to obtain. Looking over real estate deals and dealing with the individuals that make things happen, and those that make things complicated, I feel I wound up being a psychologist after all.
It's not about giving individuals the facts they need or the tools they lack but showing them how they can find them and use them in a way they've not thought of before. But no amount of truth or psychology can make people step off of their path unless they are willing to look at where they are going; instead of behaving the way everyone else does. That starts with an honest evaluation of themselves and excusing their failures as justified by being better than the failures of others.
