You Climbed The Highest Mountain… What Now?

A good friend sent me a quote from David Goggins yesterday and I want to unwrap it. I will attach a video from Goggins as well. “Either you are getting better or you are getting worse, you are not staying the same! If you got to the top of the mountain you were climbing, make sure you immediately start looking for yet another mountain to climb!”

Quotes like this are why I still work. A Real Estate Broker asked me recently why I still work. He followed up and asked what I could have done different so I didn’t still “need” to work. After more discussion I learned that, in his opinion, the only reason anyone my age (closer to 69 than my current 68) would still be working was because they had to work. He saw work as punishment.

He was a Real Estate broker who was far too comfortable verbally abusing the people he worked with. He denigrated everyone from buyers, sellers, agents on both sides and even the mortgage brokers. He honed the rare ability to smile at someone and fake sincerity. It was clear he hated what he was doing and he did it only for the money. I knew this because he told me. He did quite well financially. He saw an article I wrote a few weeks back on the coming changes in the real estate business. He is concerned about the impact those changes could have on his pay check. After talking with him, I would be more concerned about his personal long-term impact on his paycheck.

How can anyone excel doing something they see as punishment surrounded by people they either dislike or hate? If you’re doing OK imagine how much better you could be if you actually enjoyed working? When I finally realized how much I hated working with politicians I quit the same day. Life was improved the following day!???

I had my first job cutting lawns when I was 13 and hired my first employee when I was 14. The friend I hired would cut a lawn for me and the job paid $5 and gave him $2. I sold the person on lawncare, I inspected the final result and I collected the money. As far as I could tell, I was doing the hard part. Doing this today would violate a collection of laws but that was 1969 and the rules were a bit different then.

My level of job satisfaction today is off the charts and I cannot imagine not getting up and going to work. I know I make an impact every day. I parted ways with the broker with reading suggestions like Once Upon A Cow by Cruz, Start With Why by Sinek and Life Expectancy by Keiper. ?Each of these has the potential to be life changing once implemented. I fear the implementation will be slow. How can I help you?
