A real-estate investor sets a calendar reminder 30 days after a setback, then reviews what happened when it pops up. He found this delays emotional pain enough to spot lessons and unexpected wins. The practice rewires how your brain handles failure.
And so I started putting into my calendar 30 days out from the moment something bad happens. I write super specifically like, all right, that deal on Worcester Street just died. Seller's so pissed at you. Are we okay? 30 days from now, I get to that moment. I look at that calendar invite and it just says open me, right? And I open it up and I look at it. I'm like, oh no, I fixed that deal. Oh, see, I'm fine. Right? Or, yeah, that sucked, but look what else I've done in the last 30 days. And when you do that, it slowly starts to train your brain and your emotional response system so that the next time you have a loss, just the physical act of putting that note in your calendar 30 days out starts to make you feel better pretty quickly. Yeah, um, I can keep going.
Yeah, well, no, I love it because as I was one doing, uh, my major prep for this and to reading your books and watching your vlogs and everything. What I've discovered is, you know, from the early episodes of Million Dollar Listing to now, there's been a massive self-aware— you know, I wouldn't say you weren't self-aware, but you've come to terms and grown in this personality. Like you talked about it a lot in Big Money Energy about becoming this kinder person, this gentler person, which was probably there all along because you were always connected to the arts.
Yes.
What do you wish people kind of tapped into more often that you hope that they would figure out sooner, that it took you a while to figure out, that you would want to say, hey, if you can go work on this, people, this would really help you move your life along?
