A short monologue (YouTube) in which the speaker—an investor/real estate company owner—comments that some people remain emotionally stuck on the 2008–2009 real estate crash. The speaker urges listeners to stop using the crash as an excuse, instead to learn from it, grow, push personal limits, and build closer relationships (partner, children, self).
I talk to people. I'm in the real estate investing. I have a real estate investment company. This is like 2020, clearly. And they're like, man, they're still talking about 2008 and nine, how it wiped them out. I'm like, dude, that's 12 years ago. Get over it. Grow up. When are you going to stop using what's going on or what's happened as an excuse? Use it as an excuse to learn. Use it as an excuse to grow. Use it as an excuse to gain knowledge. Use it as an excuse to push yourself to new limits. Get closer with your lover. Get closer with your kids. Get closer with yourself.
