A short motivational monologue (by Steven Burch) urging viewers to accept early failure when trying new things. The speaker uses a two-year-old-learning-to-walk anecdote and emphasizes setting the ego aside; he also notes that new technologies (including AI) and legal changes will make adaptability important, especially in residential real estate.
I saw this cool image and I posted it on social media right away. And the image read, be brave enough to suck at something new. Man, if that's not going to be my mantra for 2024, I don't know what is. Look, the first time you ever try anything, you're always terrible at it. What would you do if you were a two year old who just decided, nah, walking's not for me, this walking stuff's too hard, I'm going to stay crawling. Never even occurred to them. They just keep going. They just keep trying. Be comfortable. Set your ego as side. Don't let your ego get in the way of your success. This is a new year, a new time, new things, new technologies. More new stuff coming our direction. We got lawsuits, that's going to be new. We've got AI and that's going to be coming in full tilt to residential real estate. More and more new is going to be coming your way. You've got to get comfortable with sucking at something a little bit so that you can get great at it over time. Set your ego aside, watch what happens.
