Whack-a-Mole your stress away!!

Every once in a while, things happen in the real estate business that seem to put a damper on things…a really big damper.  
The game of real estate is an ever changing battle with unforeseen events popping up all around you….much like the game of “Whack-a-mole”.  They key is to whack the mole as quickly as possible and then be on the lookout for the next one!
I’m here to tell you to hang in there!!
Even the most seasoned investor has times where he thinks “Man, things are getting tough….maybe I’m not cut out for this.”…..but the seasoned investor quickly puts these worries aside and fixes the problem… and then move onto the next one……Whack a mole!!

The thing they don’t tell you is every time you deal with a problem, the better you are equipped to deal with the next one.
Speaking from experience, I often look back and laughed at what I considered “stressful”.  The problems I have faced in the past seem smaller and smaller each time something comes up!  Things like a leaking tap or broken stove seemed to be keeping me up at night.  Now it is a phone call and a $50 repair bill.  No big deal. 
As I have said in the past, being able to handle stress is a competitive advantage.  And the more stress you can handle will give you the fortitude to drive forward in the face of adversity!
Hang in there everyone!! And one day real estate may set you free!!
