The Cycle of Abundance
It was a rainy day in April 2008. As we all know, the economy was taking a dive that year, so business as usual wasn’t “business” or “usual” for most of us.
For many years, I was proud of the fact I could say, “I never lost money investing in real estate.” I can’t say that anymore. I screwed up. I lost focus. I stepped outside my area of expertise, I started investing in things other than real estate, and got my wings clipped. I lost everything I had worked to build over the previous 25 years.
It was in the middle of my most challenging times that I promised myself that when I got back on track again I would commit to giving back and help others avoid what I had gone through.
In my process of rebuilding, I was blessed with the opportunity to support others by being a volunteer mentor to share what I had learned through my ups and downs. In fact, I found by giving back I gained exponentially more that I gave, both emotionally and financially.
I was beginning to discover what I refer to as the Cycle of Abundance™.
The cycle of abundance is simple; When we share and give from a place of caring and abundance, over time we get back more than we gave. This allows us to do better, which in turn gives us the opportunity to give back even more. As this cycle continues and grows, these actions affect others, sending out ripples that spread further and further to make a positive impact on more and more people.
By believing in and embracing this cycle of abundance, we continue to attract even more abundance.
It is with this realization of the power of the cycle of abundance, and knowing from my own experience that there is a different and better way of doing business collaboratively, that I created the Mastering Real Estate blueprint – real estate investing in a way where everyone can win.
