Rod Khleif is a passionate real estate investor who started when he was just 18 years old. On his third year as a real estate broker, he was able to earn six figures in his business and it was all because he took the time to work on his mindset and develop positive psychology for himself. Rod shares how you can develop a strong will to succeed no matter the hardships you are currently facing right now. There is nothing that you can’t do!
Key Takeaways:

- So many people have the knowledge but they don’t take action!!!
- Take some time when you’re energized to write down everything that you want and need in your life. Write it all out, no matter how crazy it might sound.
- What you have on your paper right now is just dreams. Now you gotta put a timeline on them to make them into goals.
- Use empowering words when you write all this down. Words will move you.
- Then take it one step further, write negative words to deter you from failing. Make it painful.
- This document is the fuel that will help you work your dream and encourage you to stay up late and work those nights until you’ve achieved it.
- Rod realized he wanted a corvette, so he went out and got a picture of it and put it in the visor of his car so that he would see it everyday. Within 2 years, he got that car.

“I have learned so much more from my failures and the challenges than I ever have from the wins.”
“At this point, I’ve been in the business for 13 years. I’ve had a lot of highs, a lot of success, I had a lot of lows, significantly more lows and failures than I have had highs. I truly believe that’s what’s made me the man I am today.”
