Five Key Points:

Learn to delegate, but not abdicate. Turning over something you’re not good at doesn’t mean you need to be hands off.
A military work ethic translates very well into the civilian sector.
Real estate can be a very distracting business. Don’t be a business that does everything, but nothing well. Find an area of specialization.
Think big and visualize goals that excite you to stay focused and motivated.
Arm yourself mentally for success – the battle for becoming successful is all in your mind.
