Patience, persistence, and a readiness to absorb lessons from both triumphs and disappointments are necessary for real estate investment.

It was a defining moment of reckoning, a stark realization that I had sacrificed years of my life for a career that seemed to be slipping through my fingers.Yet, amidst the despair, a flicker of resilience ignited within me, fueled by the echoes of past triumphs over adversity.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.”Theodore Roosevelt, 1910

Share your struggles, triumphs, and some funny things that happened along the way. 

@Soniel Estime hey there, I’ve said before that I loved your story of trials and triumph.  

Hearing other people's journeys, fears, struggles, and triumphs really has helped me get into a REI mindset and to believe its possible for me to succeed. 

This triumph marked the second-fastest Stanley Cup win by an expansion team since 1967, trailing only the Edmonton Oilers.

Too, what is it worth to be at home with your family, friends, and community each night vs. a "road warrior" investors travel the country and missing out on the joys and triumph in your home town?
