 Hey, what's up guys Ricky here. Hope you're doing well I wanted to do this quick video and let you guys know how thankful I am that you guys Subscribe to my channel. I just hit a thousand subscribers last week So I'm super excited about that a lot of great things coming Another reason why I wanted to shoot this video was to tell you why I do a YouTube channel So just as a disclaimer I'm not exactly Where I want to be okay in terms of success and my life I'm very happy with where I am, but I'm not satisfied. I'm hungry for more I'm pushing harder and harder every single day With that being said, I know that where I am is where a lot of you guys would like to be So I don't want you guys to feel like I am all high and mighty and I think I'm just on a pedestal Because that's not how it is. I am on the same level as you guys and I'm trying to get to that next level It's always about the next level if you're just new in real estate or new in business You just started a business. You're brand new at something You're trying to get to that first level of making your first sale or making a hundred thousand in your first year Or so on and so forth. That's where I am. I'm trying to get to that next level It may be a bigger level because I've been at it longer I have the experience behind me. I've learned all my mistakes and I know exactly what works for me What doesn't and so I can apply that and crush it and succeed in a big way But I'm always trying to get to that next level So the reason I'm doing the YouTube channel is because Since I'm where a lot of you guys want to be and I'm still pushing as hard as I can to go even further I feel like if I could share my experiences with you and The things that I think about my mindset how I do things That maybe there's something you can take with you from what I do that can help you also crush it and Take your life and your business to another level Another reason is because I really want to motivate you. Okay. I love being around motivated people It's really hard for me to be around unmotivated people. I just don't understand them. We just don't connect so Through me doing this YouTube channel. What I'm trying to do is to prove to you How hard you have to work how great your work ethic has to be and how hard I work to get where I am and Basically in my mind, no one can outwork me You know, I'm not the most talented guy out there, right? But I feel like I can win in the work ethic department I've always believed that I could work harder than anyone and whatever I was doing. So when I got in real estate I didn't start out as quickly as a lot of other people did But I knew that I was gonna make it I knew that I was gonna do well I knew that I was gonna crush it because I knew that I was never gonna give up And I knew that I was gonna outwork everyone and it's the tortoise in the hair, right? I knew that I was gonna get To the finish line and I was gonna beat out everybody there because I work harder and through hard work is Experience and through experience you gain knowledge and skill So through have having a strong work ethic, you can't help but to stumble upon Skill right and a little bit of talent and you can start gaining these these tools that you can use To go higher and higher and higher You know my four, you know keys to long-term success. You got to believe work hard adapt and be patient So I truly believe in those four keys. I'll live by them, but You know the YouTube channel is to show you guys how hard I actually work and Hopes that you make it a goal to outwork me. I want to see you guys out working me I want to know that there's someone out there that's watching what I'm doing that's that that's witnessing how hard or you actually have to work to get where you want to be and takes that and Maybe it changes the direction of their life and they decide I'm gonna outwork Ricky I'm gonna make that a goal now goals are made to To not not to hit but to motivate right like this year. I have a huge goal of 1.5 million and gross commissions earned So that's a goal that I really believe I can hit with all my heart And I'm gonna give it everything I got to hit that goal, but if I do not hit it I'm not gonna be upset with myself because I know that I gave it everything I had and that I can't always control the results So I'm gonna give it everything I got That's what goals are all about and I want you to make a goal to outwork me and maybe you'll hit that Maybe you want but at least it'll motivate you to give it everything you got So that's what my YouTube channel is all about It's to inspire you is to motivate you is to show you what it's all about and I want to give you details I want to give you details of what I do so that you can incorporate some of the stuff into your daily weekly monthly habits I want you to understand that it takes time and you have to compound your efforts You have to revolve your part of your daily routine Around actions that are compounding your efforts into something huge over time Everything can't be about today. Everything can't be about the deal Right spend half your time on trying to do deals and the other half on trying to compound efforts for future deals An abundance of future deals and so that you can actually claim that number one spot You can actually hit that hundred deals a year as a single agent You can actually make a million dollars a year and more right a lot of things are About this business are that there's no limit the sky's the limit, which means infinity You as much as you put into it is what you're going to get back And we can only handle so much Right, that's why I don't think That's why I'm not worried about coaching other agents in my market or You know sharing all the the knowledge and experiences I've had over the years because I just feel like You can only handle so much everybody's going to get as much as they can handle And it's not even going to be even close to the tip of the iceberg for what's available to us, so Understand that your full potential is is is Maintaining as much business and life as you can handle it once at all times and over time If you maintain that you're going to reach your full potential.
