How To Conquer Your Fear Of Taking Risk
Associates,Education costs. Time or money. One way or another, you pay. Some people spend years learning the hard way—trial and error, grinding through mistakes that could’ve been avoided. Others buy speed. They invest in knowledge, in mentors, in experiences that shortcut the process. Most people don’t hesitate to drop money on entertainment—weekend trips, subscriptions, eating out. But when it comes to investing in themselves? They freeze. I know, because I hesitated too. And today, I want to show you what happened when I stopped hesitating and actually bet on myself.

This is About FEAR. 🛩️When I was 21, I wanted to do something crazy. Something worth remembering. So I signed up to go skydiving. I had never done it before. But I knew I wanted to do it. To face a fear. To overcome it. Here’s the thing though—jumping out of a plane with zero experience? That’s called suicide. So what did I do? I strapped myself to a master. The guy I was attached to had 14,000 hours of free-fall experience. And once I was strapped in? There was no turning back. He was jumping. That meant I was jumping too. That’s what investing in mentorship feels like. You find someone who’s already done what you want to do, and you strap yourself to them. They’ve already made the mistakes. They’ve figured out the game. And when they jump, you jump. That’s how I got my first real estate deal. WHAT HOLDS MOST PEOPLE BACK?Fear. The fear of wasting money. So they stick to what’s safe. They stay on YouTube, watching more free content. And look—YouTube is great. But YouTube University is on the same street as The School of Hard Knocks. When you don’t have a real mentor, you don’t get the nuances, the guidance, the accountability. And when things go wrong? You’re on your own. Jim Rohn said it best: MY STORYWhen I hired my first real estate coach, I was terrified. I had never dropped five figures on education before. I remember checking my bank account and watching it shrink, thinking, Did I just make a huge mistake? Because for a short season, my net worth actually dropped. But two years later? That investment completely changed my trajectory. Because of what I learned, I house-hacked my first duplex. I built the foundation for my real estate business. I stopped dreaming and started doing. And now, I’m giving you the same opportunity—without the cost. If you are wise, you will use nervousness...
