My Climb to the Top to Prison and Back Again

No matter what you are going through perspective is the key to moving forward. I could have looked at my conviction as career ending, instead it is one of the greatest experiences of my life. Of course there are things that hurt, and were painful, but again….perspective.
One of the most important things you can do is understanding you made a mistake. Don’t hide from it and don’t try to blame it on somebody else. Take responsibility for your actions, take a hard-objective look and see where you went wrong, learn from them, change, and move on. If you don’t realize your problem you will make it again and a mistake made twice is a choice. I’ve overcome one of the worst experiences in my life and turned it into something positive by understanding I could have done things differently to begin with.
Turning Accident into Opportunity
Every time I face life-changing adversity first hand, there is one thing that’s always clear to me – there aren’t many things you can’t overcome with a little determination. Living by my parents positive principles, my siblings and I achieved early success in life. We received full scholarships to college – mine was an athletic scholarship. My athletic abilities and positive life attitude helped me achieve great things. One mistake people make is thinking that successful people have it easy and everything goes right for them. They don’t… and it doesn’t. Successful people just don’t give up until they succeed so it always appears they are successful because you don’t see how many times they tried. Failing is not failure. Failure is when you quit. Failing is just learning how not to do it and trying it a different way.
At 20 years old, I suffered a terrible accident on the golf course. A golf cart crushed my leg. Not only were my best athletic days behind me, I nearly lost my leg as well. I could have given up, but I didn’t. Instead, I turned my attention in a different direction – real estate. I made the conscious decision to remain positive. No one was going to tell me I wouldn’t walk again. Matter of fact I went on to run the New York Marathon years later.
Life is full of events that alter our path. We can’t change that, but we can choose how we react to them. A golf cart may have altered my path in life, but it didn’t change my attitude and I used that accident to propel me into the next phase of my life. That’s completely in my control. Two key differences between successful people and unsuccessful people are attitude and determination.
Errors in Judgement
When I entered the real estate world, I had no prior experience. I had to start from the beginning. Changing your life focus can be intimidating and I had my share of doubts along the way. Looking back on it now it’s clear to me that my lack of background in business was costly. That lack of a strong professional foundation led to errors in judgement along the way. My focus was not balanced and my foundation was sandy
