WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? | Mindset Mastery w/ AZ Araujo
 
Manifesting something much greater within yourself should be at the forefront of how you approach the game of life, especially when you're committed to constant growth.
 
Growth comes with challenges, and through these challenges, you will face moments of being broken. This is a fundamental part of the process, and it's important to keep this in mind as you navigate life's obstacles.
 
When you're in the thick of these challenges, you might feel frustrated, as if the world is conspiring against you. It's crucial to understand that the path to growth won't always align with your plans. Life rarely goes exactly as we imagine it will, and accepting this reality is part of the journey.
 
Growth demands a lot from you. It requires taking on great responsibility, overcoming numerous challenges, and maintaining relentless effort. The grind can often feel defeating, draining your motivation and inspiration, making it seem like a constant burden.
 
Yet, everyone goes through this. It's easy to forget that these struggles are integral to the process. Without self-reflection and thoughtful analysis of your thoughts, frustration can grow, leading you to believe you deserve all the positives without any of the downsides, trapping you in a negative mindset.
 
But ask yourself: Who do you think you are?
 
Who do you think you are to sit there and complain about the very life you once dreamed of? Who do you think you are to loathe the process, forgetting that there was a time when living the life you have now was merely a fantasy? Who do you think you are to act like a victim, expecting everything to work out in your favor?
 
Growth involves accepting both the good and the challenging aspects that push you to the next level. It's almost comical to believe you shouldn't face any challenges. Such entitlement ignores the reality that growth is a constant battle and fight.
 
Stop complaining and ask yourself again: Who do you think you are?
 
By having this honest and raw conversation with yourself, you will begin to see the humor in expecting dream results without the accompanying responsibilities. Embrace these responsibilities and meet your challenges with a positive attitude. Be grateful and thankful for the opportunity to push your boundaries. Every problem you face is aligning you with your ultimate goals.
 
QUESTIONS TO CONSIDER:
How do you remind yourself that being broken and challenged is part of the growth process?
What strategies do you use to maintain motivation during tough times?
How do you practice self-reflection to avoid falling into a negative mindset?
In what ways can you change your perspective on challenges to see them as opportunities for growth?
 
NOTABLE QUOTES:
"Manifesting something much greater within yourself should be at the forefront of how you approach the game of life, especially when you're committed to constant growth."
"Growth demands a lot from you. It requires taking on great responsibility, overcoming numerous challenges, and maintaining relentless effort."

YOU'RE TOO SMALL | Mindset Mastery w/ AZ Araujo
 
Regardless of what you hear on the news or from other real estate agents, there's a market ripe for growth and prosperity. It all boils down to a simple phrase that needs to be reinforced on a daily basis:
DO THE WORK!
 
Real power comes from facing a big obstacle when you feel too small. It comes when you recognize that the problem requires a bit more effort, intention, and focus to overcome. Real power is harnessed when you do the work. However, many people fall into the trap of believing the problem is too large and that they are too small to conquer it.
 
There will be times when you feel too small to tackle the big problems in front of you. This is the moment to enhance your skill sets and expand your capabilities. Each small step you take brings you closer to overcoming your big goals and challenges. By persistently pushing your limits, you can achieve more than you initially thought possible.
 
You must constantly remind yourself of your true potential. Focus on seeing the bigger version of yourself, not the one playing too small or yielding to life's pressures. There's so much more within you waiting to be unleashed.
 
QUESTIONS TO CONSIDER:
How do you remind yourself daily to do the work necessary for success?
What strategies do you use to overcome feelings of inadequacy when facing big problems?
How do you keep pushing your limits to expand your capabilities?
 
NOTABLE QUOTES:
"DO THE WORK!"
"Real power comes from facing a big obstacle where you feel too small."
"You must remind yourself of what you're made of."

THE DANGERS OF BOREDOM | Mindset Mastery w/ AZ Araujo
 
You're going to face challenges within your business; that's expected. However, encountering obstacles doesn't mean you should deviate from your plan. What it does mean is that you need to manage both the planned tasks and the unexpected issues simultaneously. Walking away from one situation to handle another can lead to inconsistency and a lack of progress in your original goals.
 
When you deviate from your original plan in order to focus on an unexpected hardship or obstacle, your distraction can lead to commitments not being met. It's crucial to maintain a routine and keep your focus on the next steps you need to take. Your job is not to become complacent but to maintain the discipline that got you to where you are. If you're reaping the benefits now but don't continue to do those things that got you to this position in the first place, there are going to be consequences down the line.
 
Many people excel at a high rate until they encounter a hardship or obstacle. The key is to constantly challenge yourself and avoid boredom, which can sabotage businesses, relationships, and financial stability. Boredom can lead to a lack of discipline, creating risks because a bored person may seek excitement in unproductive ways. This lack of focus and structure can undermine your larger vision and sense of urgency.
 
To stay on course, you must maintain your discipline and structure. A bored person who lacks these qualities often misses the bigger picture and the urgency required to achieve it. Are you challenging yourself daily? Are you sticking to your routines and living up to your commitments? Are you actively competing in your field?
 
Focusing on and prioritizing the right actions each day is essential for success. Make the necessary investments in all areas of your life to ensure continued growth and achievement.
 
QUESTIONS TO CONSIDER:
How do you manage unexpected challenges while sticking to your plan?
What strategies do you use to maintain your focus and routine?
What steps do you take to ensure you are making the right daily investments in all aspects of your life?
 
NOTABLE QUOTES:
"When you deviate from your plan in order to focus on an unexpected hardship or obstacle, your distraction leads to commitments not being met."
"Boredom creates financial risks because there is no discipline."
"You must focus on doing and prioritizing the right things each and every day."

CRISIS TO COMEBACK | Mindset Mastery w/ AZ Araujo
 
It's imperative that you work on improving yourself in all aspects of your life on a consistent basis to create a sense of purpose and drive. By continuously seeking growth, you ensure that you remain engaged and motivated, steering clear of the pitfalls of complacency and stagnation.
 
As a business owner, you understand that obstacles will come your way. Many agents are affected by these obstacles to the extent that they end up leaving the industry, while others struggle to simply hang on. You must anticipate certain challenges and adjust your actions accordingly, or you'll end up in a loop of disappointment, frustration, and stagnation.
 
Trusting the process is the most difficult part of it all. Consistently doing the right things over time will get you the results you've always desired, but you must trust yourself. Stay the course and don’t deviate from it. When an obstacle occurs, identify where you are and decide whether you will simply accept and adjust accordingly without reverting to your lowest form of habit. By maintaining focus and commitment, you can navigate through challenges effectively and continue moving towards your goals.
 
QUESTIONS TO CONSIDER:
How do you typically respond to obstacles in your business?
What strategies can you implement to anticipate and adjust to challenges?
Why is trusting the process so important?
 
NOTABLE QUOTES:
"It's imperative that you work on improving yourself in all aspects of your life on a consistent basis to create a sense of purpose and drive."
"Consistently doing the right things over time will get you the results you've always desired, but you must trust yourself."

SEEK AND YOU WILL FIND | Mindset Mastery w/ AZ Araujo
 
When you reflect on the theme of "seek and you will find," it feels like a call to action, doesn't it? It's not about idly waiting; it's about actively searching.
 
But often, as business owners navigating life, there's a misconception that external factors hold the key to our advancement. In reality, it's the internal journey—understanding our motivations, behaviors, and responses—that propels us forward.
 
You might think that piling on more resources—more personnel, software systems, leads, processes—will solve your problems. But ultimately, none of that matters if your actions lack consistency and integrity. Your character, your reliability, your trustworthiness—they're the foundation upon which all else rests. So, it's crucial to analyze ourselves, to delve deep within for self-correction.
 
Life itself isn't overly complex; it doesn't require more than what you already possess. The key lies in introspection. Every trial, every setback, furnishes us with invaluable lessons and experiences. They serve as the building blocks for overcoming present challenges and ascending to new heights. It's a realization that everything we need to progress resides within us, waiting to be unearthed through self-reflection.
 
Perhaps you're wrestling with challenges, doubting yourself, or comparing your journey to others. When you feel trapped, when circumstances seem to conspire against you, remember that purposeful action is the answer. It's about actively seeking solutions, taking decisive steps, planning, adapting, and persisting in the face of adversity. If you see a vision of a greater potential within yourself, know that it's attainable. The path forward requires taking deliberate steps towards self-discovery.
 
QUESTIONS TO CONSIDER:
How often do you find yourself attributing your challenges to external factors rather than looking inward?
In what ways can you cultivate greater consistency and integrity in your actions and decisions?
Reflect on a recent setback or challenge. What lessons did you learn from it, and how can you apply them moving forward?
 
NOTABLE QUOTES:
"It's not about idly waiting; it's about actively searching."
"Your character, your reliability, your trustworthiness—they're the foundation upon which all else rests."
"Progress demands initiative and determination."
