Quick Win: Success Happens After Many Failures Jul 02, 2021

Show notes

Planning to succeed the first time you try something? Think again. Failing — and failing many times — is typically an essential part of success. Take it from Henry Ford’s five failures before Ford Motor Company became an incredible business or Thomas Edison’s 1000 failures before he successfully created the lightbulb. Don’t stop trying after one failure. Success comes after many failures!

Quick Win: Removing Limiting Mindsets Jan 01, 2021

Show notes

Summary:

If you want to see the impact that a limiting mindset can have on you, think about this: removing the “t” from the words “can’t” and “won’t” turns them into “can” and “won.” So remove that limiting mindset and begin moving forward in life, knowing that you can start with a win every day.

Providing Homeownership Resources to Veterans with VAREP Nov 11, 2020

Show notes

Our guests on this episode of the Start With A Win podcast are Son Nguyen and Dustin Luce, co-founders of the Veterans Association of Real Estate Professionals (VAREP). Son served in the U.S. Navy for many years, and upon being discharged, he found himself uninformed about the programs available to veterans looking to buy homes, namely the VA Loan program. He made the realization that there must be other veterans out there who feel ill-equipped to start the home buying process. Additionally, veterans and members of the military want to have a rapport with their real estate professionals and know that they can trust them. They want to be able to work with someone who they feel understands them, especially coming from the military context.

VAREP was formed in 2011 to organize real estate practitioners who are focused on the military and to provide training to those who want to learn as a HUD Housing Counseling entity. Now they have 36 local chapters in 19 states, with 70% of their 7,000+ members being veterans. VAREP’s local chapters offer educational opportunities, they interview subject matter experts on their podcast, and their certification courses are offered on their website. They hope that more real estate agents, veterans, and civilians will become a part of their organization and learn how best to interact with and assist veterans through the home buying process.

Determination on and off the Field with Hall of Fame Quarterback Steve Young Apr 08, 2020

Show notes

Our guest on this episode of Start With A Win needs almost no introduction. Steve Young is considered to be one of the NFL’s greatest left-handed quarterbacks, but he would not consider his athletic success to be among his greatest achievements. Steve says that football is like a laboratory that teaches you about the hard work, adversity, accountability, and constraints that you will face throughout life and many of life’s lessons have started to work themselves out for him on the field.

When Steve was a freshman in college at BYU in 1983, an organization called Children’s Miracle Network was in its early days and Steve was asked to partner with them to bring awareness to the need for fundraising for children’s hospitals. At that time in his life, Steve had never been to a hospital and he was shocked to see how many children were suffering. Ever since that day, he has been involved with Children’s Miracle Network and he is continually inspired by the hope and determination displayed by the children he comes in contact with through the organization. We can all learn from the spirit demonstrated by these kids who believe that they will rise above their circumstances and find healing.

Steve says that as adults we lose a bit of our innocent belief in ourselves and those around us, thinking that life is a zero-sum game that no one really wins. But in reality, if we embrace the qualities displayed by the Children’s Miracle Network champion kids, we would find that through collaboration and banding together we can all win. So many people are limiting themselves unnecessarily by comparing themselves to others, but comparison is the thief of joy and will never serve you well.
