Knakal Knugget #70: Do not let fear be a thing.

There are times in our lives when we must do things that we are afraid to do - things that we fear for one reason or another.

That fear may be real or may just be imagined but if we are afraid then the fear is tangible. When faced with the situations we must move forward with conviction, always when it is the right thing to do or something that we really want for ourselves or our life. 

Eleanor Roosevelt sums this up nicely: 

“You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, ‘I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along’… You must do the thing you think you cannot do.”

When you are able to do this, to look fear in the face and take decisive action to act in the face of fear, the resulting confidence that you get can help elevate you to the next level. The next time you are faced with something you are afraid of, or to do, try to remember the strength that will be created within you when you have successfully faced these fears. Look at these opportunities as chances to grow, personally and professionally.

Getting out of your comfort zone is very empowering and builds self-esteem and confidence. We are all afraid of things. Look at that fear as an opportunity to grow and to put yourself in a position to be more successful.

Knakal Knugget #70 – Do Not Let Fear be a Thing

Bob Knakal 11 hours ago

Knakal Knugget #69: You have to have a positive mental attitude!

To have a positive mental attitude is so important and so powerful. Believe in yourself and the great things you can accomplish. Let positive thinking and determined willpower help you get there.

It is said that there is no problem or obstacle you can’t overcome with faith courage and a positive mindset. We all have obstacles and hurdles in our lives that we need to deal with. These things are often not easy to deal with. And sometimes we feel as if there is not much we can do and wonder where to start when trying to overcome these circumstances.

As I often say, we can really only control two things: our effort and our attitude.

With regard to effort, it is always important that we give it our all. Going half-way or having one foot in, one foot out, just doesn’t work. Half measures and trying to do things incrementally, normally don’t work.

To get big things accomplished, we need to take bold action and deliver an effort that is appropriate for the results we want to produce.

When it comes to attitude, how we react to our circumstances says a lot about us and how successful we are likely to be. It is important to remember that no one can “make us feel” a certain way. We choose to feel a certain way. And we can choose one reaction or another. It’s the old adage about the glass being half full or half empty.

To look at things with a positive attitude will change many things, increase the probability of success, and generally, make you feel much better. Choose positivity!

The roots of success reside in the mind. Believe in yourself.

Many professional athletes picture in their minds making the shot, hitting the ball, making the kick, etc. You need to see yourself succeeding. You have to believe in yourself and really believe you can succeed.

Success is often couched as the extent to which you achieve peace in your life. If we see good in any and everything, we will achieve more peace in life.

So, to achieve success, to find peace in your life, and to be happier, have a positive mindset. Effort and attitude folks! Make that attitude a positive one!

Celebrating 40 Years in Commercial Real Estate: A Heartfelt Thank You to My Clients

Making informed decisions is paramount. my years of experience have taught me valuable lessons. It's an ever-evolving landscape, and it's crucial to approach it with wisdom and clarity. Here are the key takeaways I'd like to share with you:

1. Challenging Assumptions: It's imperative to scrutinize the assumptions upon which we base our decisions. Don't take them at face value; dig deep to ensure you're on the right track.

2. Market Dynamics: Our industry, like life itself, experiences ebbs and flows. Understanding market dynamics, particularly the ebb and flow of supply and demand, is fundamental to making sound investments.

3. City's Allure: As long as our cities remain attractive places for people to live and work, the fundamentals of real estate endure. Location is, and always will be, the beating heart of our industry.

4. Cyclical Properties: Properties have their own cycles, akin to life's own ups and downs. Embrace these cycles, and stay adaptable in response to changing value and demand.

5. Office Market Gap: The office market presents a unique challenge with a significant gap between new constructions and existing properties. Let's collectively bridge that gap with innovative solutions.
