If you can’t figure out what you’re working for or what you’re chasing after in this business, then today’s episode is just what you need. You might recognize my guest as New York’s Funniest Journalist. He spent some time on Fox & Friends talking it up about tech, but today Clayton Morris is talking about entrepreneurship and motivation. He’s going to help all of us investors figure out what it is that really inspires us to do what we do.
Finding out what you’re chasing after isn’t really a question that needs answering. It’s a lesson you learn over time. Clayton took the time to make the big mistakes and learn that lesson, and he’s sharing today how his biggest mistakes made it possible for him to be such a success story.
No matter where you are in your investment strategy, you need to stay focused on what motivates you. Don’t get distracted by what Clayton calls “the shiny objects syndrome”. Entrepreneurs – and especially investors – have a tendency to look for the next best thing. But bigger can mean more confusion, more risk, and more distractions. It doesn’t always mean better.
If you want to be a better investor, Clayton says to start with the basics. Be, Do, and Have are the three steps to Clayton’s amazing strategy that helped him organize his priorities and really uncover why he does what he does. His motivation comes from simply living in the moment and coming to terms with what he is doing as an investor. That’s the Be, the first and probably most important step of his strategy that we talk about today.
Being a better investor is only possible if you can be in the moment. That means being present. You have to take the time to understand your motivations and share them with others. It’s a truly rewarding experience that will benefit your business tenfold. Clayton Morris tries to help as many as he can with his specialized knowledge in both real estate and self-efficacy. Tune in now because he might just inspire you to take action.
