How Real Estate Investing Can Help You Build a Life You Don't Need a Vacation From

Erin Bradley: A Journey to Success
Erin Bradley is a successful speaker, trainer, best-selling author, and real estate industry expert. But her journey to success was not without its share of ups and downs. In this blog post, we will take a closer look at Erin Bradley's journey to success and the lessons she learned along the way.

Falling into the Mortgage Business
Erin Bradley fell into the mortgage business and quickly realized that she wanted to be a 100% commission salesperson as a loan officer because she craved freedom and flexibility. However, she struggled to implement most of the strategies she was being taught, as they did not feel aligned with her. As a result, she was $35,000 in credit card debt by the summer of 2008, just a year into being a 100% commission salesperson.

Hitting Rock Bottom
One day, a new client caught her credit card being declined for a $2 cup of coffee. Out of desperation, Erin Bradley did whatever it took and did not give up, with her father's advice in mind. This experience taught her that sometimes hitting rock bottom is necessary to motivate oneself to take action.

Finding Your "Why"
Erin Bradley realized that building a life you do not need a vacation from is essential. To achieve this, finding your "why" is important. Erin Bradley helps clients define their "why" by asking specific questions to expose their truth. The questions are designed to reveal the client's values, passions, and motivations.

Backward Goal Setting
Erin Bradley has developed a one-page plan that helps back into goals by reflecting on specific questions to expose one's truth. For instance, the three greatest happenings of the last year. Depending on the answers to these questions, goals may be anchored in business and finance or experiences that money can afford.

Embracing Failure
Erin Bradley advises listeners to be careful what they admire because many successful people are not happy. She suggests that people who feel fear should realize that it is common and not a unique experience. People who have achieved success have decided to create it despite their fears and insecurities. Taking action and making mistakes is part of the learning process, and failure is not really a failure but a step in the right direction. There is a solution to every problem, and people should have confidence in their ability to solve any problem.

If Not Now, When?
Erin Bradley embraced the philosophy of "if not now, when?" after realizing that life is unpredictable, and there is no time to waste. She experimented with her life by taking risks and chasing joy, such as buying a condo in the mountains, moving to a ski town, and homeschooling her children on an RV trip. Erin Bradley believes that life should be a series of mini-retirements, and chasing joy can make a significant difference in one's work energy and productivity. She also emphasizes the importance of finding balance, even if it means embracing downtime.

Morning Routine
Erin Bradley believes in taking time for oneself in the morning. She shares her routine, which includes meditation, affirmations, writing, and reading. She emphasizes the power of inspired action and helping others without any expectation of return, and encourages the audience to pursue freedom by taking action and giving themselves me-time.

Conclusion
Erin Bradley's journey to success was full of ups and downs, but she persevered and learned many valuable lessons along the way. From finding one's "why" to embracing failure and taking inspired action, Erin Bradley's insights are helpful to anyone who wants to build a life they do not need a vacation from.
