0:38Hi, my name is Lewis Howes and welcome to The Daily Motivation Show.

0:50When did you really learn about how to manifest in your life? Was there a time or a season or a decade where you started to think a certain way when it came to either attracting the right clientele as a realtor, in terms of attracting the right homes that you wanted to buy and invest in, in terms of business deals that you wanted to do? Was there a season or time that you learned about manifestation? Making mistakes was probably the biggest teacher for me. Really? Um, not just making mistakes in my real estate business, but making mistakes in my personal life cost me so much time and so much money because, and I think the reason that I'm passionate about it is because like I went out and bought the Mercedes.

1:42I made$137 ,000 on one house. I went out and bought a Mercedes. I went on a shopping spree. And within 12 months, I was selling my Rolex at a pawn shop. Really? Yes, really. I was selling my car, my Mercedes. I was selling that Mercedes and buying. No, no, no. I didn't sell it first. I didn't sell it at first. At first, sit down. It was paid off because, you know, I made all that money. What you really don't realize. That went down in half after a few months. Well, what you don't realize is that you got to pay taxes on all that money. But anyway, so I buy the car and I realize I have a cash flow issue.

2:24So what do I do? I go get a tote the note at 27 percent. So you want to talk about, oh, Glenda, what would you do when I talk to you? I'm just telling you straight from the horse's mouth. I made this mistake. Don't make the same mistake I did. I went out and bought the fancy Rolex. That's why I have the$130 ring from Ross Simons. I mean, it looks fancy, looks nice. It works and matches my outfit today. So that's what I want people to focus on is like is like the mistakes that I made. Don't don't do what I did. Learn, learn from me. And so that, I mean, how do you manifest it? When I see, I never will forget, I saw this agent who sucked as a real estate agent.

3:18And that guy was making more money than he could count. Really? What was the secret? He was a good talker, but he was investing in POS houses. He was investing in these little houses and he was fixing them up and selling them and fixing them up and renting them. And I remember thinking to myself, somebody that is not as good as I am at real estate is doing a thousand times better than me. And every time I thought about going out and pissing the money away, I thought about that guy and it pissed me off. It made me so mad. It just made me crazy. And every time that I think about doing something that's probably, you know, impulsive or, um, ego driven.

4:12And, and I think that a lot of times you get caught up in being ego driven because it feels good when everybody looks at you and they think that you're successful. But for me, every single day, I focus on what moves me from here to there. And here is freedom for me. Freedom with my children, freedom with my family, freedom with my little grandchildren. My one and only goal is to be able to do whatever I want to do whenever I want to do it and not have to worry about going up another set of steps, not worrying about what next house I have to sell. And what turns me on is helping people, inspiring them.

4:57And so I just say to myself every single day, my name is Glenda Baker. Only amazing things happen to me. My name is Glenda Baker. I'm a woman of action. And my name is Glenda Baker. And everybody's going to know my name. And all I want to do is just help people build generational wealth through real estate. Wow, that's beautiful. And inspire them through my mistakes. Sure. Because we don't all need to make the same mistake. Let me have been the guinea pig.
