Cover article continued ... real estate funding, like what happened to me before I found private money. The top common trait all billionaires have is resilience. When life surprises them or the going gets tough, they don’t give up. Ultrasuccessful individuals are willing to make huge commitments and sacrifices to realize their dreams. In Business Bionetics, when Chaffee discusses the importance of resilience, he quotes Professor Albus Dumbledore from the “Harry Potter” books: “It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.” It doesn’t matter how talented you are; it’s only by making the choice to be resilient and stick to your commitments that you can move forward. Third Principle: Come From a Place of Giving I consider this to be the most important principle of Chaffee’s Business Bionetics. It is something I practice and have discussed many times with my students: the importance of having a servant’s heart. When you do business, it doesn’t matter if it’s real estate investing or anything else, you cannot come from a place of thinking, “What’s in it for me?” The people you do business with can tell when you’re only after your own best interests, and they will constantly wonder how you’re trying to take advantage of them. Instead, come with a mindset that what you are doing will help people. When you focus on helping others, nothing else matters. This means you need to be 100 percent convinced that the world would be worse off if you weren’t offering your product or service. Years ago, I got into some business opportunities solely to make money. This meant my focus was entirely on me and my own interests. Thank goodness I learned and grew out of that mindset. I’ve been able to raise and attract millions in private money because when I got into the business of private money, my focus was on what I could do for the people in my life. Right now, I’mworking with 48 private lenders, and because I came to them from a place of giving, their only complaint is, “Why didn’t you tell me about this sooner?!” Don’t get me wrong; the purpose of business is to make money. But the purpose of my business and my purpose are two different things. The purpose of my real estate investing business is to make money. My purpose is to serve people by going out and offering them the best value. When I fulfill my purpose, my business is able to fulfill its purpose. By approaching my business with a servant’s heart, I’m able to make sure there are four different people who win in every deal I make. The seller wins, the buyer wins, the private lender wins by getting high rates of returns safely and securely, and then my team and I win. It is entirely possible for everyone to win when your focus is on helping others. We’ve covered a lot, but I assure you this is only the tip of the iceberg from Chaffee- Thanh Nguyen and Business Bionetics.

TING INDROVES
2 Corinthians 9:6–7 "Now this I say, he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. 7 Each one must do just as he has purposed in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver." Hebrews 13:16 "And do not neglect doing good and sharing, for with such sacrifices God is pleased." Have You Heard the Good News … As It Relates to "Giving"
I take great pride in being able to offer valuable information frommy own experiences as well as wisdom from other industry leaders, like Chaffee. I look forward to seeing you at June’s event.
