In 1994, I sold that business and decided to get into the real estate business. And a partner and I started developing commercial real estate. And after four or five years, we had a portfolio of over $140 million. $140 million of shopping centers, office buildings, medical buildings, things of that nature. And we were on a roll, and I thought at that point I could never lose at anything in my life.

But, I did learn a huge lesson like so many other people in 2008 and 2009. There was a devastating downturn in the real estate market, and we saw our whole lives come before us. We were losing cash so quickly. It was frightening. And at the time, losses were so big that people were jumping out of buildings and doing all kinds of crazy things. And we just decided to fight. We decided to trust God and fight and try to fight our way out of it. And we did! You see, business is about structure and positioning…. I was, with GOD’s help, the Houdini in this area. Again, we had an attitude of never giving up. If you have that attitude, it’ll be amazing what you can accomplish. I tell you – life will not be problem-free, but it will be successful for you if you have that attitude of tenacity and never giving up.

I’ll never forget what my wife told me recently. As she came down the stairs, she looked at me and she said: I love your discipline. She said: I’ve been thinking about your discipline. And I said, oh, tell me what you mean by that. She said, well, I’ve watched you every day for years and you wake up early each morning and you spend your time praying for people and reading your devotionals. And then you go to train at the gym and try to keep yourself in some kind of physical shape and take care of yourself; then you get ready and go to work. When your day is finished, you come home with a positive attitude and spend time with your family. She says: I just love your discipline. She continued, you’re such an encouragement, a positive force; a lot of people can learn from your quiet example. And I thought to myself, that is my discipline and that’s what I’ve created over all these years. I’m going to be that positive force for the rest of my life. I’m going to be careful what I say – because words are powerful, and you can never take something back that you said. I remember someone telling me that you never have to take back a word that you did not say. Very important to learn this….you measure your words carefully. Be a positive influence – be the positive influence in the room when everybody’s negative.

I learned from that – to be a blessing to others and to teach others what I’ve had to learn the hard way. But when I got started in business….. I want to share this with you, and then I’m gonna, conclude….. I realized I was not in the transportation business at all. I realized that I was in the people business, and I realized that people drove trucks, people bought products, people did everything. Therefore,  I became determined to get really good at relating to people and being the best person, I could be so that I could be successful in my business. And I worked on myself because I knew I had to relate to people from all walks of life; from the CEO of a company I was doing business with down to the person who’s loading the truck on the dock. And that’s what I did.” Remember, a Dream with tenacity and a positive attitude will carry you a long way.”
