Best Backup Plan: Get Back Up
Written by Michael Riordan
The Best Backup Plan? Get Back Up.
Let’s be real—some hours hit harder than others. Some days drag you down. Some weeks just don’t let up. And in real estate, in business, in life… that’s part of the deal.
But here’s the truth: the best backup plan isn’t some magic solution waiting in your back pocket—it’s the get back upplan.
Resilience Is the Real Superpower
Resilience isn’t about pretending things are fine. It’s about refusing to stay stuck. When a deal falls apart, a lead goes cold, or the silence stretches too long—it’s the voice inside that says: I’m not done yet.
Stand up. Shake off the dust. Remind yourself why you started. Then take one more step forward.
Determination Is a Daily Decision
It’s not something you “have”—it’s something you choose, every single day. Determination is sending one more email when your fingers are tired. Making that extra call when your confidence is low. Writing that thank-you text, even if the response isn’t guaranteed.
The tiniest extra effort, done consistently, often becomes the biggest difference between staying stuck and gaining momentum.
Encouragement: Give It to Others, Give It to Yourself
Here’s the secret sauce: when you encourage others, you refill your own tank.
-
Text someone a compliment.
-
Send a quick “thinking of you.”
-
Celebrate someone else’s win.
Kindness is a boomerang—it always finds its way back to you.
So when you feel low, lift someone else. When you need encouragement, give some away. Build an atmosphere of goodness, and you’ll breathe it in daily.
Final Thought:
You don’t need a perfect plan. You just need the courage to get back up.
Do it with purpose. Do it with grit. Do it for those counting on you—including you.
Because the best backup plan? Is getting back up.
And when you do… send that text. Make that call. Write that message.
The ripple you start today could turn into someone else’s lifeline—and your next breakthrough.
