Luck vs Talent: Why Billionaires are successful

Kaizen is a mindset, those who strive to live it each day are the people who are making a difference in people's lives. The concept referrers to continuously improving all functions of a business and evolves all employees, including management. By embracing the skills of the whole organization and understanding that the smallest improvements will create a greater value over time.

Words consistency make up the fabric of what we think and even affect the decisions we make. Mr Robbins created the mnemonic "CAN!™", which he refers to as a true discipline that must be a consistent commitment backed by action.

The purpose of this blog is an experiment I began to develop an improvement mindset in my business. Using real estate as a vessel through which I translate by experiences and lessons I have learnt, I will document my own commitment to consistently improve and to consistently raise my standards. I hope, in return, to inspire those who read this blog to implement the same philosophy of Kaizen in their own lives.
