Prove Yourself Wrong: Building Confidence in Real Estate & Life
The Voice in Your Head That Says “I Can’t”
Every one of us has that inner critic. It tells you I can’t run that race, I can’t start that business, I can’t make that call, I can’t leave this job. In real estate, it sounds like: I can’t ask for a buyer broker agreement. I can’t put myself on video. I can’t handle a luxury listing.
Here’s the truth: “can’t” is almost always code for I’ve never tried or I’m scared to try.
Why Doing the Scary Thing Builds Confidence
The biggest growth in my life has come from doing the things I thought I couldn’t—starting a brokerage with no roadmap, speaking in front of a room when my stomach was in knots, even just showing up to a workout when I didn’t want to.
Every time you take that step, you don’t just get the result—you get an identity shift. You stop being someone who’s “scared to try” and you become someone who can.
Why it matters: Confidence isn’t given, it’s built. The more you prove yourself wrong, the stronger you become—in real estate, in business, and in life.
Lessons From Real Estate
Common Fears Agents Face
Asking for client agreements.
Making cold calls or following up with expired listings.
Marketing yourself on video.
Hiring your first assistant or starting a team.
How Clients Experience the Same Doubts
Buyers and sellers feel the same fear: Can I afford this? Am I making the right move? Is now the right time to sell?
In both cases, the only way forward is through action. Doing the thing you fear most transforms you into someone who knows they can.
Why it matters: Las Vegas real estate is competitive—especially in Summerlin, Henderson, and master-planned communities where demand is high. The people who act despite fear are the ones who win opportunities.
Practical Steps to Prove Yourself Wrong
Decide what to do. Pick one thing you’ve been avoiding.
Acknowledge why. Write down the excuse holding you back.
Do it today. Growth doesn’t wait until you’re “ready.”
Figure it out later. Say yes first, trust yourself to learn in the doing.
Remember: The overcoming is the becoming.
Why It Matters for Your Business & Life
Every time you prove yourself wrong, you:
Rewire your self-image.
Build mental “muscles” of grit and determination.
Gain confidence to handle the next challenge.
In Las Vegas real estate, this means moving from hesitation to execution—whether that’s taking on your first listing in Summerlin, expanding into Henderson, or growing your business with a supportive team behind you.
