Can you really become elite at anything? Chances are you’ve seen the movie "Top Gun" before. This exhilarating film showcased the almost unbelievably intense reality of being an elite pilot in the military. And behind many of those awe-inspiring stunts and scenes was John Foley, Blue Angels pilot, entrepreneur, real estate investor, public speaker, and all-around inspiring human being. John has performed these death-defying stunts for years and successfully became the one percent of the one percent of pilots. His key to success? Failing hard. As soon as John saw the Blue Angels perform as a child, he dreamed of doing the same. It took him eighteen years to accomplish his dream, but it came with a cost. Before hitting his performance peak, John made a flight mistake that could have ended his career and another pilot’s life. Thankfully, this ill fate was avoided, but John still had to live with the consequences of making such a massive mistake. As a result, John reframed and rewired his brain to be better, retain more, keep his composure, and be “glad to be here.” He’s made his way up to the highest level of flying and knows the key to elite success. The surprisingly simple method is laid out in today’s show, as John walks through the five steps he goes through every day to improve his life constantly, always be grateful, and never leave a day to waste. So if you want to push yourself to the next level, accomplish more than you think you’re capable of, and live more life in the moment, tune into this episode! 00:00 Intro 02:37 Quick Tip 03:25 Real Life Top Gun 07:07 Finding Your Blind Spots 20:31 Turning Failures into Success 24:28 Becoming Elite at Anything 37:17 Finding Your "Why" 44:15 Be Glad to Be Here 50:24 The 5-Step "Wonder Drug" 57:10 Reinventing Yourself 01:02:13 Connect with John! ~~~~ Join BiggerPockets for FREE 👇 https://www.biggerpockets.com/signup?utm_source=owned_media ~~~~ Grab Some BiggerPockets Merch: https://bit.ly/biggerpocketsswag ~~~~ Find an Investor-Friendly Agent in Your Area: https://www.biggerpockets.com/agent/match?utm_source=owned_media ~~~~ Navy SEAL Jocko Willink on Embracing Discomfort and Leading Through Extreme Ownership: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/biggerpockets-podcast-365-jocko-willink?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=description&utm_campaign=none ~~~~ Here’s Why Failure Is NEVER the End of Your Real Estate Journey: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/housewreck-failure?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=description&utm_campaign=none ~~~~ Connect with John: Website: https://www.johnfoleyinc.com/ Book: https://www.amazon.com/Fearless-Success-Beyond-High-Performance/dp/0692129898 Instagram: @johnguccifoley or https://www.instagram.com/johnguccifoley/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnfoleyinc/ Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-high-performance-zone/id1526208231 ~~~~ Connect with Rob (Robuilt) on YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and Twitter: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/Robuilt Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/robuilt/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@robuilto Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/robuiltchannel ~~~~ Connect with David and Rob on BiggerPockets: David: https://www.biggerpockets.com/users/davidgreene24?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=description&utm_campaign=none Rob: https://www.biggerpockets.com/users/robuilt?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=description&utm_campaign=none ~~~~ Follow David and BiggerPockets on Instagram: @davidgreene24 or https://www.instagram.com/davidgreene24/ @biggerpockets or https://www.instagram.com/biggerpockets/ Episode 713 Show notes at: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/real-estate-713?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=description&utm_campaign=none #biggerpockets #realestatepodcast #biggerpockets713
