A belief that changes everything: you don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need to trust that you can figure it out. Tara Allen shares the mindset that turns obstacles into momentum.
This month I am sharing a series of my beliefs and this is one of my favorites: Everything is figureoutable.
This is one of the most powerful ways you can choose to live your life. And yes, there are rare situations, but 99% of the time? You can figure it out.
I’ve taken on many challenges and faced many obstacles in life and business just like you have.
Starting from zero
In my first year in real estate, I set a goal to be Rookie of the Year for the Region.
I started with no database, had never bought a home, and had no money saved to start. So I cashed out a $6,000 401K and went on to sell 66 homes without knowing one person I helped—and won Rookie of the Year not just for the region, but for the entire National Company.
I didn’t have it all figured out. Not even close.
There were conversations I didn’t know how to handle. Situations I had never been in. Moments where I felt completely in over my head, rejected, defeated, working long hours, and with no clue if it would work.
But quitting was never the option. Figuring it out was.
So I asked questions. I practiced. I failed. I learned. I adjusted. I kept going.
How you handle hard things is everything
And that’s what I’ve learned: How you handle hard things… is EVERYTHING.
Because believing in this belief will give you courage. Not believing will make you play small and not live to your fullest potential.
When you believe everything is figureoutable… you stop looking for reasons why you can’t and start finding ways that you can.
- You become resourceful.
- You create win-win opportunities.
- You move faster.
- You solve more problems.
- You get more done than most.
The cost of the opposite belief
But when you don’t believe this? You hesitate, overthink, say no to opportunities you are not ready for, or worse—you don’t even try to begin with. That’s the cost.
The people who win in business and in life aren’t fearless. They just trust themselves to figure it out.
- They take action before they’re ready.
- They don’t get paralyzed by “what if.”
- They build confidence by solving, not avoiding.
The real question
So here’s the real question: Are you someone who stops when it gets hard… or someone who figures it out no matter what?
Because when you become the kind of person who always figures it out… there is nothing in your life that can stop you.
So the next time you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure… don’t say: “I don’t know what to do.” Say: “I don’t know yet but I will.”
And then go prove it—because I believe ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE & EVERYTHING IS FIGUREOUTABLE!
