This journey has landed him in the Hall of Fame for two different prominent real estate mentorship programs. He is also now a best selling author.

Rob shares his 8 step formula for achievement with us that can apply to any aspect of our lives:

1. You have got to be done.
2. Get uncomfortable and then take action.
3. You must create the wave of momentum.
4. Prepare now for what’s coming.
5. You must be open to the unexpected.
6. You won’t always feel like your winning.
7. Understand the law of exposure.
8. You won’t do it alone.

Rob is a huge advocate of coaches in every aspect of his life in order to continue to build success. Set 1, 3, and 5 year goals and then develop quarterly action plans to pave your path of success. Coaches will not only guide you but also help to hold you accountable. You should always invest in yourself.

Achieving Success On a Curved Road – Key Takeaways

“Addicted to Life” by Rob Rowsell

• This book is relatable for everyone, including auto repair shop owners and managers.
• Readers are leaders, so start by reading a few chapters every couple days.
• Addiction can be to things other than drugs and alcohol, such as food, television, or sex.
• “You can’t coast uphill”. You are either getting better or getting worse, and you cannot coast success.
• Small successes can often slow momentum. For example, losing weight is a success, but maintaining your healthy weight is long term lifestyle. You can’t get complacent after just one small success.
• Get outside of your comfort zone, or you aren’t growing and learning.
• Success is a curved road, and you can only see so far until you get to a curve.
