J.K. Rowling failed 12 times to get her book Harry Potter published.

In the mind of many, failure is perceived as a bad thing, something to be avoided. Yet we all fail at times: That is a pre-requisite for success.
Every day I deal with clients struggling. To save a deposit. To find a suitable house to buy. To pay down the mortgage.
Persistence is the key. The hard road endured is instructive; You learn how to overcome the obstacles, how to budget, how to manage. Persisting enables you to succeed.
Only in set-back and challenge, can we appreciate success. Those who do not quit and keep trying, eventually succeed.
Most importantly – do not try to do it all yourself! Buying a home is a road many have travelled.
As Groucho Marx said:
Learn from the mistakes of others. You can never live long enough to make all of them yourself.
