Rejection is Inevitable

Randy J. Millet Author Interview

For Such a Time as This chronicles your journey from a working-class life in Louisiana to multifamily real estate success, blending candid storytelling with faith-driven resilience and practical insights. Why was this an important book for you to write?

This book was written in real-time while I was negotiating and closing my first deal. It was born out of business journaling. As my dream was becoming a reality, I realized how much I had learned and the transformation that took place to bring me to this point. After watching countless RE Investors give up, I knew I had a story to tell and an obligation to share that nothing is beyond one’s grasp.

Can you share a specific moment when you almost gave up, and what kept you going?

The closest I got to giving up was when I terminated the contract for a 31-unit building and was able to back out without losing my earnest money deposit. The deal presented challenges that I wasn’t prepared for and I had gotten really close to losing investor money. What kept me going was the encouragement from my coach and reassurance that I made a smart, calculated decision. At first, I felt like a fraud, but my mentor showed me that in fact, I was acting like an experienced investor.

What advice would you give to someone facing rejection in their journey to success?

Rejection is inevitable, don’t shy away from it. Lean into it and take note of what went wrong and why. Plug the holes and try again as a better version than before.

How did your faith shape your approach to the challenges and risks of real estate investing?

From the moment I decided to get involved in REI, I chose to do it for the glory of God, and through the ups and downs, wins and failures, I knew God’s hand was on me. As long as I was doing His will, I knew success was inevitable in His perfect timing.
