Developing Your Superior Mindset As A Real Estate Investor
Your Mindset Will Determine Your Success As A Real Estate Investor. What your beliefs are and the way you think are the two defining factors that will determine whether or not you will have success as real estate investor. These two defining factors are what is known as a mindset. A mindset is universally defined as a habitual or characteristic mental attitude that determines how you will interpret and respond to situations.
Two examples of individuals having incredible mindsets are Michael Jordan, and Tiger Woods.
Tiger Woods has a mindset and a core belief that every golf ball that he hits will go in, and every tournament that he plays in he will be victorious. All of his golf shots don't go in and he doesn't win every tournament, but is there any wonder why he has of this writing won 54 golf championships at the age of 30? It has to do with his mindset.
Michael Jordan is known as the best basketball player that has ever lived. But did you know that he was cut from his high school basketball team as a sophomore because at 5 feet 9 inches he was deemed to undeveloped?
Of course that did not deter him. He practiced even harder grew to 6 feet 6 inches and within the next two years became a high school All American.
He went on to establish a distinguished career, which included hitting the last shot to win the NCAA college basketball championship, winning 6 NBA titles, 5 league MVPs and a slew of other accomplishments.
Why was he such a winner? Why did he dominate?
Simply because of his mindset, he believed that he was a winner so he won, he believed that he was destined to dominate so he dominated. So let me ask you, what is your mindset when it comes to your real estate business?
Do you have super goals or mediocre ones? Do you promote your real estate business a little or a lot? Are you finding truly motivated sellers? Are you building momentum for your business or are you slacking off?
Whatever your case may be there is always room for improvement. For example, instead of being happy with doing a couple of deals in a year, develop the mindset and take the action necessary to do 50, 100, or even 300 deals a year.
Don't say that it can't be done because there are real estate investors who are achieving those types of numbers. Remember it's all about your belief system and the way that you program yourself to think. If you think that you can, and act on that belief chances are you will accomplish your goal.
So the message is simply this, when it comes to your real estate business, make sure that as a real estate investor and entrepreneur you develop a superior mindset that will enable your business to prosper and grow exponentially.
