When I talk about the real estate investing mindset and how you, as an investor, ought to look at things…
Most of what I tell you is on you, isn’t it?
Now some people don’t like to hear that…
Some prefer to pin the blame on something “outside” of themselves…
Things like the interest rates, the unemployment rate, housing prices and all the rest.
But that kind of thinking leads to inaction, and inaction leads to failure doesn’t it?
It’s also a personal disaster for you.
When you really think about it, it becomes quite obvious why that would be…
Are you in control of your life?
When you blame outside factors for failure, or credit them for your success for that matter, do you know what you are really doing?
You’re telling yourself that you don’t have control over your life, much less over your business or investing plans.
The hard truth is that when you do those things, when you look outside of yourself for causes and excuses…
You are giving up your own power of self-determination…
You DON’T EVER want to do that!
Because when you do, you have set your mind to that way of thinking about investing…
And you tend to think about the rest of your life in much the same way.
By doing that, you have created your own, very limited reality…
Where you are helpless, like a corked bottle, being tossed about on a raging sea!
Why would anyone want to live his or her life like that?
But the truth is…
It’s how most people live their lives.
Who would ever wish to admit such a lack of self-control and responsibility?
It doesn’t make much sense, does it?
Don’t let yourself down again!
Well, actually it does make quite a bit of sense…
If you’re one of those people—again, one of the vast majority–who are afraid of growing and of learning new things and taking responsibility for your life.
How do you know if you’re one “those people?”
Well, are you living pay cheque to pay cheque?
And if you are, do you have a plan in place to change that reality?
Do you have a path or system that you are actively following that will lift you out of your current financial circumstances?
The answer to that one might just sting a little…or a lot!
This is a bit of tough love here…
But as most of you should know by now, I provide everything you need to know, to study, to take on board and become a successful real estate investor…
And if you’re not moving forward in your own real estate investing career, then tell me, why not?
Better yet, explain that one to yourself!
If you’re feeling uncomfortable right about now, that’s a good thing…
But if you’re not, you should be…
Otherwise, stop reading and go about your normal routine!
Why not you?
Now, for the rest of you, I strongly suggest that you read the many iLoveRealEstate.tv success stories…
There are so many wonderful stories from so many different people that have made the leap from financial disaster to financial freedom, you can’t help but find inspiration from them…
And maybe a hard lesson or two that you may just need to learn right now!
Becoming a different person than you are right now…
That is, becoming your own real estate investing success story isn’t impossible…
It’s just impossible if you stay on the same path you’re on right now!
That’s why my Premium Video on The Millionaire Mind is so important…
You don’t have to wonder how to think or even what to think or begin doing to get yourself out of the small reality you’re living now…
And get yourself well on your way to creating the future that you want.
It’s not magic, it’s not wishful thinking and it’s certainly not the easiest thing you will have done in your life…
The process works for everyone!
But it is the process that works for everybody and that you need to follow and internalize…
Beginning with changing your mindset and how you view life and the world around you.
Then, you’ll have to follow up those changes in your outlook with the right action steps…
Some of those steps might be a little bit out of your comfort zone…
In fact, I know they will be!
But that’s the whole point of growing, of learning new things…
That process gives you the knowledge, tools and contacts to move forward in your life…
And begin your new life as a successful real estate investor with a portfolio that gives you your freedom.
Your success in real estate investing, or in any venture or project, ultimately depends on how you direct yourself, your outlook, your preparations and your actions…
That should make you feel fantastic…
After all, who do you want in charge of your life, of your future, if not you?
