Develop The Mindset of a Millionaire and Succeed in the 21st Century

Every smart and successful real estate investor understands that the right mindset is a must if they are to succeed in the real estate business. Investing is only 20% strategies and 80% mindset. You can learn all the strategies there are in real estate (believe me there are lots of strategies being taught) but if you are thinking the wrong way, it will never work for you. Sure you might get lucky and do a few deals but you will probably end up losing it some where else if your mind is not right.

The main thing that keeps a lot of people down is FEAR. This emotion cripples a lot of people and business but with the right thought patterns you can eliminate your fear and once you have ridden your fear, can go on to great things for yourself.

It is an easy emotion to control, instead of fearing the past or future, live 100% in the present and live with courage, confidence and power. Anticipate success and you shall have success. When your mind is focused on positive emotions you will be able to crush barriers, nothing could stand in your way, but if your thought pattern is negative when things do not seem right, the same barriers will feel like mountains, impossible to keep moving forward.

A great exercise for you to do is write a list every morning when you wake up of the things you are grateful for. It could be anything from the eyes to read this article or for the sun coming up in the morning. Doing this exercise every morning will slowly shift your focus and put you in a positive mind frame.

Another important thing to remember is persistence will always win, you can never lose your belief that you are a successful real estate investor. If a deal does not go the way you thought, don't worry, take the lessons from that deal and learn from them. Guaranteed there is something even better just around the corner.

This is another great exercise I was told by somebody else, was to make a tape of yourself saying things like, "I am a successful real estate investor ", and then "Your name is a successful real estate investor", and "He/She is a successful real estate investor". Play the tape and you do not even have to sit and listen, in fact just go on with your day as normal except with the tape playing in the background. You can do this exercise for anything else. If you wanted to be more courageous, then instead of saying real estate investor you would simply say" I am courageous" and so on. Do this exercise for thirty days and come up with a list of five characteristics you would like to have. Eventually the sayings on the tape will set in your subconcious mind and great things will begin to happen!
