Real Estate Investing and Partying with New People

Last week I was asked to attend a party but I did not know the party hosts very well and to put it simply, I really just did not want to go at all.

The truth of the matter is that I have been asked to go to parties just like this one, in the past, where I do not know anyone, but at my wife’s insistence, I always end up going.

What's the reason I did not want to attend?

Through my own thinking I had created a sense of fear about attending the party…without any real basis in reality.

I had imagined myself standing awkwardly in the corner, desperately trying to find something to talk about with the people who were there - and no matter how hard I tried, I struggled to make a connection. There was no common ground, the conversations awkward, add in some super loud music and I always managed to have a downright miserable time.

That is how I always pictured my party experience to turn out.

Have you ever had a party experience similar to mine?

These are the kinds of gatherings you go to where you think to yourself you’d actually rather be having a root canal than suffering through this agonizing torture….

But what if, instead of dreading the party, I had expected and pictured myself enjoying it?

Instead of sitting there, alone and miserable…imagine if I had expected to be surrounded by wonderful people interested in what I had to say, taking part in great conversation, while relaxing music played on in the background, very relaxed and at ease, enjoying myself and my new found friends?

If had pictured THIS scenario instead, do you think I would have still wanted to not attend the event?

The House Flipping Mindset Revealed

Imagine being able to change this perception not only when you are faced with a decision to go to a party…but how about when you make your very first deal on flipping a house?

Lets say that you have worked extremely hard, trying to launch your house flipping career and finally, after years, you have found the perfect home for purchase. All of the signs point to yes. Finally you have uncovered a good price, you have financing, you are sure of your expenses and you are 90% sure of the price you will get when you finally sell the property.

However you still picture everything going all wrong, with the house just sitting there on the market, as you watch your margins dwindle-month by month…

Now what are your chances of success with this negative mental attitude?

I'll tell you right now plain and simple-you don't stand a chance.

Be positive and picture the house selling for more than you expected, under one month, providing you and your financiers with an awesome profit on the deal.

To be successful you must adopt this sort of mindset.

What this is not is just a wild assumption that things will go well simply because you think it will...that is not it at all. You really need an awesome strategy and gameplan of steps that lessens the chance of a really awful deal - in oder to place yourself in a spot to receive value and wonderful feelings instead of thinking of the pain.

And most importantly to achieve this positive mindset, and once you have mentally prepared be sure to then imagine success in your thoughts as to all you have to GAIN by doing the deal.

This is the house flipping mindset and the first step to making any success real estate investing, or house flipping career.
