Getting into the Game of Real Estate

Getting into the Game of Real Estate is 80% psychology and 20% mechanics. I can teach you the mechanics of doing what you need to do that allows you to acquire 1,2, 20, 50, maybe even 500 properties. However, for that to work, you need to believe that you can!

You need to believe that with your current finances (or even lack thereof), your current bills, time commitments, and your current self image, and possibly a peer group that is heavily steeped in victim thinking, that you can transcend all those limiting thoughts, fears and your identity as a person who doesn’t have much because it is very hard to get more.

That is the mental game: you can be a real estate mogul. As part of that journey, you will get to the point where you can tell your boss what you really think. And when his or her insecurities about hearing the truth prompts them to fire you, you can say “F@*% you, I don’t your silly paycheck anymore. My paycheck from you is so small, it can’t even go to the bank by itself.”

I recently attended a talk where Slava Rubin, the former CEO of Indiegogo, a billion dollar company, worked the first 3 years completely unpaid, in fact he “paid to work” by pouring his savings into the business.  His significant other, who worked at a non-profit (not the world’s highest paying industry) was his “sugar momma” during those times. Now he is a multi-millionaire.

How does this happen? Belief? Yes, more than anything else. A certainty in the benefits of the outcome.

You can’t do this just for you. Selfishness creates very temporary motivation. A pickpocket can see an opportunity for a quick ripoff and make a little money. But to be work for years to become a millionaire, you are doing more than serving you. You are serving the people you love most, you are doing something for the greater good.  You need to tune into that. What can you do for the world once you become successful? How can you pour love into the world?  Feel that amazing sensation when know you could save babies in Africa, cure blindness in India and heal cleft palates in Mongolia.  Let that carry you through the tough times.

As Rhonda Byrne says, “Giving is a powerful action to bring more money into your life, because when you are giving you are saying, “I have plenty.”  When you feel poor, give to somebody, even if it’s just having a short stack of one dollar bills in your wallet that you can hand to anyone who asks, regardless of if they fit the persona you normally would donate money to.

One of the biggest components to a mindset change is having an accountability partner.  Contact me, or find someone you click with to do a daily check in. Are you really working 3 things that move you forward every single day. If not, start today.
