I was invited to a party the other night and having a vague knowledge of the party hosts, I really didn\’t feel like attending.
The fact of the matter is that I have been asked to go to gatherings just like this in the past where I pretty much don\’t know a soul, but at my girl friend\’s insistence, of course I did eventually go.
So why do I never want to go?
Through my own thinking I had created a sense of fear about attending the partywithout any sort of basis within reality.
When I thought about the party, I had envisioned myself standing there, alone in the corner,, desperately trying to find something to talk about with the people who were there – and of course no matter how desperately hard I tried, I struggled to make a connection. I never was able to find something that I could talk to other people easily about, the conversations awkward, plus the music playing too loud in the background and I was just plain miserable.
That is how I always pictured my party experience to turn out.
Haven\’t most of us, at least at some point in time, felt like this?
I\’m talking about the kind of parties you go to where you think to yourself you\’d actually rather be at the dentist than suffering through this agonizing torture.
But what if, instead of dreading the party, I had expected and pictured myself enjoying it?
So instead of being all by myself in the corner of the roomimagine if I had pictured being engaged in a great experience, surrounded by awesome and interesting people that were truly interested in what I had to say and contribute, taking part in great conversation, while enjoyable music played in the background, very relaxed and at ease, enjoying myself and my new found friends?
Now say I had pictured in my mind the above scenario, do you think I may have had an easier time attending the party, and possibly even wanted to attend the gathering?
The Mindset that You Need to Develop to Successfully Flip Homes
Envision for just a moment, that you are able to change this type of perception not just when faced with a party choicebut when you are about to make your first house flipping deal?
Lets say that you have worked your buns off for three years in an effort to start your house flipping career and finally, after years, you have found the perfect home for purchase. All signs are saying move forward, they\’re all telling you to go for it. You\’ve finally found a fair price, the financing is all lined up, you are sure of your expenses and know with 99% accuracy what you can get for resale.
Yet despite all this, you picture all going south, with the house sitting on the market for months and years, as you watch your margins dwindle-month by month
Now what are your chances of success with this negative mental attitude?
There is really no chance of success if you hold that type of mental belief.
Now, instead, picture the house selling for 1/3 more than expected, in less than 30 days, giving you and your backers a full return on their investment.
To be successful you must adopt this sort of mindset.
What this is not is just a wild assumption that everything will go right only because you think it ought to…far from it. You must have a good strategy that diminishes the odds of the bad deal – in oder to place yourself in a position to perceive value and wonderful feelings instead of thinking of the pain.
And most importantly to acquire the house flipping mindset, once you have done all that you need to then imagine success in your thoughts as to all you have to GAIN by doing the deal.
This is the mindset you need to flip houses and the first step to making any success real estate investing, or house flipping career.
