Sign into your account3 Mindsets Sabotaging Your Success in Real Estate
August 27 2015
Mindset: "The established set of attitudes held by someone." How could a mindset be dangerous; I mean, it's not like it's affecting anything, right?
When driving down the highway, I cruise on over to the second to the left lane ready for a long commute to work. I have my music on, and the morning so far is going pretty good. Then, out of nowhere this red SUV cuts in front of me and slams on his brakes! My immediate response is anger. How DARE you cut me off! The nerve of this guy. I proceed to swerve around him angrily, effectively cutting someone else off.
My mindset here is that people are intentionally doing things TO me. The only reason the jerk in the big, red, SUV cut me off was just to have his way – because he simply could and looks for opportunities to be rude. I took his actions personally, when in reality, he was just trying to cruise over to my lane, too, and avoid the near crash over to the right of him.
We all operate out of mindsets every day. They are shaped by our beliefs, values, and experiences. Those same mindsets then shape our actions and make or break our success in real estate. To change a particular mindset, it takes:
Willpower + Knowledge of your current mindset + a healthy mindset you are moving into + a plan of attack = life change.
Oh, and a good dose of humility – can't forget that one.
