The investor mindset reflects in the way we think about ourselves. The way we think about what we can accomplish will have a greater impact to help achieve our dreams than any skill or talent we wish to acquire.
Think and Grow Rich with the Investor Mindset
One of the greatest books of all time in business is “Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill. This book is a product of 20 years of research and interviews of the most successful people in history including Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, John D. Rockefeller, just to name a few.
Hill used the information he learned from the interviews and summarized it in 13 steps to success.
The accomplishments of the successful people he interviewed started from their desire to be and the believe that it will come true. From these interviews, he summarized this important mindset in these lines:
Napoleone Hill shares:
If you think you are defeated, you are.
If you like to Win, but you think you can’t, it’s almost certain you won’t.
If you think you’ll loose, you are lost.
Success begins with our will,
It’s all in the state of mind.
Wow that is amazing, specially coming from analyzing super successful businessmen and women, who have surpassed various challenges during their time and emerged victorious in their own respective industries.
I know this may sound crazy, but it is true.
Change your way of thinking
Keep in mind that all the real estate knowledge you can learn and skills you can acquire will only represent 20% of your success, the remaining 80% will be your right state of mind.
So to wrap this up, if you can see yourself as a millionaire real estate investor, you are much closer to the success than you think.
Instead of thinking “This can’t be done,” change it to “How can I do it?”
Don’t say “I don’t have the money,” instead use “ “How can I find the money?”
This is important because if you can control your thinking nothing can stop you.
Don’t let your thinking make you believe that you can’t invest in real estate because you don’t have money or credit, or there is too much competition for deals or real estate investing does not work.
As a real estate investor, you are going to live a roller coaster of emotions. It will require time to see the results and it will take you out of your comfort zone. However, with the right mindset, you love what you do and never lose sight of your plan, you will get there.
Invest in your thinking as much as you invest in real estate.
Remember if you can conquer your own thinking and have the positive mindset that you can do it, the rest will come easy.
As a final comment as Henry Ford once said: If you think you can or whether you think you can’t, you are right.”
