How to Change Your Mindset from Fear to Success When Flipping Houses
1. A couple of nights ago I was invited to attend a gathering
but the problem was I didn't know the party hosts, and to
be honest, I really didn't feel like attending.
2. The truth of the matter is that I have been asked to go to
parties similar to this in the past where I don't know the
hosts, but with my girl friend pushing me, I always end up
attending.
4. In my mind I had created fear of attending...which was not
at all based in reality.
5. When I thought about the party, I had envisioned myself
standing there, alone in the corner,, trying so hard to think
of something to talk to someone about - even though I
tried really hard, I struggled to make a connection. There
was no common ground, the conversations awkward, plus
the music playing too loud in the background and I was
just plain miserable.
6. That is how I always pictured my party experience to turn
out.
7. Haven't most of us, at least at some point in time, felt like
this?
8. These are the kinds of gatherings you go to where you
think to yourself you would rather actually be trapped at
the dentist office for a week than suffering through this
agonizing torture....
9. But what if I had tried to simply picture and expect a
different and better outcome?
10. So instead of being a loner, talking to no one in the
corner...imagine if I had expected to be surrounded by
wonderful people interested in what I had to say, fully
engaging in conversation, while relaxing music played on
in the background, very relaxed and at ease, enjoying
myself and my new found friends?
11. If had pictured THIS scenario instead, do you think, just
maybe, that I would have been more open to attending
the party?
13. Imagine being able to change this sort of perception not
only when faced with a decision about a gathering to
attend...but how about when you make your very first
deal on flipping a house?
14. Let's say you have worked hard to start your house
flipping career you discover the most perfect house
flipping property to buy. Every sign is yelling yes. Finally
you have uncovered a good price, the financing is spot on,
you have a handle on expected costs and you are sure
about what you will be able to sell the property for.
15. Yet you imagine the deal crumbling beneath you, with the
house just sitting there on the market, while you sit there
watching everything unfold around you, constantly losing
money...
16. What are your prospects of success if you continue with
this mental attitude?
17. There is really no chance of success if you hold that type of
mental belief.
18. Instead picture the house selling for thousands more than
your worst case price, in less than two weeks, providing
you and your financiers with an awesome profit on the
deal.
19. This is the sort of mindset you must adopt-the house
flipping mindset.
20. This is not a wild theory that all will go perfect just
because you PERCEIVE it will...that is not true at all. You
need to have a specific strategy of steps that minimizes
that odds of a poor deal - in order to place yourself in a
position to perceive value and wonderful feelings instead
of thinking of the pain.
21. Above all to acquire this positive mindset, and once you
have mentally prepared be sure to then imagine success in
your thoughts and focus on all that you have to gain from
the deal.
22. This is the house flipping mindset and the first critical step
to house flipping success.
