It Takes Action Not Luck to Become A Successful Real Estate Investor

January 10, 2025

There is no such thing as luck in real estate investing. It’s not luck when you’re out there looking for something, and it happens. That’s about being educated. That’s about knowing what you’re looking for and acting on it. I always say, there are opportunities around us every single day. It all comes down to:

If we recognize the opportunity.
Whether or not we educate ourselves and take action.

When you’ve educated yourself, can recognize opportunities, and understand how to take action with your knowledge and turn it into deals it is not luck. That’s all skill. That’s learning skills and applying the knowledge to get results. That’s working smart. We always say you can work hard, or you can work smart. Which would you rather do?

Work Smarter Not Harder

Working smart means that you apply yourself and focus on learning all of the information available about becoming a successful real estate investor. If you put forth this effort, you will be able to focus on results, not time.

Efficiency – to work efficiently you need to prioritize. What is the most important thing you need to focus on? Start with that and try and resist the temptation to multi-task. Working on your most important tasks first will prevent you from taking up that time working on activities that won’t help further your business.
Wasting time – this goes along with efficiency. It is very easy to set your sights on the tasks that are easy—but these might not be activities that will help your business.
Focus on results, not time – measure your progress by looking at your results. They will speak for themselves.
Automate – this is a key to success as your business grows. Automating your business saves time and allows you to put your focus on growth. Systems like ProfitGrabber can help you automate many of your business activities.

Change Your Words, Change Your Life

January 3, 2025

You might hear many successful business owners say that success is all about mindset. When you start using the right words and influence your life with positive thoughts, good fortune starts playing its role. The fact is true in the real estate investment industry as well.

Generally, there are two types of thoughts that keep influencing our mind all the time – positive and negative. Where positive thoughts can help you build a strong mindset with a productive, energetic and successful lifestyle, negative thoughts often pose limits on our vision and undervalue achievements.

Indeed, thoughts have a great impact on performance and confidence level. To achieve success in the real estate investment business, you’ll need confidence and consistent performance. In order to make people feel good about your business and real estate investing deals, be positive about your work. The moment you change your thoughts, it is possible to change your life.

Research carried by psychology professor, Barbara Fredrickson, reveals that people who have a positive mindset have more potential to make wise decisions even in complicated situations. This, as a result, ensures better conversion of leads into sales in the real estate market. Positive thoughts help give you the ability to create momentum, tackle any obstacles, and give the best service to potential clients.

Scientists have presented the “dispositional effect” to study the personality trait of individuals based on their ability to see things negatively and positively. They conclude that people with positive dispositional affects are likely to stay more energetic and their enthusiasms play a greater role in every sector as compared to those who have a negative effect.

In order to succeed in the real estate investing business, showcase that positive energy within you. It will also attract the buyers and sellers towards your business venture, and you can naturally close more sales.

Even if things don’t go as planned, it doesn’t mean that you’re not going to keep moving forward toward achieving your goals. Be persistent. Use positive thinking to keep you motivated to perform better to achieve your goals. Decisions that are led by a positive mindset often ensure higher returns in the real estate investing market.

In short, if you want to change your life, wish to be successful with your REI career, start developing a consistently positive mindset. Take the time today to really gauge where you’re at mentally. Are you primarily thinking about positive or negative thoughts? If there’s room for improvement, change those thoughts and words, and watch how your life will make a shift. Change your words, change your life. It’s a reality to embrace.

Motivations to Help you Leave Bad Habits

For everything in life, it is a great benefit to have a circle of trust. A circle of trust is a group of people you keep close.

These people are also there to tell you truthfully that you are wrong. Rely on these people to help hold yourself accountable when trying to break a bad habit.

2. Cheat Day

Many great athletes have a cheat day. This can be used for every habit you want to change. It is a day once a month or a week (better once a month) when you can indulge the habit you are trying to break. If you have a strong mind and can control yourself this is a good thing for your ultimate goal. If you have a lot of trouble with your change then maybe this will not help you. That is a choice that you have to make.

3. A Kind Reminder

When you’re having a tough time breaking your old habits, remind yourself why are you doing this in the first place. Remind yourself why this is a bad habit, and what the consequences are if you continue with this habit. Remind yourself what are the benefits that you will gain and who will this change affect.

Mindset is everything, create the habit of a positive perspective.

4. Quick Fix

Create some measures for critical moments. “If I do this, then I will do this”. Habits are something we repeat each day countless times, so if you have some well-known triggers, find some measures to dismantle those triggers. This can help you become more creative.

There are many ways to help yourself loose bad habits and keep good ones. Before you do anything new, take some time to research information on your habit. Find out what the best practices are to break your specific habit. Take tips from others, as sometimes they might help! This will be helpful in your battle. Be strong and you will preserve!
