Taking Control

I was talking to a mentoring group for one of my “competitors” today and was again surprised at the response I get to certain things.  I don’t mean this to be negative or condescending but I seem to so often have people looking wide eyed or inhaling their breath over things that I now consider “normal”.

I guess I am fully convinced that property investing as a business is not rocket science. it’s not particularly difficult and there is not that much “new” stuff you can learn really.

So what does separate someone who gets a result, (the minority), from those who don’t, (the vast majority)?

I believe it is a number of things but front and centre is that most people either don’t know how to or are unwilling to do what it takes to get control of their lives.

Shifting your internal culture isn’t easy. Everything within you will fight it, but it is the only path to lasting change.

The things you currently dream about must be moved to reality in the following order:

Dreams  >  Possibilities  >  Probabilities  >  Reality

And where do we all mostly get stuck??  Between the first and second progressions.

Taking control of your love life, your financial future,  your job or whatever is dependent on believing that it is possible.  And that can be huge. In fact whole industries, dreams and vision boards, visualising are ALL built around trying to facilitate getting you from dreams to possibilities.  If you think about that and the amount of events and companies who invest in this area you will start to see this is “the biggie”. Once you conquer this the rest is a walk in the park.

So if you want the results eventually you must commit to making it a possibility now!
