Just the other day I was invited to attend a party however I barely knew anyone who was attending, so in other words, I really didn't feel like attending.
The truth is I've been invited to functions just like this in the past where I don't know the hosts, but with my girl friend pushing me, of course I did eventually go.
Why didn't I want to go?
In my mind I had created fear of attendingwithout any real basis in reality.
When I thought about the party, I had envisioned myself standing there, alone in the corner,, desperately trying to find something to talk about with the people who were there - and of course no matter how desperately hard I tried, I struggled to make a connection. I never was able to find something that I could talk to other people easily about, the conversations awkward, plus the music playing too loud in the background and I was just plain miserable.
As sad as it sounds, that is how I always envisioned my party experiences.
Haven't most of us, at least at some point in time, felt like this?
I'm talking about the kind of parties you go to where you think to yourself you'd actually rather be at the dentist than suffering through this agonizing torture.
What if I had instead expected a much better and more enjoyable outcome?
So instead of being all by myself in the corner of the roomimagine if I had pictured being engaged in a great experience, surrounded by awesome and interesting people that were truly interested in what I had to say and contribute, taking part in great conversation, while enjoyable music played in the background, very relaxed and at ease, enjoying myself and my new found friends?
What if I had chosen to envision the above scenario, do you think I would have still wanted to not attend the event?
The Mindset that You Need to Develop to Successfully Flip Homes
Envision for just a moment, that you are able to change this type of perception not just when faced with a party choicebut when you are about to make your first house flipping deal?
Imagine that you have worked very hard for over a year in an effort to start your house flipping career and finally, after years, you have found the perfect home for purchase. Every sign is yelling yes. The price is absolutely right, the financing is spot on, you know how much renovations will run and you are sure about what you will be able to sell the property for.
But you imagine everything going wrong, the home just sitting there with no interest from buyers, as you watch your margins dwindle-month by month
What are the chances that you are you going to do this house flip?
You really don't stand a chance at all.
Now, instead, picture the house selling for 1/3 more than expected, in less than 30 days, giving you and your backers a full return on their investment.
To be successful you must adopt this sort of mindset.
What this is not is just a wild assumption that all will go perfect simply because you think it will...that is not it at all. You really need an awesome strategy and gameplan of steps that minimizes that odds of a poor deal - so that you can position yourself in a position to perceive value and awesome experiences instead of thinking of the pain.
First and foremost to achieve this type of house flipping mindset, once you have done all that you need to then create a picture of success in your thoughts and focus on all that you have to gain from the deal.
This is the house flipping mindset and the first critical step to house flipping success.
