The Real Secret to Being Successful in Real Estate Investing

By Phil Hughes


One of the first things we tell our house flipping students is that in order to achieve success, you must use your mind and control it. Most people don't think of this as a part of real estate investing success - and are reluctant to use their minds to create the right mindset. But we teach them how to do it anyway.

However, mind control is one of the best things you can do to achieve any sort of success in life, whether it's in house flipping or any other business venture. What most people in real estate investing don't realize is that house flipping success is very much tied to how you think and ask for things from the Universe.

The three step formula for being successful in real estate investing:

1. Ask to be successful as a real estate investor

The first step you must do in order to achieve long-lasting success in real estate investing is to think to yourself what it is that you want and let the universe know it.

Take his seat, pull out a piece of paper and a pen and write down what it is that you want. Make sure you write it in the present. It might be helpful to say this" "I am so happy and I am also so grateful that I now make over $150,000 per year flipping houses is a full-time job". Be very clear on what it is that you want. State it positively and specifically so that the universe knows exactly what it is that you desire. If you ordered something on Hammacher Schlemmer, you and continue to click the "order" button until you received it would you? All you'd do is place the order, sit back, relax and wait for the item to arrive.

2. Act As If House Flipping Success Is Already There - Believe

The next step is quite simple: just believe that what you've ordered has already arrived. You need to believe that what you really want has already come, you must have complete and utter faith that it will arrive.

If you placed an order in a catalog, once you place it you KNOW it will come, you relax, kick back and know it will come. It's the same way with house flipping. Believe that what it is you asked for has already come to you and you are enjoying its benefits now. The minute you ask for your order the universe then rearranges itself to bring it to you.

3: Start to receive real estate investing success

Begin to feel incredible about it that you want. Get that same feeling that you would have when it arrives: have that feeling every single day. Visualize the success that you will have and start telling everyone you know about how successful you are. See the success as you visualize it in your mind.

Whatever you do, don't think about "the how", this does not serve you.When you start thinking about how it will come, you are sliding down the slippery slope of doom.Your job is not "the how". "The how" part of the equation is the one you have nothing to do with, it simply is not part of your job in this process.

Most people who have ever attracted anything great in their lives did not know how they were going to do it...all they knew is that they were going to do it. When most people don't get what they want especially after they have asked to receive it they get frustrated, discouraged or even depressed. Whatever you do, don't let this happen.

Don't accept this failure viewpoint, simply replace it with positive thinking and an undying faith though what you have ordered will come to you. Just have faith that what you asked for, is on its way to you. And when it arrives, you will feel fantastic.

Start feeling on amazing about this new found success. Feel the way you will feel once it arrives. . In fact, visualize yourself telling your spouse or your family or your friends about how much real estate investing success you have achieved. You need to feel it actually already having happened. You need it feel it deep within you. Then wait for it to come to you. Act every step of the way, as if you already received it.

It's simple: ask once, believe it is, and feel great about having received it.

And that is "The Secret" to house flipping success.
