THE TOP “5” MOST DANGEROUS TRAITS FACING ALL REAL ESTATE INVESTORS AND HOW TO “AVOID” THEM!



I believe that 95% of all success in life and in real estate is based on your mindset and 5% is the implementation and execution. If you do not believe you can do something you will not do it...


As the saying goes... "Those that believe they CAN and those that believe they can't are both correct."


I have been coaching real estate investors and business owners for many years now and have seen 5 dangerous traits that cause many people to struggle in business and in life!


Here they are...


5. Negative Mind-Set


Negativity;  is a quality characterized by a person who is habitually skeptical. Periods of negativity can affect all types of people regardless of their personality which can also affect their performance. It is important to spend time with positive people.


Who you spend your time with has a great impact on who you are trying to be. Choose people who you are proud to know, admire, love and respect. Complaining, blaming or criticizing will not change a situation and will limit your opportunities...


Stop listening to negative people... Stop listening to negative music... Stop watching negative TV programs... etc


Instead, spend your energy looking for solutions and acting positively. Every time you subtract negative from your life, you make room for more positive.


I like to surround myself with positive people and I would encourage you to do the same.


4. Paralyzed With Doubt


Fear and doubt; are the guiding forces within us which keep us away from potential danger. All people have feelings of inadequacy but having the habit of self-doubt or second guessing yourself can literally paralyze you from taking critical steps you need in order to move forward. When making decisions without knowing what the outcome will be, can be scary but very important to build your confidence...


You cannot allow short term fear to stop you from taking action because you will see that whatever the outcome, you can persevere...


Hiding will not give you the growth you need and doubting yourself is not the answer.


If you need some help with this look for a mentor or a coach that can help you push through your fears and self doubt!


3. Scarcity Mentality


Scarcity mentality; the belief that there is not enough to go around. When you adopt this belief, you put yourself in a defensive mode when other people achieve success and because of their success it you think it contributes to your failure.


The scarcity mentality is like a plague that will only cause you to self-destruct...


There is enough real estate deals in the marketplace.

There is and abundance of money to fund your deals...

There are amazing contractors that can help you with renovations

There are experienced coaches that can teach and guide you towards success...


Do not become vulnerable or lose your true vision. Keep focused and have the abundance mentality...


Individuals with the abundance mentality reject the notion of zero-sum transactions and are able to celebrate the success of others rather than feel threatened by it. It arises from having a high self-worth and security which leads to the sharing of profits, recognition and responsibility.


If you want to create a life of abundance lets connect...


2. Having Win-Lose Relationships


Think win-win, not win-lose. A poor investor is one who believes that in order for them to become successful, they must make someone else unsuccessful or squeeze them for every penny... 


However, the true achievers understand that real estate is a long-term commitment and in order to be successful you must help others to do the same. All the people you meet on your journey to success, really will be the ones who helped you “win” the entire way.


Over the years I have had many people ask me why I teach others to invest in real estate...

They think that I am creating my own competition. I can tell immediately that they do not have an abundance mentality...


I believe that there is enough opportunity for everyone to be successful in real estate and it is because I am willing to teach others and share that I achieve success...


The more you put out into the world the more that will come back to you...


1.Quit Early In The Game


The only way to become successful is to make a plan, stick to it and follow it through no matter how tough things get. You must continue to move forward. This is your foundation...


“It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop.” -Confucius.  


Quitting too early and moving on to something new can only become a habit instead of a career. If you have a solid plan and a clear vision, your success is limitless.  Having the perseverance or the continued effort to do something despite difficulties, failure or opposition will put you on top of your game.


“Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.” -Thomas Edison
