House Flipping and Party Invitations

Last week I was asked to attend a party and having a vague knowledge of the party hosts, I really didn't feel like attending.

The fact of the matter is that I have been asked to go to parties just like this one, in the past, where I pretty much don't know a soul, but with my girl friend pushing me, of course I did eventually go.

So why do I never want to go?

I had, in my mind, created a false sense of fear of attending…which, thankfully, was not at all based on reality.

When I thought about the party, I had envisioned myself standing there, alone in the corner,, trying so hard to think of something to talk to someone about - of course no matter how hard I tried, I always struggled to make a good connection with someone. There was no common ground, the conversations awkward, add in some obnoxious music and I always had a bad time.

This was how I had pictured myself at this party.

Have you ever had a party experience similar to mine?

These are the kinds of parties you go to where you think to yourself you’d actually rather be having a root canal than suffering through this agonizing torture….

But what if I had tried to simply picture and expect a different and better outcome?

Instead of sitting there, alone and miserable…imagine 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 my favorite music played in the background, very relaxed and at ease, enjoying myself and my new found friends?

How about if I had expected an experience more in tune with the above mentioned party, do you think I may have had an easier time attending the party, and possibly even wanted to attend the gathering?

The Mindset that You Need to Develop to Successfully Flip Homes

Imagine for a moment being able to alter this sort of perception not just when faced with a party choice…but how about when you make your very first deal on flipping a house?

Lets say that you have worked your buns off for three years in order to begin your career in real estate you find the perfect house flipping opportunity. Every sign is telling you to move forward with the deal. The price is absolutely right, you have good financing, you know how much renovations will run and know with 99% accuracy what you can get for resale.

But you imagine everything going wrong, with the house sitting on the market for months and years, while you sit there watching everything unfold around you, constantly losing money…

What are your prospects of success if you continue with this mental attitude?

There is really no chance of success if you hold that type of mental belief.

Now, instead, picture the house selling for 1/3 more than expected, under one month, with you walking away with a very tidy profit for you and your joint venture partners as well as your financers.

This is the sort of mindset you must adopt-the house flipping mindset.

What this is not is just a wild assumption that everything will go right simply because you think it will...that is not true at all. You must have a good strategy that diminishes the odds of a really awful deal - so that you can position yourself in a spot to receive value and wonderful feelings instead of thinking of the pain.

Above all to gain this type of house flipping mindset, once you have done all that you need to then imagine success in your thoughts as to all you have to GAIN by doing the deal.

This is the house flipping mindset and this is how you will be most successful.
