Real
Estate Investing LIES Unveiled
by: Steve Majors
Let's get REAL about something - and quelch the LIES you
have been told about Real Estate Investing…
What I am going to
reveal to you are some basic truths about Real Estate
investing - truths that may totally affect the Real
Estate investments you have now - and certainly I intend
to modify the way you do Real Estate investing in the
future.
Let's get right to it -
and into the heart of the real estate investing issue…
You have been programmed
all your life to become what you are today - from
school, friends, relatives and, yes, your parents.
Recent studies show that
you are who you are now, more from what you learned
prior to age 8 than in anything else you have learned
since.
Now, that may surprise
you, but it is true that what you learned at the
earliest ages affects the way you make Real Estate
investments today, and the type of Real Estate investing
success you will have going forward!
Yes, that's a bit
shocking…
You see, if you grew up
in an environment where you heard things like “We can't
afford it”, “Be sure you have saved enough and have the
cash to buy it (i.e., never use credit)” or numerous
other phrases that you now hear yourself saying (you
know what I'm talking about - those times you catch
yourself "becoming your parents"…), it is because of
your early programming (from 0-8 years) and what you
were told about money, success and life in general.
That is controlling your
current income - and your success - or lack of it...
The things you were told
at that early, most influential age, are now creeping
out and affecting how successful you are in business, in
life and yes, in your Real Estate investing.
THERE IS GOOD NEWS
The greatest thing about
this fact - as horrible as it seems - is that you can
change the 'programming' - you have the power to do it!
You can reprogram
yourself in any way you want - have anything you want -
do anything you want…
All it takes is simply
to 'reinstall' the right kind of thinking.
And, it is easier than
you might think!
One of the best ways to
do that is to get a CD audio set from someone you like
to listen to - someone that thinks positively and speaks
of the life you want to live. Many home study courses
are available (yes, including mine) that are designed to
inspire and motivate you, while they teach you the
methods and secrets of real estate investing.
Purchase one - listen to
it, over and over - until you hear yourself speaking
that way, too
You see, we are all
simply creatures of habit and environment - if we allow
junk to get into our heads, all we will ever say is junk
coming out.
If all you listen to is
the bad stuff in life (like the TV news, most 'talk
radio' shows, those TV 'real life' shows that end up in
fights - you know the ones…, and even violent movies
where the language is nothing you'd ever expect to hear
from your own lips…), that is exactly what you will wind
up sounding like!
It is true - 'you are
what you eat' - and that counts just as much for what
you put in your ears as it does for what you put in your
mouth!
If you spend your time
around 'bar people', you'll speak and act like them. Not
that there's anything wrong with that, as long as you
made a conscious thought that it is what you want, but I
think you'd be much more successful at Real Estate
investing if you were listening to a successful person
teaching you about Real Estate Investing!
Now, let's get right to
the point about the various methods and concepts you
have learned about Real Estate Investing…
You may call yourself a
'real estate investing expert', but if you have to get
up every morning and wonder where your next check is
coming from, you aren't making real estate investments,
you are being employed in a Real Estate Investing JOB!
Yes, that's a
hard-hitting statement.
You see, I want you to
'get real' with yourself and simply admit it - Real
Estate investing is when you put money into a Real
Estate investment and then get some money out - 'real
estate investing' defined
Yet, it seems that most
people I meet want to attend my real estate training or
purchase my real estate courses that have to do with 'No
Money Down' (NMD) “real estate investing
Now, that kind of talk
just proves the point - you can reprogram yourself to
speak a different language - even if it doesn't make
sense!
A bunch of 'gurus' have
told you over and over again that 'No Money Down' is
real estate investing - even though you learned at an
early age that 'invest' means to put money into
something and get money out (see
http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=invest for
other definitions - none of them say 'No Money Down'...)
Now, it's not that 'NMD
Real Estate investing' is all bad - heck, my students
and I make several thousand dollars from these types of
'Real Estate investing' transactions every year, too.
Just don't lie to
yourself and say they are 'real estate investments', we
know very clearly that these are simply 'earned income'
from one portion of your real estate investing business
- the real estate 'job' portion - earned while in
transition from your 'corporate job' to your 'real
estate investing job' and on the road to true Real
Estate Investing.
In other real estate
investing articles, I cover some of the methods and
techniques you, too, can explore while moving from your
'corporate job' to your 'real estate investing job' and
you'll learn some insider secrets for taking that leap
quickly.
