There’s a lot of information out there that focusses on the technicalities of investing in property.

In fact, there’s so much content available on property investing strategies that most people are just too overwhelmed to do anything!

Today, I want to take a look at some of the invisible qualities of a successful property investor…

It’s time to switch off from all the noise around the latest strategy, how to get the best finance or where the most profitable hotspot is.

No contracts, no feasibilities, no agents, no banks

Let’s get down to brass tacks… the stuff most educators don’t talk about.

I’m talking about the glue that holds a great property investor together day in, day out… I’m talking about:

If money and location were not an issue…

If you had the power to do anything you want with your life… anywhere you want…

Would you still be doing what you’re doing today?

If you’re anything like I was earlier in my journey, chances are you just answered:

“Hell no, Matt! My life would be 100% different if money and time weren’t an issue anymore!”

But here’s the kicker. You will forever be dependent on money… unless…

You Figure Out What You Want To Do Instead!

If there’s one thing I learned from over a decade of helping myself and others achieve financial freedom, is this:

What usually prevents people from achieving success is lacking a crystal clear, vivid image of what their end game is.”

And to be honest, creating that image is one of the hardest things you’ll ever do. Scoff if you want, but let me tell you – it’s harder to figure out WHERE you want to go… than HOW to get there.

But… there is some good news:

Today’s post is GUARANTEED to help you create that mental image… and imprint it so deeply and effectively into your subconscious mind…

…that it’ll awaken a force you never knew you had within you – so powerful that you will finally be able to utilise everything you’ve learned, all of your skills, experience and knowledge – and turn them into as many dollars as your heart desires.

How? With some help from my favorite business mentor and best-selling author, James Klobasa.

As a young child, James always had a clear idea of what his perfect day as an adult would look like.

When asked by one of his school teachers to draw a picture of what he wanted to be when he grew up, James drew a picture of himself enjoying time at the beach with friends.

Based on his beach-centered “Kid Vision,” James created a life that allowed him to ditch his day job, travel and enjoy plenty of fun times in the sun, surf and sand.

In his book The Expert’s Handbook, James empowers his readers to tap into their “Kid Vision” and use it to create a business that supports a lifestyle of wealth, happiness and abundance.

Finding Your “Kid Vision”

Finding your “Kid Vision” involves reflecting on a time when you were really excited about life and figuring out what feelings drove you during that time. [Read more…]

Those who do nothing, achieve nothing”
– Derek Halpern

Do you know the biggest reason people don’t make it as property investors?

They lack confidence.

How many times have you wanted to do something in your property investing but just didn’t…

… because you couldn’t muster the confidence to follow through?

I’ve seen thousands of property investors let lack of confidence sabotage their success… things like:

• Never picking up the phone and striking up a conversation with an agent
• Finding excuses to not submit an offer on a project that’s an absolute killer
• Shying away from negotiating a win-win scenario
• Showing up to networking events, property seminars, and other places where you can meet your next joint venture partner
• Asking for help when feeling stuck
• Asking the boss for more flexible hours to focus on property investing

Honestly, the list goes on and on and on…

This Is Such A Crucial Skill!

And statistics (and common sense) tell me there’s a good chance YOU are struggling with it, too.

So I decided to bring in the big guns.

Ever heard of Derek Halpern?

Inc. magazine called him “The master of social media”. Forbes calls him “Expert on how consumer psychology applies to online marketing.” An article on the Huffington Post says; “Derek Halpern is one of the smartest men, or at least smartest marketers that I know”

But not a long time ago, Derek was just a hopeless and helpless college geek. Yet somehow, he found a way to turn life around for him, and stop seeing himself as “that loser”. Today he’s a renown and remarkable speaker, motivator and advisor to the stars.

Want to know his secret? I thought you might!

After all, mastering the art of confidence is one of the smartest investments you can make, and my blog is well known as being read only by very, very wise people (true.)

OK, here it is. Derek wrote an exceptional blogpost on how to build confidence and why it matters in business and in life:

Derek Halpern: How To Be Confident

This is a must read even if you feel you already ooze confidence. Especially the 13 Confidence Boosters revealed half-way down the post (I particularly like #12)

So without further adieu, I give you Derek Halpern’s ‘How To be Confident’

Is the way you think about yourself putting a glass ceiling on your chances of achieving success and happiness in life?

According to James Klobasa, the answer is almost certainly, YES. 

Klobasa, a business mentor and the best-selling author of The Expert’s Handbook, believes that many people mistakenly think that they are only worth the annual salary they earn at their 9-to-5 job.

Others think that they are only worth the amount that someone is willing to pay for their product or service. And some people even think that they are only worth the amount that their competitors are charging.

Although this may be accurate in some cases, Klobasa said that people who have the ability to spot opportunities are actually worth much, much more.”

In fact, Klobasa believes that understanding your true value is one of the keys to creating wealth and designing the life you want.

What Are The Symptoms of Low Self-Worth?

When people are suffering from low self-worth, they fail to look beyond the tangible value of the goods or services they are selling. This often results in them selling cheap,” Klobasa said. [Read more…]

Property investing is an exciting business that gives you the opportunity to make money, take control of your career and achieve your business and life goals.

However, the business also comes with inevitable challenges and setbacks that may discourage you and cause you to lose faith in yourself—if you let them.

Why Property Investors Give Up

Most property investors become interested in this wealth creation vehicle after reading a book, attending a seminar or talking to another successful property investor.

Learning about the business (especially the earning potential!) gets them excited enough to take action, so they begin making a plan and searching for their first deal.

But after a while, their enthusiasm starts to fade.

Maybe it was taking them too long a time to land their first deal. Maybe they experienced a setback, such as a difficult renovation, a deal-gone-bad or trouble with a joint venture partner.

Regardless of the reason, they become disheartened and start to question whether property investing is the right choice for them.

They may even start to blame themselves or others for their lack of success, causing them to lose faith in what they are doing and give up altogether.
