Cutting Coupons or Earning More With Abundance

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams Realty 0575737

Sky The LimitI have always been observant of many around me with either a scarcity or abundance mentality. It is

Cutting Coupons or Earning More With Abundance.

Scarcity can definitely be a mindset. I do not have anything against cutting coupons in a budget to save additional money, with the savings going towards other things. But the thought process can also be to earn more, Earn your way to buying more of the things you need. In real estate it is a formula:

  Activity + Consistency = Production

Your attitude mirrors what you believe. Believe you can, work hard, work smart, and possess an abundance mentality with high expectations.

Great professionals think about and attract great things into their life and career. They do not settle for anything less than becoming all they can be. Great professionals have a vision of success based on achieving greatness. They have passion, and a purpose in all that they do. They understand when something needs changing in their life they have the power to change it. Above all they are in motion. They act.

"Finding security in mediocrity is an exhausting process." Seth Godin

"Great professionals don't let what they cannot do interfere with what they can do." John Wooden.

Go for it. The sky is the limit. Or maybe beyond. There are footprints on the moon you know.

Gary...For some earning more is not a viable option.  for them cutting expenses like cioupons can yield great rewards.

You can't make it in this business if you don't start from a positive place.  There is enough stuff out there that can tear you down if you don't believe in yourself and have a plan to get your business to the next level.

Gary, darn it, I'm Scotch-Irish.  We hold onto a penny until it cries.  I do believe in abundance...I saw it around the corner recently.  But, it's the economy of watching my nickels and dimes that keeps me in business. 

However, I believe in your principle.  And thanks for the words of wisdom.

Hi Gary !

I definitely believe that your attitude breeds your success or failure. The more positive and active you are, the much higher your odds are increased for being productive.

Always a pleasure stopping by this neighborhood ;o)

I am, by nature, a penny pincher!  However, I've found that enthusiasm works like honey and lead conversion "sticks" when you have passion behind your words.  Your post was succinct and well said.  Thanks!
