Mindset is the key to success and prosperity.

I want to make it a goal to start writing, or "blogging" on a daily basis...which will probably last about a week.

The point of today's note is to attempt to help start the correction of the economy.  Yes, I believe I have the entire solution for everyone.  You know, it's interesting, they say the most NEW millionares are created during times of recession and depression.  Yes, that's right.  More millionaires emerge in our great country during econonomic slowdown.

They also say that the best salespeople make the most money during the worst markets...

Why is that, you ask?  It can't possibly be more than good timing, or shear luck, can it?  Well, I believe it's more than just "shear luck".  I know for a fact it is.

It's a little thing called mindset.  What we are THINKING at the moment.  Right now, the reason folks are afraid to spend money, or are scared of what's supposedly happening right now, is simply their mindset.  The mindset that they don't have enough money to pay their bills, the mindset that they might not have a job next week, or might not be able to find a new one.

It's simple, correct your mindset, and everything else will start to fall into place, and things will get better.

I need to correct my mindset starting today.  In 2008, my second year in Real Estate, I closed 27 transactions.  My goal is 40 this year.  I just pended my first deal yesterday for the year.  Time to correct my mindset, and focus on  my goals...

How do you correct your mindset?  Very simple, keep yourself around positive thoughts all the time.  Surround yourself with those more successful than you are.  Stay away from the water cooler at work.  Keep your news watching to a minimum, and I'm talking, weather, sports, and nothing else.  You'll hear what's going on from everyone else anyway...

Have a good one, hope this note has helped you start to correct your mindset.

If you think you can, you can. If you think you can't, you can't.

Mind is a powerful thing
