The Inner Game of Short Sales?

I have been thinking a lot about improving my game.

My inner game that is.

One doesn’t have to a financial genius today to know that things are bad and going to get worse before they get better, especially in real estate. Read about it enough and it’s enough to get you down.

But please don’t allow it to.

It may seem overwhelming, and it may also deeply affect you personally, as well as financially.

But the key is to focus on what you CAN do.

I think these are times that test a person’s mettle. Their ability to decide, commit, and to preservere until the goal, whatever it may be, is finally reached.

There’s a lot of fear out there right now. Things that can keep you from focusing on things you CAN do.

Don’t let it.

When I was suffering cashflow problem and foreclosure was starring me in the face, you bet I was scared.

My mettle has been tested on many an occasion in my life. To ultimately succeed, what I tend to do is focus on my previous successes where I did take action, where I DID succeed, despite the challenges and despite the odds.

In short sales, you can also be challenged. In fact it’s quite easy to be. (Ask me how I know?)

But I have to say that the resources and opportunities you have today dwarf what I had even 3 years ago. But the people focusing on short sales today and know what they are doing, are reaping the rewards of their efforts.

They focused on their training, they focused on their success-oriented mindset, they focused on the opportunity, and then let nature and God take care of everything else.

To the point: No matter how much money you have or may not have, you do not have to let this economy or situation get to you.

I hate to sound like a motivational speaker, but success (and wealth, for that matter) really is a mindset, not just an outcome you want.
