Your Key As A Successful Investor Is Simply Self-Knowledge
Your real estate career is like any journey; it has a beginning, an end and a direction. For many investors, the present direction of an investor is the result of entirely their own choices. If, for some reason, you are not happy with the direction of your investor career, there is a way out: Take charge of your investing career and change its direction.
We fail to look for the answer where it actually lies: inside us.
The secret of finding success as a real estate investor is not to look outside but to look inside. Know yourself and you will automatically know the right direction for your success as a real estate investor.
You simply need to dig deeper if you are unhappy with your level of success. Most of us define our selves in terms of what we have done in the past or what we have not done in the past. That's just the tip of the iceberg. To really know yourself, dig deeper and uncover your:
Strengths
Personality
Values
Interests
Strengths: Your strength is what you do well and enjoy doing it. We never fail to admire strengths in top athletes, painters, writers, leaders but fail to ask, "What is my strength?"
Strengths have a solid connection with success!
Peter Drucker said "a person can only perform from his strength. In other words, mediocrity is guaranteed if we fail to use
our strengths. So know your strengths and get into a career that allows you to leverage your strengths to the maximum".
Discover your strengths by asking:
What am I good at and also enjoy doing?
What makes me feel energized?
What comes naturally and easily to me?
Personality: Personality is the sum total of a person's behavioral, temperamental and emotional traits. For example, some people are by nature extrovert and enjoy meeting other people. But some people are born introvert and feel more comfortable when left alone.
You need to become a personal investor: A form of person-to-person communication in Which a investor works with prospective Sellers and attempts to influence their Needs in the direction of making a
WIN - WIN deal
Studies show a direct link between a person's personality and success. Indeed, if you are an extrovert person, you would do well in your role as a real estate investor. But an introvert person would be better off in roles that do not require public dealing.
Values: Values are what you consider important and valuable. Values differ from person to person and can range from things like money, prestige and power to more subtle things like respect, harmony and independence.
Your values hint towards the level of success you will have
For example, if you value "achievement, " or "helping others".
Makes you a great investor because if you love achievement real estate regularly throw challenges at you.
If you love to help others you would do well in real estate because real estate provides an opportunity to serve others.
To know your values, ask yourself what is important to you, make a list and prioritize the items. You can also use value inventories on the Internet to identify your values.
Interests: Should the work be interesting? Yes, for an important reason: If your work arouses your interest, you are going to do well. History shows that great achievers always pursued what fascinated them.
Doing the work that interests you can have a lasting impact on your success. To uncover your interests, find out what fascinates you and draws your attention.
Knowing your strengths, personality, values and interests is like having a compass with its needle pointing towards the right direction for your success.
