Did Someone Say We Couldn’t?
Today is once again Mindset Monday. We distinguish that there are a few house owners and short sale realtors out there watching today. So, we would like to talk about the outback mindset today. We also have some great earlier episodes on shortsalepowerhour.com regarding the outback mentality.
Our focus today is around page 91 of the Red Book. Being able to think strategically is vital. You need to distinguise between the rules of how you play the game and strategies of how you succeed. In real estate the rules don’t correlate to money at all. The rules in real estate are about conduct, morals, and protocol. There is no proposition that you ought to break the rules. As a matter of fact, guidelines are about restraint and you ought to play by them. However, strategy is regularly found in the grey area of the guidelines.
How many times have you heard the expression, “Can we do that?” The outback mindset response to that question is “Did someone say we couldn’t?” Merely thinking about the possibilities out there will expand your mindset.
Making an assumption that you can not do something only stops your thoughts. However, if you consider all of the possibilities in working a short sale situation, your thinking is stretched. Then, with all of those potential, you can weed out the ones that break the guidelines and you will still be left with endless possibilities on how to resolve your difficulty.
When you think tactically the possibilities that lie ahead of you are endless as long as you try anything and everything that nobody has said you can not do. To replicate, when you think tactically the possibilities that rest ahead of you are never-ending as long as you try anything and everything that nobody has said you can’t do.
