Dean Graziosi explains why mindset matters more than information in real estate. He walks through a three-box exercise: where you are now, where you want to go, and how you'll get there. Honesty about your current pain is what actually triggers change.
Hi, this is Dean Graziosi and welcome back to the weekly blog. I think you know from my blog post that I feel it is so important. I don't just feel it is important. I know it's important that your mind is in the right spot for success. All the real estate wisdom you need is in my books. My brand new book, Profit from Real Estate right now. If you haven't gotten a copy, go get a copy right away. It's absolutely amazing. But all the information and wisdom is in these books and in my real estate success academy and@dingaziosi.com but if your mind is not in the right spot, if your focus isn't in the right spot, then none of it's attainable. So I have a little exercise for you today. Hopefully you have a pen. If you don't hit pause, hit the little button, I think it's right down here. Hit the pause button and go get a pen and paper. And what I want you to do is take the pen and paper and make three lines just like that. Okay? You have three different sections. On the top section, I want you to write where are you? Where are you? Simple as that. If you want to hit pause and write that down, then come back, you can do that. But I'm just going to keep going. The second is where do you want to go in the second box? So where are you? Where do you want to go? In this last box, I want you to put how are you going to get there? It's really going to be insightful. It's going to open your mind to some great things. Where are you? Where do you want to go? And how are you going to get there? Three important things to really get your mind focused and thinking in the direction you want to go. But here's the thing. All change starts with pure honesty. When you write where are you? I want you to write where you are. If it's painful, if it's anxiety, if it's worried about your future, if it's disturbing, whatever it is, honesty is the thing that initiates change. Because if you're disturbed enough, it'll give you that kick in the butt to get going. So I want you to write down where you are in life. Then I want you to change the whole mindset. I want you to write down where you want to go with no limitations. I want limitless income. I want passive income of $20,000 a month. I want to spend time with my kids before they grow up and leave. Leave out of the home, or I want to be able to spend time with my grandchildren. I want to start a family. I want you to write down personal and business, where you want to go with no limits. Then the last one I want you to write, how am I going to get there? What could be the fastest path to go from where you are to where you want to go? Is it reading my book a couple more times? Is it being a part of my real estate success academy? Is it getting rid of negative people in your life and naysayers? Is it focusing on solutions? Is it focusing on what you're grateful for in life, not what stinks in your life? What is it that's going to allow you to get there? This simple little exercise will open your mind up, because when you put things down on paper, they become real. So that's your exercise for today. I want you to do. Where are you? Where you want to go, how are you going to get there? Really think it through. And then next week we'll talk about how we can use that sheet as the foundation to start making money. Have a wonderful week. I'll see you here next week, same time, same place.
