It's You Against YOU

Today, it’s all about you against YOU.

If you’ve ever watched the movie ‘Me, Myself and Irene’ it’s always you, it’s always you against you. You might have seen the movie. Jim Carrey plays three different roles and he is always against himself. He is competing against himself all the time. I think that’s the way you got to think about your life with you.

The fact is there’s a ton of competition out there in the world but you don’t need to worry about it. It’s just you. It’s only you.

Take my example.

When I started in the business of real estate, I got into house flipping. It was something I was really passionate about. I was in the Salt Lake area flipping a few homes. We did a hundred homes partnered with a bunch of other people. When I was buying homes in the market it was a pretty close-knit real estate investing community in Salt Lake. At that time, I used to think if I didn’t buy houses that meant one less deal for me that year. But, that’s a limitation. Don’t think about it. Think about the fact that there are tons of opportunities in the world. Just because I wasn’t able to buy a house that day or that year didn’t matter. It means that I didn’t go out and find it.

Tom Ferry talks about if you are in a real estate office and the guy next to you gets a listing. You are thinking to yourself “why didn’t I get that same listing” kind of mindset. The thing is there are more listings out there. You can avail more opportunities. Don’t let yourself conquer your own thoughts. Just know that there’s more to it.

Often times, it starts with the way you think about your day. The way you think about what’s going on in your life. Do you think there’s an abundance? Do you think there’s an overwhelming supply of opportunity? I listen to a number of motivating videos and podcast. It basically says that whatever you think is what you become. If you’ve ever read the book ‘Think and Grow Rich’. I think that’s the secret they talk about.

If you focus is on “there’s only a certain amount of houses to sell, there’s only a certain amount of opportunities for me to go after,” then that’s what you are going to focus on. Instead of thinking “I lost that day so I’m a failure,” you could think “tomorrow is another day, there are more opportunities tomorrow, I can find more chances tomorrow, or even I can make the best of today.” That’s what you need to focus on.

Spend your time in positive thoughts. There’s a world of opportunity out there. Just because somebody else is going after the same thing as you doesn’t mean you can’t. Especially with social media. The thing is people watch multiple things. They watch different content. The same way they can also watch your content.

If you think about the abundance of your mindset just know there’s a ton going around. There is an unlimited amount of possibility.

It’s all about you. It’s what you tell yourself every single day.

There are a lot of great books that train your mindset to think about it in a certain way to keep your mind on a topic. Keep your goal to the positive abundant lifestyle. Try to set big goals. Write them down. Know what you are targeting. Know what your goals are.
