You are 100% responsible for your life and your results.

5 Mental Attitudes of Winners

Success in life, starts by first developing and maintaining an expectant attitude of success. Simply put, all top performers expect that they are going to succeed, and because of this they consistently take the actions that lead them to achieve their goals and become successful.

It is their mental attitudes that allow them to meet obstacles, set backs and temporary failures with a new resolve to keep trying, or to try something different, until they succeed. That’s what puts them in the top 20% producers.

The other 80%, on the other hand, expect things to be difficult, have already accepted that they might not succeed, and they are easily discouraged when things don’t go their way. This attitude allows them to justify and accept the results they get.

If you are serious about changing your life, then get in the practice of working on your mental attitude first. Adopt these 5 mental attitudes of winners to powerfully change your ways of thinking and to permanently change your results.

1) Understand the law. There are many absolute laws in the universe – the law of gravity, the laws of mathematics, etc. The most powerful law in terms of your success is the law of attraction. In short, whatever you hold in your consciousness you will manifest in your life.

So if you don’t like your results, then look at their source (your thoughts, expectations and beliefs), and work on changing those first. Once you do, your results will automatically change.

2) Stop blaming. So many people blame the economy, their boss, their family, etc., for their failure. But the truth is this: You are 100% responsible for your life and your results. Winners accept this and that’s where their power comes from. When you accept 100% responsibility you then gain access to 100% of the solutions.

3) Stop struggling. Success is easy because all results are simply an out picturing (a physical manifestation) of what we hold in our consciousness (our beliefs). The reason most people struggle (and fail) is because they try to achieve something without first changing their mental attitudes.

Winners recognize and work on changing their attitudes and beliefs and expectations first, and then they easily and naturally take the actions that lead to the achievement of their goals.

4) Live life’s formula. Most people live under the false belief that if they HAVE a lot of money, then they would DO the things that would allow them to BE happy. This is totally backward.

The real formula for success is to first “BE”– act, feel and live in your mind as if you had already achieved your goal – and then you will naturally DO the things (take the actions) that will enable you to HAVE what you want. This is life’s true formula and the sooner you live it, the sooner you’ll experience success.

5) Stop worrying. All thoughts turn into things. If you constantly worry about not having enough money, you will never have enough money. If instead you develop a money consciousness, then you will attract all the money you need. Believe me, there is enough money in the world for you to have the things you want!

Carefully monitor your thoughts right before you fall asleep at night and first thing in the morning. Then ask yourself, “What am I asking from the universe every single day?” Chances are, what you are dwelling on has already shown up in your life.

As we move through 2012  - I hope these 5 mental attitudes of winners resonated with you. Like gravity, they work in and on your life whether you consciously practice them or not. The key is to understand and use them purposefully to achieve the results you want. Once you do, you will manifest success just like the top 20% do.

So -- you wanna buy a short sale. Do you even know what that means?

This house is listed as a Short Sale what does that mean?

 

Real estate Short sale

A short sale is when the bank needs to approve the sale of the house for less than what the sellers owe on the property.  Just yesterday first time home buyers were meeting with me and were wondering what a short sale was because one of the houses the Realtor found for them was a short sale. Here is an example:

The buyer wants to offer $200,000
The seller owes $220,000

How can this house be sold?  The answer is the bank needs to agree to take less money than what is owed to them.  Sometimes they say yes and sometimes they say no but either way a typical short sale is a slower process. Over the last couple of years it has become more streamlined but still is not as quick as being able to negotiate directly with the sellers of the property which are typically local are eager to sell.

This couple is planning on moving by the end of May and I advised them that you want to make sure everyone involved is knowledgeable about short sales and to expect it to take longer.  Many of the horror stories on the Internet about short sales are true but with the proper expectations and if you are working with experienced short sale professionals on all sides of the transaction it will greatly increase your chance of a smooth path to home ownership.

This is a great way to put in order those specific listings that interest you most. Again, you may save as many favorites as you wish.

  • With the New Listing Notification service, you can be updated via e-mail as to new listings that match the criteria of any saved search. There is no need to check back for updates to your searches. All you have to do is decide whether you want daily, weekly, or bi-weekly notifications of the most recent listings.

How a real estate agent, Lisa Bear of REMAX can help you.

If you are currently in the market for your first home, you may be curious as to how a Real Estate Agent can help you. You are about to be making an important decision for your future, a great investment of both money and time. I have a wealth of experience helping first time buyers like you make sound, informed decisions.

homeowner shopping list, things new homeowners need

Here are some ways that you can benefit from the help of a real estate professional:

  • Agents can help establish a plan for a home that fits your needs. Style, size, amenities, and other preferences will help determine what kind of home is best suited for you. 

  • They will help you to determine realistic spending limits. They can often explain alternative financing options or introduce you to a mortgage counselor. Agents can arrange to have you “pre-approved”, which can help improve your positioning in negotiations. 

  • Their access to all home listings within the multi-listing system enables them to evaluate based on your affordability and the qualities you desire. 

  • They have access to information on taxes, real estate values, utility costs, and municipal services, all of which can aid you in your decision to buy. 

  • They provide direct service by working for you as a buyer’s agent, helping to negotiate the best terms and price for you. 

  • They can make you comfortable with the closing process and they will obtain closing figures in advance for your review. 

  • They can recommend home inspectors, pest inspectors, and surveyors, and can help arrange inspections.

These are just a few ways that a quality real estate agent can help you in your journey towards buying your very first home. More information for first time buyers can be found on my website: www.lisabear.com or www.waukeshacountylakehomes.com or by calling me directly 262-893-5555.

I’m confident that I can provide the kind of exceptional service that will make this process an exciting one. Please don’t hesitate to call or e-mail me with any questions you may have.
