QS 62: The Philosophy of Success: Real Estate

April 24, 2020 by Josh

In a world rich with opportunity and a history of programming for mindset, how can you retrain the way you think to capitalize in the real estate world? There’s the content or the “how to” do it. Then there’s the mindset, the philosophy, that’s the context. You can put the right opportunities in our life, but without context it will all slip away. We will all do what we can to protect what we have, and that’s a scarcity mindset. The modern world is abundant with opportunity, so we have to get over our scarcity mindset. Nobody ever got rich saving money.
