1980 Olympic Gold & Real Estate Investing

January 20th, 2009 . by Rob Swanson

Hey, this is a really simple question.

Are you in it to win? In real estate I mean. Investing.

Or, are you in it to simply “not lose”? Olymic Hockey Gold

The 1980 US Olympic Hockey team won gold because they took the dominant world team out of their game. Nearly everyone that played the Soviet team prior to the championship game sat back on their haunches and played passively defensive. The all of the other teams were not in it to win. They were simply in it to survive and not lose too badly.

The US beat the better Soviet team because they went out there to win. They went on the offense and took their opponent off their game.

You can do the same in real estate investing. Attack the market. Attack the next deal. Attack finding more money.

If you’re investing based on a defensive strategy you lack one of three critical elements:

Confidence, Education or Structure.

Go on the offense, attack and win at real estate investing.

Here are three steps you can use to attack real estate investing today:

Step 1. Develop your real estate investing business plan. Know exactly what you do, why you do it and how to make it happen. If you don’t have regular, repeatable income streams, your business is destined to struggle.

Step 2. Learn the exact structures you need to follow to create cash, cash flow and equity – up to 3 profit centers on every deal you do. This will eliminate the typical feast and famine approach and will help you create regular, repeatable income streams. Master your deal flow and structure and you will immediately see results.

Step 3. Stop procrastinating. Whether you’re ready to invest immediately, need to attend real estate investor meetings for motivation and networking or you simply need to get a quality real estate investor education to learn how to make money step by step. Seek out the people that will help you succeed.

Now, get off the defensive and go ATTACK and win!
