The Most Difficult Mindset BATTLE That Investors Will Fight

Here’s a scenario that happens all the time among investors:

• An investor dreams of quitting their job and becoming financially free through real estate investing.
• They courageously quit and start investing. They work HARD to get their business up and running. They work night-and-day, knowing that the short-term sacrifice of hard work will pay off in the long-run.
• They get stuck and they burn out because they don’t build a team; they just keep working by themselves.

What has this investor gained? They haven’t gained the passive, cash-flowing financial freedom that they dreamed of. Instead, they swapped one job for another, and a paycheck for an inconsistent flow of cash that is ultimately dependent on how hard they work.

Why This Happens

There are probably a few different reasons why this happens:

• Perhaps the investor always just dreamed of “owning their own business” so they only ever pictured themselves in the business.
• Perhaps the investor thinks that the work is too hard, too complicated, or too specialized, to farm out to someone else.
• Perhaps the investor is a control-freak who wants everything to be perfect.
• Perhaps the investor wants to keep all the money coming into their business and not share it with anyone else.

These are possible, and some investors probably feel this way. But I think investors fail to hire a team for the following reason…

They simply fail in the battlefield of their mind to switch from the solo-hands-on investor to the team-building investor.

Basically, it’s a mindset shift that many investors fail to make.

You start your business thinking along one track (out of necessity) that you need to do all the work yourself. And it’s too challenging to entirely shift your mind to another track that you need to hand things off.

… but handing things off to someone else is the ONLY way you can achieve any level of meaningful growth.

Sure, you might do more deals yourself if you speed up, or implement systems, but you will not achieve the scale you need to attain financial freedom (or whatever your long-term goal is) if you don’t build a team.

When it’s just you, YOU become the bottleneck of your own success. There’s only so much you can accomplish in the day… only so many sellers to meet with, only so many buyers to meet with, only so many deals to be done.

But when you shift your mind from “hands-on investor” to “investor-leader” then you implement the one change in your business that can skyrocket you.

Look, it ain’t easy. There’s a MASSIVE difference between being the guy (or girl) who talks to motivated sellers or goes to closing, versus being the guy (or girl) who builds a team to do that work for you. It’s an entirely different skill set that you have to learn. And the bigger your team gets, the more it will stretch you.

So it comes down to a choice for you: do you want to keep work 24/7 with inconsistent income and on the verge of burnout? Or do you want to suck it up, step up, and start leading a team?

Let me help you make that decision: My team is growing like crazy and the challenges of leading that team are constant. But it’s SO much better and rewards are many multiples greater than what they would be if I was doing it by myself.

So start building your team.
