Today is once again Mindset Monday. We distinguish that there are some home owners and short sale realtors out there watching today. So, we would like to talk about the outback mindset today. We also have some great earlier episodes on shortsalepowerhour.com concerning the outback mentality.
Our attention today is around page 91 of the Red Book. Being able to think strategically is important. You need to distinguise between the guidelines of how you play the game and strategies of how you win. In real estate the guidelines don’t connect to money at all. The guidelines in real estate are about conduct, principles, and procedure. There is no suggestion that you should break the guidelines. As a matter of fact, rules are about restraint and you ought to play by them. However, strategy is regularly found in the grey area of the guidelines.
How many times have you heard the phrase, “Can we do that?” The outback mindset answer to that inquiry is “Did somebody say we couldn’t?” Just mulling over the possibilities out there will expand your mindset.
Making an assumption that you can not do something only stops your thoughts. Nonetheless, if you think about all of the possibilities in handling a short sale situation, your thinking is expanded. Then, with all of those possibilities, you can weed out the ones that break the rules and you will still be left with endless possibilities on how to solve your dilemma.
When you think tactically the possibilities that rest ahead of you are endless as long as you try anything and everything that nobody has said you can’t do. To replicate, when you think strategically the possibilities that lie ahead of you are never-ending as long as you try anything and everything that nobody has said you can not do.
