In a flat or down real estate market, a negative attitude is contagious, particularly if you are sitting on a vacant house that you paid too much for. The news media will remind you every day how bad things are and will back it up with statistics, facts, and figures. When the average time on market for a house is 90 days, it’s hard to believe you can sell your property in 30 days or less. Don’t worry about averages – you only get average results if you do the average thing and think the average thoughts. However bad the news, you have to start with a belief that you are different, your property is different, and your results will be different.
The “Do or Die” Mentality
Search your own experiences and you may recall a time in your life when all reasonable things were done, yet a particular goal was not reached. You became unreasonable and did what nobody expected you to do and achieved what you set out to do, against all odds. Recall the “do or die” mindset you had when you decided to be unreasonable and achieve this goal. Apply this mindset to your most important goals on a regular basis and you will achieve big results in your life.
Create a Plan
Most sellers fail to plan, which is why they plan to fail. If you goal is to sell a house within 30 days, then you need a well-defined, written plan for that 30 days. Like going on a diet and exercise plan, the better plan you have and the more you stick to the plan, the more results you will have. If you snack between meals and exercise at half-pace, you don’t get the same results.
