OfflineHello DG family,
This website is AMAZING for getting information and learning techniques and strategies from other investors. It blows other websites OUT of the water! 
I'm going to do something a little different for you. You won't be successful unless you have or build a mindset to USE that information, and that is the aim and goal of this journal. I want to get you to get out and USE the information you're learning in Dean's books, blogs and this website. This thread is going to be strictly about MINDSET! Here's your own slice of MINDSET training to put alongside the main course of knowledge and strategy training.
This is for everyone who needs a little motivation and inspiration. (which is all of us at some point in time). I know a lot of you didn't get the opportunity... YET... to join the Insider's Elite; that's a goal to strive for.
I want you to know that RIGHT HERE and the web is where I came to help change my mindset. With this site and Dean's Totally Fulfilled and video blogs, I was able to SET MYSELF UP FOR SUCCESS! I couldn't have done it without this site, Dean's blogs and weekly infiltration into my life, and his book 'Totally Fulfilled'. I also read (or listen to 
) many books by great authors like Napoleon Hill, Robert Kiyosaki, Norman Peale, Darren Harding and many others.
As you know if you saw me on DGIE promotional video number 3 or the live webinar, my journey has been about mindset. As of that recording I had done just over 20 deals, and while there are many others that have done many more, my journey has been majorly about overcoming the obstacles and mindset blocks that kept me from pushing forward. I turned around a business that by all analyzers and commentators told me should have been dissolved. Right now, my goals are to do more deals in a short time than I've done in my entire investing career.
My love of REI and being the determined, persistent, and dare I say what Dean called me; STUBBORNess coupled with some mindset movement brought me across several threshholds and has allowed me to THRIVE beyond anyone's expectations.
I will start this journal with a collection of mindset threads that were INSTRUMENTAL in helping me overcome humps. Yes, I went through my first post back in March of 2010 and looked for all the posts that SPOKE to my mindset. I thought that would be the BEST way to spark this thread. Many of you haven't had the opportunity to see these threads as they've been buried. But I am bringing them BACK TO LIFE for your benefit.
NOTE:(I didn't include Dean's video blogs as there are so many and they are all organized under 'DEANS VIDEO BLOG to your left)

I'm going to try to revive this thread!! It's so essential to your success!! You can help by keeping it alive when I'm not here. Everyone's mindset ideas and discoveries of posts on this site that truly inspire you are encouraged to be shared so they're all in the same place. Hope to see many participating!!
As I am going through posts I am discovering new things everyday. Today I saw the video on 7 level deep, 2009 EDGE where DG interviews Laura.
I have to revisit my 7 level deep.
Thanks,
Bimal (No 'S' in my name)
Wish Everybody a great success in their Real Estate Business
There is such an AWESOME amount of information on this site! And its all right here for free! I made it through the first part of my journey by relying on this site. At one point, I was one of the top posters here, but as Dean said in a blog, it is meant for us to graduate to a next level. I still want to keep coming here to give tidbits here and there, but time doesn't always allow me to be here!
During my journey, I personally faced a ton of negativity. In fact, I started in a position where I was told I could never do real estate again and borderline depressed; I hated myself.
It took me a LONG time, but I responded with a positive attitude, sometimes having to stick up for myself fervently. I didn't always succeed; I had (and still do have) days that I'm down and can't seem to get that positive spark I know I need to hold onto.
This is a great post from my time here on the site that has been long forgotten, but I'm reviving it again for all the people who don't know about it! The whole thread is filled with great nuggets for you to soak in. Written by Kevin Goldman, it can be found here: http://www.deangraziosi.com/real-estate-forums/everything-else/62948/sta...

NEVER give up! Always look up, and BELIEVE in yourself and BELIEVE you've ALREADY accomplished it!!! YES YOU CAN!!!
I just watched the livecast with Andrea/Gena & it was off the hook! for sho, there were about 300 people on it, should have been more! But it was amazing! It is truly mindset, as we think that is what we are, the Bible says that, sooo yea going forward positively. I am going to be a multimillionaire!

Go faster do more! GFDM!
But there are still some excellent links to posts contained here so I'm bringing it to the top for 2015. Happy new year to all if you!
I don't know! But if keeping it alive helps at least ONE person, then it was worth it!

I am the best me I can be and will continue the journey the rest of my life!
Mindset is everything for sure. How many times have we heard some one say. Oh I'll never have a new car I guess I'll just drive this one til the wheels fall off. Oh i could never be rich. I'll never have money.. makes me sick because if you think you never will, how in the world will you ever......
listen on Youtube to Norman Vincent Peale's "THE POWER OF POSITIVE THINKING" and so many other wonderful books. "HOW TO WIN FRIENDS AND INFLUENCE PEOPLE" there all on Youtube so you can listen if you don't like to read.......
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY,
WALT
