This is the Investor Mindset podcast and I'm Steven Pesavento. For as long as I can remember, I've been obsessed with understanding how we can think better, how we can be better, and how we can do better. And each episode we explore lessons on motivation and mindset for the most successful real estate investors and entrepreneurs in the nation.

Alright, guys, well, welcome back. And we have a quick episode here, we're going to talk a little bit about how do you keep that momentum alive. And I want to talk about one of the biggest mistakes that people make when they start getting a little bit about when to when they start getting a little bit of success. And it's something that you can totally avoid. It's something that almost anybody can avoid. But frankly, a lot of times, people think, you know, they get in their head, and they don't. So as we're diving into things here, I want to encourage you guys, if you resonate with this in any way, to take some action, to do something with this information, rather than just listening, right, listening is one step towards becoming active and making change happen.

But what I'm realizing I was having a conversation with somebody recently, and they're doing amazing, right, they're doing amazing, they've, they've been growing their business, they've been seeing the biggest kind of growth that they've really ever seen. And they're really moving to a whole nother level. But within that person's experience, they're still letting fear, take control, they're still letting fear, go deep down inside them and say, hey, well, mate, maybe you should pull back a little bit, hey, maybe you want to be a little bit more conservative, hey, maybe, I don't know if we should continue to do you know, this kind of marketing or continue to do coaching or I don't know, if I should go to an event. You know, what, what's happening is the things that got them there. They're starting to question whether or not the it's going to get them to that next place. And the reason they're going there is because they're starting to play defense, they're starting play defense, they got some money. And you guys have been here, I know, I've been here myself, right. So you start to make some money, they start to see some success, they start to go down this right path, and things are going well for them. And ego plays into it. And then a little bit of fear plays into it. So that ego says, Hey, man, I got it, I learned the stuff I need to learn, I am going to go out into the forest on my own, I'm going to go searching through, I don't need anyone else. I've got it, I'm going to go out there. And then this other part of them, which is the fear part says, you know, John, it's just a made up name, you know, John, you might want to just start saving your money, you might not want to spend any more money on marketing, you might not want to hire anybody, you might not want to keep doing coaching, you might not want to join that mastermind, you might not want to go to that event, you might not want to. And you can keep inserting all the things that you might not want to do.

And the reason that's going in there is it saying hey, ah, you've never been here before your temperature is rising. But that thermostat of your life is turning on. And it's saying, hey, you know, you're about to go beyond a place you've ever been before. You're about to go beyond who you believe that you are and what you're capable of. And that thermostat kicks in. And just like air conditioning your home, you start to cool down and you don't notice it at first, you just feel a nice slight breeze. But then slowly over time, you realize that you're back in the place that you were or maybe even cooler than before, because that thermostats not always perfect. But what it always does do is it tries to click on and save you, it tries to keep you in your comfort zone. But the way that we keep that momentum alive. The way that we keep that confidence growing, is we keep doing the actions that are getting us the results. Once you start closing some deals. Don't stop making those cold calls, like you were when you were hungry. When you start building a new partnership. Don't stop putting in the time and effort and energy into building that relationship. And when you start feeling yourself getting close to reaching your goals of financial freedom of living a life that you'd never thought you'd live of living a life worth inspiring others. Don't stop the mentorship. Don't stop listening to the podcast don't stop executing on your plan. Don't stop the coaching Don't stop yourself from getting to the place you actually want to go. Because at the end of the day, it's the simplest thing. But we all screw it up, that we start making progress. And we stop ourselves before we cross that finish line. So I encourage you, if this, if this speaks to you in any way to ask yourself, well, what is it that got me to where I am today that's making me start to feel like I'm successful. That's getting me down this path, where I'm starting to make that progress. And what are those core things that I need to make sure that I keep doing that I need to make sure I keep that accountability in my life that I need to make sure that I keep challenging myself that I need to make sure I keep surrounding myself with people who are doing great things that I need to keep doing the homework, and actually putting in the effort. So start changing our thoughts and beliefs so that we can start changing the actions that we are taking every day in our business and our life.

So with all of that, if any of this speaks to you, I really encourage you to share this with somebody else. Because if this was valuable to you, if this helped get you up, if this helped remind you that you got this, if this helped, say you know what, not another day, today is the day that I stepped back into my greatness, then I encourage you to share this with a friend, share it on social media, at Steven pesavento tagged me in it would love to be able to see the things and be able to share that with my audience as well. It would mean the world to me if you can pass this along to someone else who can get some greatness from it. And as a reminder, head over to the investor mindset calm to get a little bit more clarity for yourself in your life, so that you can really start understanding like, where am I at today, emotionally, mentally, physically, in my business, and in my life? And and how am I going to create the plan to move forward so that I can build this business the way that I want to so that I can build a business that matches my lifestyle. And I can enjoy the process because I want to tell you something, you guys, I built a business that I did not enjoy. I did it multiple times. And I learned a little bit every single time. But it took this moment of clarity where I snap myself out of it. And I said nope, not another day, not another dollar, it doesn't matter what I'm making, I am going to build a business that absolutely lights me up. And for quite a while I've been doing that. And it's been very, very enjoyable. And I know it's possible for all of you guys.
