Strategic Risk Taking: Overcoming the Limiting Beliefs That Hold You Back From Investing w/Ryan O'Neill

Most agents want the wealth and financial freedom that investing in real estate provides, but very few ever pull the trigger. What holds them back?    Even the most well-intentioned people struggle to leap because they have the wrong mindset about investing. They overanalyze themselves into inaction, focus too much on timing the market, and expect instant gratification instead of long-term accumulation.     To put it simply, they aren’t willing to take a strategic risk on something that will pay off massively in the future.    How do we overcome this hesitation? Why do we miss out on an opportunity when we let market conditions control our investment decisions?    In this episode, I’m joined by Minnesota real estate team leader, investor, and coach, Ryan O'Neill. He shares some of the biggest mindset barriers that keep people from experiencing the benefits of investing and how to overcome them.  "A lot of agents are in the buying and selling business, and they are more focused on making a dollar instead of slowing down and considering what to do with that dollar." -Ryan O'Neill   Three Things You’ll Learn In This Episode   How to overcome the fear to investWhat decision separates the people who become successful investors from everyone else?
