What Is A Scarcity Mindset?

A scarcity mindset is the belief that there is never enough. An abundance mindset is the belief that there is always enough.

A scarcity mindset is one in which a person believes that the amount of resources available around them is limited and that for someone else to have more resources, they must have less.

Even if there is enough resources for everyone, some people may still feel like there is not enough. This is because of their mindset, and there is plenty of evidence to support this.

The scarcity mindset originates from the fact that throughout most of human history, the majority of people have lived with very limited resources. This is because many people were raised by survivors of the great depression who had to subsist on what they had.

Instead of basing your actions on a logical cost-benefit analysis of available resources, the scarcity mindset comes from fear and uncertainty. This fear may be that you won’t be able to pay your mortgage, that you won’t be able to retire, or that you will lose what little you already have.

A scarcity mindset is having an unbalanced view of what may or may not happen in the future.

second, it either creates a hoarding attitude or a need for instant gratification. This can lead a person to hoard resources and not share them with others because they are afraid the resources will be used against them or that there won’t be enough for everyone.

Real estate agents who try to get as much money out of a deal as possible, instead of working towards a scenario where both buyers and sellers win, damage their relationships and reputation with other agents.

Having a scarcity mindset can lead to an unhappy life that is focused on work and not balanced.

An Abundance Mindset

A person with an abundance mindset believes that there are plenty of resources not just for themselves but for everyone. They believe that there are enough real estate deals, enough time, enough training, and enough money for everyone to enjoy.

When someone you know does well, it doesn’t mean your chances of success go down. In fact, the success of those close to you only adds to your personal success.

Not being frantic about running out of time or resources allows people to be more calm when approaching any given deal. This lack of panic also allows people to see possibilities they otherwise might not have seen and make better decisions in the long term.

Why You Need An  Abundance Mindset

The way to achieve abundance is to respond to difficult situations with limitless thinking.

It is important to have an abundant mindset when it comes to real estate, not only for success but also for happiness.

The average real estate agent is quick to bring up local market figures outlining the population, number of home buyers, and number of agents when asked about their market. They understand how many home sales are available and are always chasing leads. If they don’t reach buyers or sellers first, another agent will, causing them to lose out on the commission.

The following text is about how a healthy, winning mentality is necessary for both success and happiness. It is important to realize that there are more than enough opportunities for everyone.

If you’re authentic and put in the effort, people in your community will take notice. You don’t need to worry about passing up good opportunities because more will come your way. Let your marketing strategies, professional contacts, and referrals do the work of finding potential customers, so you can focus on the opportunities in front of you.

Overcoming Past Obstacles And Failures

While it is true that an abundance mindset can attract more abundance into your life, it is also true that you need to take action in order for this to happen. Simply having an abundance mindset is not enough. You need to take concrete steps towards achieving your goals in order for them to become a reality. The catch with an abundance mindset is that you need to take action to see results.

It is difficult for people to stay in an abundance mindset because our brains are wired to prioritize survival over happiness. This is because, in the past, humans needed to worry about their survival more than their happiness. If people allow their past memories and emotions to control them, they will quickly go back to thinking in a scarcity mindset.

People with a scarcity mindset think that there is a limited amount of things, so if someone has something, they will have less. If people are more principle-centered, they will develop an abundance mentality and be happy for other people’s success instead of thinking that the other person’s success takes away from their own success.

How To Develop An Abundance Mindset

1. Surround Yourself By People With An Abundance Mindset

Humans are social creatures and our close associates have a big influence on us, whether it’s through peer pressure, the pressure to fit in, or just through exposure.

This could be viewed as a good or bad thing depending on the people you associate with.

If you surround yourself with people that have a scarcity mindset, you will be more likely to develop a scarcity mindset.

If you want to have an abundance mindset, you should surround yourself with people who also have an abundance mindset.

You can’t always choose the people you work with, but you can pick the people you spend time with after work. Find friends who will motivate you, who genuinely care about your success and the success of others, and who are willing to help out when needed.

2. View REAL Scarcity As An Opportunity To Grow

There will be times in your real estate career when you will be short on resources. Possible deficiencies include financial resources, human resources, training, knowledge, and time.

Rather than fixating on how bad things are at the moment and griping about how they’re not where you want them to be, focus on what you can control. Start with your desired outcome and work backward from there.

For example, do you find that you don’t have enough time to look for new customers because you have so many deals that you need to close right now?

If you want to have more time to prospect each week, hiring a virtual assistant can help you by taking care of some of the tedious and repetitive aspects of your job.

3. Focus On Your Unique Strengths

It’s a better use of your time to focus on improving your existing strengths rather than trying to improve your perceived weaknesses or skills shortage.

In real estate, this often means finding a specific area to focus on.

When you find something you’re good at and enjoy doing, it’s not only good for your career, but it also makes a big difference.

If you exude confidence, your clients will view you as more competent and you will be more likely to generate repeat business. Maintaining an attitude of abundance will make it easier to stay confident and act accordingly.

4. Avoid Procrastination 

Procrastination can be a very appealing option because it provides immediate results. It allows you to avoid unpleasant tasks in the present moment and delays them for a later time. We can be especially prone to procrastination when we feel discouraged, tired, or stressed.

Stressful, unwanted, and disliked situations don’t go away or get solved on their own, and eventually you have to deal with the consequences.

If you’re not a fan of prospecting, you might be tempted to push it off until the end of the day. But by doing so, you’re likely to be tired and not thinking as clearly as you were earlier in the day. This makes it harder to succeed at growing your client base. So, if you’re not careful, you could be sabotaging your own efforts.

Remind yourself that you will have time for things you enjoy after you finish work and force yourself to do the tasks you dislike first when you have all the energy you need.

Handling tasks head-on has benefits worth remembering- like increased commission from a successful prospecting call.

When you start to overcome procrastination, you will start to feel better about yourself, and others will see your increased productivity.

5. Train Your Mind To Recognize The Possibilities

An abundance mindset is about expanding your horizons and seeing more possibilities in your life. This could manifest as more opportunities to grow your brand, make friends, or get things done more efficiently. It starts with freeing up your mental space to start noticing these possibilities.

The brain can only process a limited amount of information at any given time, and it is biased towards information that confirms its existing beliefs.

Your brain will only look for evidence that supports your beliefs if you believe that something is impossible for you or that you cannot achieve something. For example, if you think making a 6-figure income from your real estate business is impossible, your brain will only look for evidence that supports that belief and ignore any evidence to the contrary.

If you want to start seeing more possibilities, you have to change the way you think about your goals.

Instead of telling yourself that you can never make six-figure take-home pay, reframe it as a question of how you can make six-figure take-home pay.

You begin to see opportunities for increasing your income when you make even a small change. You may start to notice niches in your market that are not being served. You look for ways to be more efficient in your work. You invest some of your personal time in improving your skills.

It takes effort to develop an abundance mindset, but it is a skill that can be learned. The more you practice it, the easier it becomes. Eventually, it will become your default mindset.

Questions That Can Make It Easier To Recognize Opportunities:

• If someone else were to analyze this situation, what might they notice that I’m not seeing right now?
• What are ALL of my choices here? Did I miss anything?
• What’s going right and in our favor in this situation?
• If this goal were to be achievable, what would be the next logical step?
• What resources might I have available here that I happened to miss?

6. Approach Matters With A Neutral And Analytical Point Of View

If you can, try to go into new situations without having any prejudices and being open-minded. It might help to act like you don’t know anything and not make any decisions until you have all of the information.

This text is saying that it is important to be open-minded and to see things for what they really are, instead of being limited by your current beliefs.

” Before you form an opinion on a subject, ask yourself if you would notice anything different if you had no opinion on it. If you were to ask someone who knew nothing about the subject, would they notice anything different?
