The Lies Holding Us Back

April 12, 2016 by Kevin

One of the toughest things for a new investor is just getting started. One of the toughest things for an experienced investor is growing their business and trying new ways of doing things. It can be so hard to pull that trigger and acquire your first deal or go down a new path.

Interesting thing is, our brains may actually be holding us back. It seems that our brains like to tell us little lies to discourage us. It wants to keep us safe and on the tried and true path.

Which of the 14 little lies in this article have you used to prevent you from buying that first deal or from expanding your business?

I know several that have entered my mind from time to time. And because of this it can be very hard to get off the path that you know. But if you want to succeed, at anything, often times you must leave the path you are on.

That is why I think the advice at the end of this article is so important. To be successful, you have to learn to recognize these lies and understand how to deal with them. You have to learn that being scared to get off the path you are on is OK. It is natural, but holding you back.
