In the book “The Millionaire Real Estate Investor” the author is stating that there are two ways people view thier financial potential. Probability thinkers, who base their views of their future financial selves on their past history and current capabilities. They say to themselves, “Based on who I’ve been and who I am, this is probably what I can financially accomplish in the future” they use words such as realistic and likey when they discuss their financial potential. So, when they are presented with a new opportunity that does not fit their preconceived notions of their financial potential,they often conclude that they simply “can’t do it”.
Posibility thinkers, in contrast, rarely utter the words “I can’t do it”. They set aside any limiting notions they might have about their financial ptential and base their views of their future financial selves on what they imagine themselves to be capable of accomplishing. They use altoghether different vocabulary such as “conceivable” what’s “imaginable” and what’s “possible”. They say to themselves: “I have dreams for a reason. Based on who I can become, this is what I can financially accomplish”. They take into account that they might have to learn new things, acquire new skills, or change thier habitts to reach their full financial potential. For them, their financial future is fecible, active and, ultimately, alive.
So, the question is, What type of individual are you?
