How do You See Things? w/ Adam Gilbert
You know, I’ve met a lot of very successful people over the years, and the number one thing that they all attribute their success to is mindset.
Specifically… seeing things the right way.
This isn’t so simple as “the glass half full” kind of thinking. It’s far more powerful than that. It’s the ability to see the glass and the water as separate resources. Being creative enough to find different uses for both resources. And most importantly, not letting your emotions cloud your judgement.
I’ll give you an example. One of my mentors used to own a radio station back in the 80’s. The radio station was called “The Rock”, because with a name like that, they obviously played rock music. But they also named it that for another reason.
The station was in a regular residential style house, except for one thing, there was a giant boulder in the front yard.
They were trying to figure out how to get rid of it. It was too big to lift by crane, and they couldn’t blast it in the middle of the neighbourhood. They needed another solution. My mentor came up with a brilliant idea.
They ran a charity campaign over the radio, to “Own a Piece of The Rock”.
Their listeners could come down to the station, pay whatever donation they could afford, and they would get a hammer, chisel, safety glasses, and a certificate of authenticity.
Two weeks later, the boulder was gone, and they had raised several thousand dollars for charity.
Mindset isn’t about negative and positive, it’s about seeing things differently. At first it’s an art to be able to see things this way. But the more you do it, the more it becomes a honed skill.
Today’s guest is the very embodiment of this ethos. Adam Gilbert began his career as an attorney in the Indio Valley of California. He soon realized the potential that vacation rentals possessed, and pivoted into real estate. Now he’s primarily commercial real estate, and runs his team at the Firm Commercial.
We had a great time chatting with Adam on the “Investment Property Income” podcast, and we know you’re going to get a lot out of the way he sees the world.
