“The optimist designed the aero plane and the pessimist designed the parachute” In today’s insightful episode Rob discusses the optimist vs the realist and the need for balance. Tune in to discover the upside and the downside of being a pessimist and an optimist, how you can master goal setting and fear setting and how you too, can achieve wisdom, clarify and banish fear so you can take your business to the next level.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• When most people say they are a realist, what they mean is they’re scared. Realists follow the ‘glass half empty viewpoint’ and in reality, they are a pessimist.
  
  

Realists are worried about making mistakes, taking risks, failing and what other people feel about them. If you want to change the world you can’t be a realist, you need to be an optimist

 

• A realist waits for the proof something can be done, an optimist explores what could be done and hasn’t been proven yet.

 

• The optimist thinks the pessimist is scared and the pessimist thinks the optimist is naive and in reality, they’re both correct and have equal upsides and downsides.

 

• The ideal mindset is a mixture of realism and optimism deployed equally in your industry. As a property investor you need to be an optimist to see deals, margins and investment where others don’t, but also be realistic about the numbers and the yield you’re looking to achieve.

 

• It’s important to stay balanced. In reality, a ‘realist’ should be an optimist when required and a realist when required. ‘Goal setting’ is planning the upside and ‘fear setting’ is planning for the downside.

 

• If you become the optimist, the realist and the pessimist in any given situation you will then have wisdom.
