Publisher's summary

I have been extremely successful but that was not always the case. I made $26k total in 2008. One of the biggest changes I made was my attitude and outlook. This books goes over the transformation I made and how I did it.

“A truly inspiring read. So much of your success is predicated on your mindset and Mark Ferguson explains that in great detail and backs it up with scientific evidence for those who are skeptical about such a topic (myself included). Mark shares personal aspects of his life that make you want to implement these same strategies so you too can achieve similar results.”

Everything you need to change your life around by first changing your mindset!
When I graduated from college in 2001, I thought I had the world by the horns. I had a degree in business finance, I was smart, and I knew I would be successful. The only problem I had was that I had no plan, no idea what I wanted to do for work, and I wasn’t the hardest worker. For some reason, I was not super successful right out of the gate! I ended up working for my dad part-time in real estate, which became full-time and then an awesome business. I struggled at the beginning of my career, not because I was in the wrong field, or I was not knowledgeable, but because I had a bad attitude and did not know how to be successful.

I thought I was smart, I was educated, I thought I could be successful, but there is much more to success than intelligence and education. Hard work is also a very important part of success, and although I could have definitely worked a little harder in school and at work, that wasn’t the missing piece to the puzzle. Not only did I struggle after college, but I also became very frustrated with where my career was going. I lost some of my dreams, I started to tell myself I didn’t want fancy things or nice cars, because I started to believe I would never be able to get those things. If I convinced myself, I didn’t want those things, maybe I would be less disappointed.

A funny thing happened a few years into my real estate career. I got fed up with how things were going and I made some drastic changes. At first, the changes resulted in me making much less money and being way more stressed! However, I accidentally started to create some goals, because I got fed up with how things were going. Then I started to listen to other people and not rely on just myself. I got outside my comfort zone and did things that scared me and were very hard to do. My life started to turn around, and success followed very quickly.

I went from having a goal to make $100,000 a year to a goal to make $1,000,000 a year in a few years. I found success in multiple businesses. I built a team that reduced my stress and the time I worked. I became happier, I bought an awesome house, had an awesome family, and even bought a Lamborghini (a life-long dream). The more successful I became, the more I realized that success was not about intelligence, hard work, or even education. It was about belief, planning, confidence, and structure.

In this book, I will tell you a little more about my story. How I made $28,000 in 2006, but now have 180,000 square feet of rentals, flip 15 to 25 houses a year, own a real estate brokerage, have written 9 books (so far), and work less than 40 hours a week. I could have retired in my 30s but I have big goals and big aspirations, plus I love what I do!

This book goes over the changes I made to my attitude, my habits, my outlook, and what I learned from others along the way.
