Leveraging the power of mentors to shorten your success journey.

Leveraging the power of mentors to shorten your success journey.

 

I’m honoured to host Matt Aitchison on the show today. 

 

Matt is an entrepreneur who leverages real estate as the vehicle to branch out and explore new business ventures and live the life he loves. 

Matt enjoys mentoring and coaching people on how to navigate around real estate and in doing so use real estate as the foundation for financial freedom for themselves and other people. 

 

Working as a real estate investor has helped Matt network with a lot of individuals and grow his pool of financial and human resources, all of which helps him grow his value both as a businessman and human being. 

 

And because it’s always about bettering yourself everyday, Matt is always looking for new ways to grow and develop, not just financially, but socially too. His greatest passion is adding value into other people’s lives, and leaving them a little happier and wealthier than when they first connected. 

 

Matt’s journey.

Matt was always sure of what he wanted from life. 

Once he graduated college, Matt visited Craigslist and began scrolling for jobs that would help him create the financial and social life that he’d always dreamed of. 

While scrolling, Matt came across an ad that was about being mentored into making $10,000 a week. Only 21 at the time, Matt without a second thought, jumped to the offer, and that’s how he ended up working for a real estate flipper. 

 

One year down the line, Matt alongside his mentor had flipped about 100 houses. This helped him understand the real estate marked, and garner the confidence that he needed to go out on his own. 

 

Matt flipped his first house and netted over $106,000. This lit up a fire in him, and he’s been flipping houses and slowly establishing his mark in the real estate industry ever since.

 

Over the last 9 years, Matt has flipped hundreds of properties, scaled his businesses and created an ecosystem of different business ventures in the real estate niche. 

 

The power of mindset. 

Matt owes a lot of his current success to his winning mindset. In real estate, a lot of people tend to be afraid and complacent when it comes to taking action and making actual investments.

Safety nets such as working with coaches and mentors, can greatly help anyone to achieve mastery in any niche. 

Matt trusts in the power of mentors simply because;  They have enough experience, network and tools to help him be and achieve what he wants. 

Mentors for him are a way to shorten his learning curve. 

You don’t have to always have it all figured out. You Just have to be smart enough to take action everyday as you learn from mentors who have already achieved success in your area. 

Remember to always surround yourself with winners, and people you admire. This way, you too will manifest the life that you desire. 

 

Matt’s superpower. 

Matt has two superpowers. 

Asking the right questions and being a great listener. 

He’s learned this quality from people that are way smarter and more accomplished than him. Such individuals are ever curious, talk less, and listen a lot. 

It’s for this reason that Matt sees himself a sponge. Always willing to learn from other people, and reciprocate what he’s learned by adding value into other people’s lives. 

In Order to attract the right mentors into your life, Matt suggests that you adopt being likable. 

You can do this by following the Likability formula - Staying confident, humble and knowing your value.

Quotes

I’m always looking to improve and grow myself. I want to live like a millionaire, not just in my bank account, but also in all other areas of my life; from being a husband, father, friend, and leader in society. 

 

I didn’t want a cap or ceiling over what I could make as my income. I wanted to be in total control of what I earn, whilst still creating wealth, and adding value into other people’s lives. And real estate provided this opportunity for me. 

 

The reason I love surrounding myself with mentors and coaches is because they have the results that I want. They have the wisdom, experience, network and tools, to help shorten my learning curve.
