Shawn Rea Of Millionaire Mindset And REA Investment Group: Are You Growing Or Dying?
A major challenge men face in today’s society is the pressure to create their own financial success story.
The pressure to perform and provide for a family can have detrimental effects on a man’s mental and emotional state, especially if he feels he cannot live up to the expectations of his family and friends.
Shawn Rea, of Millionaire Mindset and REA Investment Group, is a serial entrepreneur, mindset, investment and lifestyle mentor, Real Estate agent, international Real Estate investor, author, and professional Scuba diver. His life’s main focus is helping people transform their lives through developing a positive mindset and improving their financial life through Real Estate investments. Shawn is also a father of 3 who is inspired to create a legacy for his children.
The Only Limitations You Have Are The Ones You Put On Yourself
Any negative stories, self-talk, or perceptions we have of ourselves can significantly hinder our progress on the path to success.
Shawn believes the only limitations you have are those you put on yourself. He has a mantra that he lives by, which he says poses as a statement or a question. Shawn shares, “Either ask yourself or say to yourself: “Growing or Dying”, or “Growing or Dying?”. He goes on to say that this is a way of life or a question you can ask yourself to guide you in making better decisions.
Growing Up In The Struggle And Escaping The Rat Race
Shawn grew up in a low-income household with a single mother; his father left them at a young age. He struggled mentally and emotionally throughout his entire childhood and became a college dropout. By the age of 25, he was $25,000 in debt. At that time, he purchased a new house with a salary of $38,000 and worked multiple jobs, selling shoes on the side in order to save for a down payment. By the age of 27, he moved into the house and found himself living paycheck to paycheck with zero savings. This was the tipping point for Shawn, who ultimately made the decision to start educating himself on how he could escape the “rat race”.
After reading books, listening to podcasts, and watching countless Youtube videos, Shawn took action and began to change his mindset, his direct circle of influence, and his entire life. He believes one of the key takeaways from all his lessons is, “to really truly get what you want in life, you need to surround yourself with the right people. Create a strong inner circle of people who are on the same journey as you, or want to be on the same journey as you, and go together.”
Successful People Have A Constant Desire To Win
As you begin to build your circle of influence, uplift those around you and cheer for your fellow partners, friends, and family as they achieve and strive towards their goals. When you uplift those around you, they will also uplift you.
Lastly, Shawn believes, “The key element that makes a person successful is their desire to win. Are you willing to do whatever it takes? Are you ready to sacrifice things that others are not willing to sacrifice? Are you willing to do what others are not? Will you put your head down and work harder than everyone else around you? Winning doesn’t happen when everyone is watching; winning is all the things you do when nobody is clapping for you.”
