What is the number one key to success?

If you said work ethic, drive, motivation, vision, knowledge, or any of the other characteristics of a great entrepreneur, then you’d only be partly correct.

While all of those play an important role in becoming successful, there is something else that is much more important: Mindset. 

Ari Rastegar’s story epitomizes “if you know WHAT you want, and you know WHY you want, then the HOW will reveal itself.”

Born in Austin, Texas, Ari’s entrepreneurial journey began at a young age when he would go to yard sales with his mom and learn how to barter.

Since then he has earned a reputation as a thought leader in real estate with his innovative, technology-driven investment strategies.

Today, Ari Rastegar is the Founder and CEO of Rastegar Property Company, which specializes in recession-resilient real assets, multifamily real estate developments, and building portfolios designed to reduce risk and maximize capital appreciation potential.

Ari is a frequent contributor to popular publications like The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, CBS, and International Business Times.

In this episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life, Ari and I discuss why mindset is the most important aspect of any successful person, the best way to respond to ‘energy vampires’, and why you’re underestimating what you can achieve.
