The Mindset Movement: Reflecting and Overcoming Failures in Real Estate Investing

Navid Moosa was born in the US to Ugandan parents. So his family looked up to him to set an example for the future generation. However, he realized that the traditional ‘College’ route was not for him–so he found his way into real estate.

After his first failure on his first steps into real estate, he vowed to learn and move on from his past mistakes. And now, he’s the CEO of NavidMoosa.com where he offers lessons to students in real estate and investing.

Watch this interview as Navid shares his journey, the mindset, and the attitudes that helped him achieve his ‘freedom’. Stay until the end of the video where he shares how real estate agents move from being in an ‘agent’ role into more of an investor.
