Have You Quit Your Job And Forgot To Tell Your Boss?
Whatever results you’re getting, be they rich or poor, good or bad, positive or negative, always remember that your outer world is simply a reflection of your inner world. If things aren’t going well in your outer life, it’s because things aren’t going well in your inner life. It’s that simple.
~ T. Harv Eker
Look inside yourself, what do you see? You don’t have to share with anyone else just be honest with yourself. Quietly reflect on your answers to these questions…….
Have you been true to yourself?
Have you made an honest commitment to yourself?
Are you learning to work in today’s market or blaming it?
Have you sharpened your skills in a changing market or relied on old techniques that aren’t effective today?
Have you mentally given up on your real estate profession but forgot to hand in your resignation?
Make a commitment to YOU today. There are agents who have found success in this market. They think of changing themselves rather than waiting for the world to change. Your clients need your counseling today more than ever. They need you to talk them through their current situation to find them solutions. Buyers need you to demonstrate why there has never been a better time to buy. In real estate you are your own boss, don’t fire yourself, recommit to your chosen profession. BELIEVE IN YOURSELF!
What Inspires You?
When I run in the morning I often get to 3.5 miles and want to walk. On my usual route there is a memorial dedicated to a young man that was killed in a car accident. It is a reminder to me that my ability to run is a gift, I run for him because he can’t.
This weekend my family and Century 21 Glencove-Morris co workers ran in the Shirley Mae 5K in Atlantic City, NJ. The organization began in 2000 and raises money for Breast Cancer Assistance for women in South Jersey. There are over 2500 participants in the day’s events. Many run in memory of their loved ones. More than 2 million breast cancer survivors are alive in America today. It is quite inspiring to see the many survivors who run in the event; it is those women that we celebrate!
We all have so many things to be grateful for. Many times it takes gentle reminders to realize this. We should all focus on the things that we do have, such as our good health and family, rather than what we don’t. The next time you begin to complain about something that doesn’t seem to be going well take a moment to think about just how lucky you are. And if you are in my circle of family and friends, please remind me when I slip up too.
Need Inspiration? Visit Your Local Cemetery
A very good friend of mine frequents our local cemetery. My husband, George and I saw him leaving there many times. George said “Hey Hon, maybe you should tell Bill his sales would probably increase if he actually prospected where clients are alive!” When I asked Bill about it he said that he goes there for inspiration.
At first I really just didn’t get it. When I think of a cemetery I think all of the horror movies we watched as teenagers. It was a spooky place in my mind that I didn’t care to visit. So much so that I have made it very clear that I wanted to be cremated.
When we are in Florida I run in the mornings. As a result of Bill’s encouragement I run through the Marco Cemetery it is just beautiful. I stop and look at the headstones of people’s loved ones who have passed away. Initially I’ll admit I stopped because I needed a rest from running! But as I wandered around and really thought about each person’s life I found the inspiration that Bill wanted me to experience. There are people who have lived long lives and I would assume many were extremely diversified and fulfilling. Yet I get the most inspiration from the lives that have ended too soon. How can I waste my day when they and their families would do anything to have just one more together? I think of the dreams that they had – the ones that were fulfilled and the ones that died with them.
Today I ask you to consider making your “bucket” list and start living like there is no tomorrow.
Make the Most of Your Day
‘Time is the coin of your life. It is the only coin you have, and only you can determine how it will be spent.
Be careful lest you let other people spend it for you.’
