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!

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.

Hell Yeah Henry Ford!

“Whether You Believe You Can Or You Believe You Can’t – You Are Right” ~ Henry Ford

Make a commitment to yourself today – BELIEVE YOU CAN

Are you a Knower or a Learner? Your KNOWLEDGE that made you succesful in a Seller’s Market may be killing your career. Forget what you know and learn to win in a Buyer’s Market.

Case in point……. One of my newest agents just received her real estate license. She has finished her fifth week of my Secrets to Success class which is by the way her 5th week as a Realtor.

Her results……. 4 New Listings 3 Buyer Contracts all in 5 weeks in a “bad” market.

What is the difference? She believes that she will be successful if she puts into action what she has learned.

As an agent you have to believe that buying a home in today’s market is beneficial to your Buyers. And you have to learn how to provide your clients with the knowledge that NOW is the time to buy a home by providing solutions to all of their obstacles. Sit down with your Broker and open up to them. He or she should be able to help pinpoint what link to success is missing in your current plan. More than likely it may be that you just need to Believe in Yourself and apply what your Broker is teaching you.
