Things to STOP doing to help your career

 9 mindset mistakes that'll ruin your business

 1.  Stop Complaining- Nobody wants to hear it and it’s a huge waste of energy!

 2. Stop Avoiding risk - Anything that carries potential carries risk in equal proportion. For you to look at your business and try to eliminate all the risk would be robbing your potential. Focus and learn how to manage risk.

3. Stop Chasing a “Destination” - There is no destination. Your Identity is something you are constantly becoming. It is much wiser, safer and more empowering to see obstacles and victories as signposts along the way to what you are going to become. Eliminate the idea that “When I have _____, I will be happier.”

4. Stop walking into listing appointments knowing less than your client.  - Seek knowledge just for the opportunity to seek knowledge.  Learn, retain, and then apply the knowledge to your business, Your clients can find most data on the internet by using Ai platforms, If you want the Listing you must leave the potential client with more useful market knowledge than they had when you walked into their home.

5. Stop Seeking praise - We really need to become people who seek out criticism, welcome it so that we can grow and know what opportunities there are for improvement. But…Do not judge your success by your haters or that one client who didn’t like your services.

6. Stop Looking for the “EASY BUTTON”- Everyone is looking for the path of least resistance instead of enjoying the process of learning and mastering a skill worth having. Be willing to go the extra mile to get what you and your clients want. Put in the hard work, effort, and time needed to be successful

 7. Stop Putting your fears first- Put your vision first and your fears second.  

 8. Stop Beating yourself up - Failure is the tuition you pay for your success. Even seemingly bad things that happen can empower you. You can’t serve people when you are selfishly focused on yourself, wallowing in your self-pity.

 9. Stop Obsessing over why someone else in the business is doing better than you.- It’s a waste of time, No they are not getting all the RELOCATION leads, No they are not getting all the office lead calls, What they are probably doing is working harder than you are.

 * BONUS TIP:

10. STOP Being stupid on social media…. Should I give details on how 1 off color post, one negative, (or positive) comment to someone else’s post, or a photo could alienate 50% of your client base… 

What is your WHY?

Good Morning

I wanted to bring up the subject of Why in todays writing.

Why did Dolly have leave us after so many years of bring joy to so many people?

Why do we sometimes "want" more, when we already have everything we "need"?

Why do we work more hours than we spend with the ones we love?

Why do we procrastinate things which only help us in the end?

Why do good people sometimes do really stupid things?

If any of these hit home for you think about this...

Try to figure out your WHY today, 

WHY do you work?

WHY do you love?

WHY do you procrastinate?

Why do you sometimes do stupid things?

The way to a better life is understanding your WHY.....

For those of us in Real Estate sales the most important WHY is, why do I enjoy what I do? 

And just as important to understand is the answer if you change "enjoy" to "dislike".....

It is a tough business, especially right now, and you have to have a strong will to survive.

Try doing these 3 things today (and every day) if you want to change your business and your life.

1. Revitalize your data-base by refreshing each and every person with a personal contact, (phone call) catch up with them and find out what is happening in their lives, Children, hobbies, and their home. Gently remind them you are still in real estate and appreciate their business and referrals Also update their contact info, email, address etc. Do 5 of these contact per day until you have gone through your list.

2. Write a hand written follow up note after each call thanking them and again asking for a referral. I suggest you order some personalized note cards and matching envelopes (I use VistaPrint, good quality and reasonably priced).

3. Set up a new contact schedule with each person as you go through the list use these events to start: Birthdays, Housiversaries, Holidays, Hand written notes, emails, texts, and phone calls. Try to make at least one "contact" per person,  per month. Example: If you have 75 people in your A+, A, and B database that is 75 contacts per month, ( or about 4 activities per work week day)
