Never Under-Estimate The Power Of Persistence!

Ever feel like there are times when things seem a little more difficult than normal? That you just can’t seem to catch a break…You seem to be working harder and longer but you are not seeing the rewards yet?

There is no doubt the real estate business is as hard right as it has ever been…but now is the time to choose perseverance over defeat! Character is created during hard times…remember what Conan The Warrior said: “That which does not kill us only makes us stronger!” Just as gold becomes more pure as it is refined, we become stronger each time we are tested.

No one is saying being tested is an easy process…in fact the normal reaction is to run from the source of pain or to blame others for our troubles. It’s when we decide to push forward…past the pain…that real growth is seen. Continued…Patient Effort…Give it your best shot and never give up…You must decide that you, your family, and your business are worth it!

Keep telling yourself…”This is who I want to become and I will keep going till I get there…NO MATTER WHAT!” Build your plans around hope…not fear… and remember… you can do anything you set your mind to.

Focus on What You Can Control…Not What You Can’t:
You can’t and never will be able to control market conditions…so don’t try. But you can control your actions and your attitude... and you can choose who you associate with… (positive or negative).

Rededicate Yourself To a Daily Routine To Revive Your Business:
The small activities you do each day, like writing hand written notes to your Book of Business (B.o.B.)…or doing pop-by visits…when done consistently and persistently, has the power to generate referrals. Creating productive business habits will keep you on track to reach your income goals. Activity=Results!
Turn To Mentors:
The guidance of more experienced professionals whom you admire and respect is priceless. Foster these relationships and allow camaraderie to fuel your efforts.

Seek Out Inspiration:
Look for sources of encouragement which are positive and productive and avoid negative media and influences. Listen to music, and read articles and books which boost your mental and physical energy levels.

Celebrate The Small Victories:
Commit to accomplishing at least one little thing each day, keeping in mind it could take some time to see a bigger payoff...lots of little activities done consistently will lead to bigger future rewards. Tracking your results can also help you build momentum in your business.

Always remember to devote some time to enjoy your life so you can re-energize and come back to work prepared to fully engage.
