Realtors, Is Your Real Estate Career Stalled

Has your career stalled?  Are you dissatisfied with your current income level?

Sometimes, committed agents with high potential need a proven system to break through to the next highest level.  On their own, it’s challenging to figure out exactly how to ‘power-up’ a career.

Unfortunately, managers often don’t have the time to help, or, if they do, it is old: spend money on this, spend money on that, go door knocking, pick up the phone book, etc. All stuff no genuine professional Realtor does because they are busy with their clients and with buyers and sellers contacting them!

“Day by day, what you choose, what you think, and what you do is who you become.” Heraclitus c.540-c.480 BC

This was written over 20 centuries ago and holds more true today. Heraclitus would have made a great Realtor and leader because you can only have the results of a successful Realtor once you do the activity that makes you successful, and you can only do that if you think you can. Every person who got their real estate license wanted to be successful, yet the attrition rate is 80% in the first two years, and five years is 91.5 %!

Why is that?

If you Google “How to be a successful Realtor,” you get about 18,400,000 results! The how-to is there. Google real estate coaches, and you get about 38,000,000 results!

The coaches are there, as are real estate board instructors, articles, how-to’s and then all the franchisors and their “stuff,” and then the real estate website sellers and all their stuff and then the real estate brokerage and all their stuff! That’s a lot of stuff!

So what’s the problem?

As Myron Golden wrote: “One of the most amazing discoveries I’ve ever made in my life is understanding that every human being is already doing 100% of everything they are capable of doing while they are walking and working in their current identity.”

He goes on to write: “If we desire to do more than we are doing right now ( and to do more than we are doing in the past), then we have to become more than we are being right now, and we have to become more than we’ve been doing in the past. Then, and only then, will we ever do more than we’ve been doing and have more than we’ve ever had in the past.”

People want to have success, the big bank account, the house, but all that comes after being, then doing. Doing the right things, and that is what we are about.

Know who you are, be who you are and not what someone says you are. Own the ‘identity of being the best Realtor for your clients, do the right things in sequence and consistently, and you will have what you want, and so will your clients!
