If you're not selling real estate then it must be painfully obvious that what you're doing is not working.   

Stop for a moment and re-evaluate.   It may be time to scrap most of what you're doing and make a new plan.   If you're a regular subscriber to my blogs, I encourage you to go back over them again and read carefully.    These blogs contain ideas galore and all are proven to work.

Being busy every moment of the day is a good thing....even if being busy means taking time throughout the day to relax...but being busy spinning your wheels is just plain dumb!   Every moment of your day should count for something.

The market is still there.  It may be reduced, but people are still buying homes.  It's up to you to find new ways of cashing in to that market, no matter how limited.   It may mean making partnerships, finding new ways of marketing, altering your routine, getting actively plugged into your community, learning new sales techniques or lifestyle techniques.

In my previous blogs you'll find an entire range of ideas designed to help.   These are ideas I follow myself to great advantage.   Too many agents are shuffling the same old deck and expecting different results.

Everyday should be a learning experience that drives you forward.   Set attainable goals each day and achieve them.   Raise the bar slightly every week.   Build an hour of quiet time into your daily routine to think and learn....then put your ideas into practice.   Plan your day by making "to do" lists every evening.

You will come out a winner.

Good stuff (as always) David.  I have learned quickly that being busy is good as long as it is productive.  :)

Listings are still the name of the game.  But, saleable listings are even better.

yep...I'm so busy I'm bringing on a new agent to help me. Sometimes you're so busy you miss deals. That's not good.

I think a lot of agents get frustrated at the fact that results for their work today are not instant.  It takes time for the seeds to grow.

Success comes from within.  True success is making sure everyone has access to everything in the world, hence we all have true abundance.

I agree with Jim's philosophy which is, "it does take time for the seeds to grow." You don't want to "throw the baby out with the bathwater" because you're not getting the results you expected fast enough. I think we've become as a society who all want instant gratification in whatever we do.

I think it's safe to say that we're all intelligent people in this community, and that we are all learning from our mistakes as well as our successes. The key is to continue to grow and learn and bring your best effort for real estate success through hard work and making the most of opportunities.

I heard recently an NPR interview where someone said, "it is better to develop a plan and fail then to have no plan."

David I've subscibed to your blogs. Keep them coming :)

Despite all the doom & gloom, I know several agents that are doing very well.

Working with the people out there looking now, I am learning a lot. Building on what Steve said, a failure to plan is a plan to fail.
