Green Bay Packers are so lucky!  They not only won their game today but had one of the most inspiring coaches in the history of football, Vince Lombardi.  After 39 years, Mr. Lombardi's quotes still live on.  Quotes that should be used in any arena, including real estate sales.  Whenever I hear an someone talk about the doom and gloom in real estate, I think of one of Vince's quotes.

"Confidence is contagious. So is lack of confidence."  Who do you align yourself with?

"Winning is not a sometime thing; it's an all time thing. You don't win once in a while, you don't do things right once in a while, you do them right all the time. Winning is habit. Unfortunately, so is losing."  It's about persistence and perseverance.  Establish processes to make your transactions winning ones.  Reveiw them regularly, updating them and improving them.

"People who work together will win, whether it be against complex football defenses, or the problems of modern society."  Work ethically and legally with other agents with a goal of making the touch down and closing the transaction.  Sabotaging a transaction will not result in a win but in animosity. It means we need to provide fellow agents with timely updates, documentation and regular consistent communication.

"The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will."  You don't need to be envious of the success of others.  Just keep yourself focused on your own ball/project/responsibilities.  Stop the blame game, you are responsible for your success!

My favorite is, "Perfection is not attainable. But if we chase perfection, we can catch excellence."

Leolinda - I grew up watching Vince Lombardi and his extraordinary coaching with the Green Bay Packers in the late 60's.  His words today as they were back then are still inspiring and motivational.

There are many pararells between sports and sales.  It seems there are more great coaches in sports than there are in sales.

I never understood how Vince Lombardi could leave Green Bay for Washington DC. We were lucky to have him, but it always bothered me that  he left a community that loved him as much as Green Bay loved him, and still holds him in such high regard. Not a good trade in my opinion - Green Bay for DC - Nah!

Lise, I just think the pressure was too much.  He won three NFL titles in a row and  Super Bowls I and II in 1967 and 1968 with Green Bay, and he accomplished all he wanted to there.  When you are on top there is only one way to go.  His roots were also on the East Coast, and Green Bay was considered an "out of the way" place to put it politely.  I was born in Door County which is close to Green Bay.

He also had an aging and veteran team without the young talent behind them.

Great post, Leolinda from a big Packer fan when Coach Lombardi was there!

Funny, I was just thinking a few weeks ago how most of the truly inspirational quotes I have heard have come from football coaches....and majority of those were Vince. An amazing coach, motivator and teacher!!!
