Did you watch the rescue of the Chilean miners? Talk about inspiration!! And we think we have challenges! In a story on CNN, the reporter said, "Their story demands we re-evaluate foregone conclusions, that we find a purpose for hope no matter our despair." So, how ARE you doing? In every presentation I make, I am asking “who is having their best year ever?” and, always, hands that go up. People are finding ways to survive and thrive right now -- often by seizing the opportunities that the current situation has given them. Is that you? I hope so! The good news, of course, is that in spite of the gloom and doom that is being promoted by the media, folks are still buying and selling. I know... not as many, but if some can have their best year ever… you can too! When I talk with my coaching clients, I am reminded of how important it is to stay positive and creative. Agents tell me they don't want to call their sphere of influence and hear their pain. It is easy to buy into the plethora of excuses as to why today’s conditions are going to impact us negatively. Each day is an opportunity to shift (thanks Gary Keller for your book Shift) and take advantage of what is (thanks Landmark Education for your course The Forum), so that we can Relax & Thrive (thanks www.Abraham-Hicks.com for your work on Attraction)! So….. how does one thrive? Here are five actions to help you thrive: I hope you THRIVE this week! It IS up to YOU!!!! ...or if you haven’t joined my my Facebook business side…please come play! ...or come play on FourSquare!cumstances to choose your attitude!
are buying & selling? What do they need? Take a good look at the your local market statistics. Take a good look at your strengths and passions. Where do these two intersect? If the market has a high percentage of short sales, investors, first time home buyers…. have you created compelling reasons why these buyers and sellers should choose you? Rethink your services and pay attention to what the busy agents are doing.
And, for those who won’t, a discussion about Plan B serves them for when they have to make a choice. Put together a handout to use on the listing appointment with their choices and resource information. An agent who can calmly and creatively help people is an agent who is going to be appreciated and to whom future business will be referred. Be very, very picky about which houses and which sellers you will put your good name on.
each day is perhaps the most important tool you have to create a great business.
You have the ability at any moment under all circumstance to choose your attitude!
If we aren’t already connected…
How are you going to THRIVE???? It IS up to YOU!
