Although I am writing more about my sport than about real estate here, please bear with me as there is a correlation between the two...and I want to share it with you.
I'm 52 and training for a National and World Powerlifting Championships. I've just broken 8 national records last month. This was after a 15 year retirement, 4 shoulder surgeries and an infection from one of them that nearly killed me in 2005. The doctor said I would never have full function of my right shoulder again.
Unacceptable. I love my sport, I love my family, I love life.
I fought back.
Bullheadedness is a side effect of my main passions: powerlifting and real estate, and more importantly, family.
Passion, self belief and determination are the parents of bullheadedness and determination and I'm all for it! It's what makes good become great. Watch for my blogs on the Canadian Championships in March, then the Worlds in October.
It will be bullheadedness at its finest as I plan on more records before I'm done. Did someone say something about a bum shoulder?
But here's the magic that is happening...and this is about real estate.
My business is improving as I take this fantastic mental and emotional journey...I do believe they are closely connected. The attitude needed as an athlete is spilling over into my work. The energy, drive and confidence I am experiencing on the job is incredible...and my clients are taking notice of this, too.
Within the last 48 hours:
- I closed the sale on one of my listings.
- I drew multiple offers on another of my listings (slam-dunking it home with an accepted offer today).
- I did a listing presentation with my first ever developer (been courting this one for 6 months now) and it's looking really good. He's building one house after another and he seems to like the way I work.
- I picked up 2 bona-fide ready to go buyers and, as we know, buyers are golden.
I guess what I am saying is simply this:
Take whatever you are passionate about to soaring new heights and you will renew your energy, drive and self confidence in a way that may surprise you. This will affect ALL aspects of your life as the positive energy you emit becomes apparent to those around you.
- Believe in yourself.
- Believe in what you do.
- Believe me: The rest will follow.
Shine on and be the very best that you can be...We all have a champion sleeping inside of us. It's time to wake him or her up!
