Real Estate Agent Stage Fright

I have a real estate article that was just released today in RealtyTimes.Com that deals with the subject of agent stage fright. I thought I would share it here on Active Rain. Stage Fright is very real in our industry yet no one talks about it. It is a game and a career killer. The facade in our business is always success that is boasted about, however no one wants to admit that there is another reality - failure.

At the beginning of a New Year it is important to review the way we conduct our own business and affairs and when necessary change course and improve. We can only accomplish this by introspection and personal inventory. I thought the article would be interesting to some, enlightening to others, and amusing. Enjoy!

That is my problem right before I go to a listing presentation after a long hiatus. Stage fear is more like it...
My 2011 resolutions are recorded, how about yours Jim?

Congratulations Jim on the article being published. And congratulations for some many good points about doers and dreamers for mortgage brokers. Oh that is right you were talking about real estate agents. I was reading loan officer. My bad.

BTW, I forwarded your article to a couple Chattanooga brokers.

Thanks,

Jim, great article in Realty Times. We have a few agents in our office that we have trained and pulled through their hard times. I need to read your book.
