Zig Ziglar's Best Practices of a Real Estate Agent

By
Real Estate Agent with Re/Max Preferred Associates, Toledo, OH 353315

Recently, I came across an article by Zig Ziglar that I thought I would like to share with you.  As real estate agents we have a responsibility for our own personal development.  Most of the time we stay on tract but every so often we need to reinvent ourselves and remind us what should be our daily practices.

Read over this list and see if you answer "A;ways/Yes", "Often," "Sometimes," or "Never/No."   Highlight the activities you need to remind yourself to improve on and congratulate yourself on the ones you follow regularly.

I make choices recognizing how they shape my future.
I work toward using my full potential.
I am willing to change.
I act with honesty and integrity.
I believe I have the necessary qualities for success within me.
I manage my attitude.
I associate with positive people.
I look for the good in other people.
I give sincere compliments.
I help others be more successful.
I take inventory of my positive qualities.
I find new ways to motivate myself.
I plan my activities.
I regularly set goals.
I believe goals are necessary.
I believe I can reach my goals.
I try to improve on yesterday.
I use my time wisely.
I learn from reading inspirational stories.
I am willing to do extra things at work.
I routinely read motivational material.
I consider criticism as feedback for consideration.
I take care of myself physically.

It's good for agents, but your post is very timely. I'm passing this list on to my 10 year old son who needs to know these things, too. Thank you.

I love Zig Ziglar, and I have been to several of his speaking engagements and try to follow his philosophies and have the positive attitude that he has.  I have to say that one of my favorite sayings of his is Happy wife - happy life!  My husband knows that one well! lol

By the way, Zig calls his wife Miss America.  Sweet.

Good post. I like Zig he seems to have a good handle on what is important. I have never read his books just see his quotes from others and they seem insightful.
