QUOTE FOR THE DAY # 21

By
Real Estate Agent with Century 21 Olde Tyme

"The starting point of all achievement is desire. Keep this constantly in mind. Weak desires bring weak results, just as a small amount of fire makes a small amount of heat."
- Napoleon Hill

After the dream comes Desire. If you have lost your desire you have certainly lost your dream.  When that happens it is time to go back to square one and dream again.

If you are not dreaming of your Real Estate Career and it's success then you should reconsider what it is you do what out of life.  It is no sin to admit that you chose the wrong profession, however it is a sin to stay in Real Estate if  you don't Desire to help those in need of finding or selling their homes.  Look to that which makes your heart sing and you will find your dream and the desire will be there. 

By finding your dream your desire will set the world on fire.

Great point.  I love what I do.  I help people make a lot of money.  Just as importantly, I help a lot of people  not to lose money.  Those people should never be investing in RE anyway.  I can't save'm all.  But I can make a difference to the ones I get to.

Chris,

You are so right.  If an agent is at the top of their game they can make great differences in their clients life.  Let's hope they are all for the good.

As you know this new year started out with a bang for me but it wasn't exactly the bang I wanted.  I'm sorry I missed being in this picture but no one notified me.  Hope this year will be all that you want it to be and I WILL be seeing you around the watering hole soon.

Thanks for stopping by and commenting.

This year started out being rather a difficult one for me and I just wasn't able to get to the computer.  But I think the road ahead is looking better now and I will be back in the swing of things soon.  Thank you for caring and for stopping by and commenting.

It is a truism that you have to love what you do and do what you love.  It makes all the difference and turns a job into a career.  Thanks for taking the time to stop by and commenting.

I believe the reason that there are those in this business for the wrong reasons is that #1, they didn't know any realtors before they studied RE, 2, the course for REA doesn't teach you what it is to be an agent. They cover only the legal aspects of RE.  New agents have their licence in hand and are ready to go out and make a deal a day.  REALLY, I had a new agent tell me that in November.  She had no idea what being an agent was all about and she didn't want to learn.  What need to be done in every brokerage is a well rounded MENTORING program and if the individual isn't interested in doing that they they don't have to be a Real Estate agent.  Just one persons opinion.

Thanks for taking the time to-stop by and commenting.
