Do you love your job?

Do you love your job?

Tuesday is our day for focusing on real estate training and I want to ask you an important question: Do you see real estate as something you have to do or something you get to do?

The answers to these questions will play an important part in determining the level of success you achieve in this business. If you love your job and see each day as an opportunity to do something you want to do, your level of success will be extremely high. Don't like your job, guess how successful you're going to be?

Oh by the way, prospecting is part of your job as a real estate professional.

You can’t love real estate and hate prospecting. Your job is not looking at houses with people and waiting for them to say "I love it, write it up"! Your job is to find people who have a need to buy or sell real estate and service that need.

And that's a pretty good job to have. Think of all the other jobs out there worse than yours. You probably already had one of those jobs and that's how you ended up in real estate. You don't need to love all aspects of your job, but you do have to accept there are parts of your job that have to be done rather you like them or not. (And if you learn to do them effectively you will learn to love that part too!)

One of the easiest and most effective forms of prospecting is demonstrating your results to a community through the use of Just Listed and Just Sold call/mailers. Statistically they rank as one of the best sources of lead generation in our business.

Here’s a quick video to remind you of simple techniques you can use to capitalize on these opportunities.

So I repeat my question to you.

Do you love your job?

All Star Coaching thought for today: If someone says can't, that shows you what to do.

Have a productive day.

I love my job, but with anything it isn't all the time 24/7 that you do. That's just life.

I do it because we were taken advantage of by an agent in atlanta that really did us a disservcie, almost killed the deal, changed agents on us the last week before closing... and did not tell us about it.. and would not do any open houses.. so we did our own open house and sold it and the agent took all the credit.. so i am in it to STOP this from happening to other sellers.

Winston, you're right about that. Real estate is not our life it's just the means we use to have a btter life. Thanks for your comments.

Mark, I think 20% of the agents in the business today got into the business becasue of an experience like yours. Thanks for sharing.

Attitude impacts everything. Anyone can put on "showtime" for a period of time, but to TRULY love what you do and see it as a career and not a job makes ALL the difference in the world .
