Being Rather Than Doing; The real estate professional

Being Rather Than Doing; The real estate professional and their time blocked behaviors can hinder your growth.  Let me explain.  I am a huge fan of time blocking. Time blocking has been how I have accomplished much in my life.  I need to prospect and so I time block that. I join a program called BOLD that demands we make 20 connections in a day, 100 in a week. This is time blocking on steroids and you are held accountable.  All this drives more business, more opportunity, more knowledge and more activity, right?  Yes, right.  That is good, right?  Yes, all those things are good.

I have spent a good deal of time looking at those I want to be like. The successful agent who has 20-50 listings at all times, the Realtor® who can balance life and work are folks I search out and ask questions.  I started this career after two other successful careers and know from them the path to success is in understanding the successful.  For quite some time, 3 years and counting, I have been mirroring and matching those people believing that the closer I I can mirror the more the reflection would be me.  This logic is good, but the assumption negates what makes me be me.

I now realize that the things these successful agents do everyday is not why they are so successful.  They are successful because of who they are.  I was given a book by one of these successes and it has opened up my thinking. Getting Over The Habit of Being Yourself, by Dr Joe Dispenza helps you understand that there is a difference between Newtonian Physics where cause and effect rule all actions and Quantum Physics where YOU can cause the EFFECT.  It is about being what you want, not about doing the things that others have done to be who they are.  It is coming from a place of contribution each and every day.  I just wanted to share this with you today because I know there are others out there just waiting to hear this as I was.  Go out there today and know that who you are is more than enough to be who you want to be.  Think, Do, Be is the order for this mindset, and I find that I spend far more time focusing on who I want to be than the tasks that take me there. Go out and make today your best day, you may already be the winner you want to be.
