If you have the inner drive to go from “good to great” in your luxury real estate or real estate career, one of the concepts to take to heart in Jim Collins’ best selling book, Good to Great, is the hedgehog concept.
This is based on the fable of the fox and the hedgehog, the fox is unfocused with many strategies which are ever changing, whereas the hedgehog has focus, and makes changes to fit the strategy.
The hedgehog strategy is a focused strategy. Hedgehogs are by nature not predators. They mind their own business, and they fend off predators (competitors) by simply rolling up into a ball exposing their sharp quills. The predators are quick to move on without challenging.
In real estate, hedgehogs identify a market niche that they can master better than anyone else in the marketplace. The choice of niche fits them like a glove and shows off their authenticity. They are passionate and love what they are doing. Because of their expertise and dedication, they become the first to come to mind, when someone wants to list or buy a property in a given niche.
Authenticity and focused strategy differentiates the “good from the great,” and attracts the ideal clients. Follow the wisdom of the hedgehog!
"The fox has many tricks. The hedgehog has but one. But that is the best of all." Ralph Waldo Emerson"
