One bite at a time.
This old saying I use almost every day. An agent will come to me having a serious anxiety attack about some issue they are facing. The one this morning concerned a new agent who was stressing out over everything she needed to do. She is in the process of getting ready to get ready.
The answer I told her was to prioritize. The problem she has is that she is viewing all these steps that need to be done as a huge elephant. The only way to resolve all these issues is to deal with them one at a time. We eat the elephant one bite at a time.
The real problem most new agents face is trying to get everything done in a day. Becoming a good agent requires us to work on our business every day. She says, I need to design my new signs, what about my email signature, I need to do some videos, what about my business cards, do I need to carry a charger in my car for when my phone dies? One bite at a time.
The elephant will not go away. It might get smaller with time, but there will always be numerous things that need to get done. The best way to tackle these issues is one at a time. So, when things pile up and the anxiety levels get too high, get out you fork and knife, relax, and enjoy your elephant...one bite at a time.
