Have you heard, that the year is half way over?.....

Have you heard that the year is half way over? All the motivation Gurus are in full gear kicking up some tired old slogans. The question is “how are you doing”? My answer is please get out of my way, I am so busy. Needless to say I have been going nonstop all year, the results are just starting to show. For me it has nothing to do with the “coaches” it is all internal motivation!

What motivates you? I have all the trophies every year, year after year. It is exciting when we get recognized, but let’s be honest that wears of quickly. I have about pile of trophies from the previous company I worked for now I have a new pile from the present company and who knows how many other trophies from previous companies including the Military. Recognition is great but it does not need to be in my face.

Diane wanted me to hang them on the walls of my home office.  I told her no need, does not excite me to be staring at past successes I would rather have my mother’s and my grandfather’s art work hanging on the walls of my home office.

I know how many months are left of the year, I do not need a Motivation Guru to tell me that what I close in the next five months will determine my income for 2016. I work just as hard for my small transactions as for my big ones. Real Estate can be a juggling act when everything comes at you all at once.

BTW that is how I love it, when I have three or four properties in escrow and I am continuing negotiating with two or three others, that is when it is very enjoyable to me. Needless to say it is nice when all come together and I get a small breather.

I am motivated by the happy clients when they get what they want, that to me is so rewarding. The money and the Awards are just the byproduct for me. I love dealing with the personalities and the quirks of my clients. Most importantly I love helping them either purchase or sell their properties. That is where my reward comes in.

So with that said what motivates you? Is it the money? Is it the Trophy? Is it the recognition? Let us know here in the comments.
