When Achieving Goals, Don't Go Half-Vast!

When Achieving Goals, Don't Go Half-Vast!

 

Attempting anything half-vast can mean the difference between a favorable outcome or missing out on amazing business opportunities. Minimal effort by winging it or sheer lack of commitment is a set up for failure. Who wants that?

 

Success takes:

  • real work 
  • sincere interest 
  • an enthusiastic attitude

 

 

 

Turn problems into challenges, find solutions quickly, forgo complaining, people will tune you out eventually. Ask for help, there is no stupid question and assistance may be just an answer away. 

 

When business becomes brisk, continue to feed the pipeline and pursue work, it will not magically appear. So, avoid half-vast efforts when people are depending on you to help guide them to success.

 

 

 

 

 

Had the turtle been lackadaisical, he would have lost the race against the hare and that story would never have been written. MEMO: There are no participation trophies in real estate. Zero...Nada...Nil...None.

Good morning Wanda,
Great advice. Real estate isn't the place to Fake it til you make it, is it?

Love the last line... There are no participation trophies in real estate.

Funny - our regional real estate instructor always told us to "Fake it until you make it."

There are no participation trophies anywhere in real life. Too bad schools are teaching kids that there are.

I agree Marte Cliff! Participation trophies set kids up for failure, promotes self-entitlement and takes away the motivation to be the best by excelling.

The drive to succeed must come from within Lottie Kendall, we know that. Some of those new to the industry need to learn that quick or they will be on the way out - in no time!
