How do you see yourself???

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams Realty Chesterfield

So, how do you see yourself???  

Lou Cassar says "You become what you see yourself to be."  So that leads to the question, how do you see yourself?

Do you see yourself as a real Loser?  As someone that couldn't sell water to a man in the hot desert?  Or, someone that couldn't win an argument even if you paid the other person to let you win!  Or maybe someone that could write a contract for $10,000 over list price and not get it accepted?  Maybe, you are someone that sees themselves as an agent that couldn't get your parents listing even if you paid them to list with you.

Do you see yourself as a real winner?  Every morning you wake up and cannot wait to get to work and have the opportunity to sell another home or two!  When people ask you how do you do all of the business that you are doing you look at them and tell them it is because you are a winner not a loser.  You are an overcomer not a under achiever.  It seems as though the work ethic of these two visions that we have about ourselves are at the opposite ends of the spectrum.

The person that thinks they are a loser will act that way.  We stop doing those things that would make us a winner.  We second guess everything that we do and even question why others are doing things that you can't get to work.  We have a tendency to just give up and complain "why them and not me?"

On the other hand the winner is constantly doing something.  Everything they do seems to work.  More fodder for the loser!  They are always up and smiling, nothing will get them down.  Good on them!!!!!  They could sell ice cubes to an Eskimo at double the normal price and the Eskimo would be happy to pay the price!

So my point is rather simple, if you are one that sees them self as a loser do a 180 and turn your stinkin' thinking around.  Start being positive about life and what you are doing.  Remember, whether you think you can or can't you are probably right.  We get our head handed to us by the media enough we don't need to beat up on our self too. Have a GREAT remainder of your week!

I have a saying most of the other agents are getting tired of hearing " Attitude will determines your altitude" Thanks for reinforcing my thoughts.

To quote the guy in the commercial, " The man who believes he can and the man that believes he can't are both right!"
