...your success in real estate is part of the great Wao of life.

You alone must walk the path, pass the tests, to attain.

The three aspects of the Wao are: Work, Attitude & Orientation.

The 10 Great Considerations:

• You're actually not dependent upon your company for your success. NAR stats reveal that clients choose people not firms to work with. It's your name, reputation and branding that matter the most. The company building, ballon, jacket, and logo should pale in comparison to the radiance of your personal service.
• Your voice needs to be heard. The best run companies involve their employees in the running and success of the company. Is your voice that of a "child in the wilderness?" Do the commandments come down from upon high in your company or do you and your fellow agents participate in the decision process?
• Is everyone pulling on the same end of the rope? Teamwork is more than lip-work. Walking the talk produces more for everyone than talking the walk.
• Open books, open minds. Are the books at your office open for all to seek enlightenment or is the truth guarded for the few? The light of knowledge brings greater understanding.
• Those who effort only to close deal after deal do not know the grace of passive income and leverage.
• If you build it, rewards will come. Does the benevolent broker in your office reach into the pocket of profits to share with those responsible for success?
• The law of attachment dilutes your heavenly reward. Stuff is stuff and it can nickle and dime your commissions to death. A 100% commission isn't a 100% if you have mandatory tithing. Heal the commission split that divides the self.
• "Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose." As an independent contractor, how free are you? Are you in bondage to your franchise? "Fly like an eagle."
  
• Advertising and branding can be an illusion. Just when you think you are promoting you, you discover your efforts benefit the company more than you - and - they often share those benefits with others not you.
• Teaching the same old thing does not contribute to the evolution of life and success as much as it does to mediocrity.
  

Meditation upon these considerations reveals the secret to all success is YOU. It is YOUR efforts, skills, knowledge and network that companies want to leverage.

One question - How level is your playing field (commission split)? At one time, a broker in the East Bay area had over 80 commission splits on the books - for an office with less than 60 agents! 

To align your efforts with the Wao is to assure your success in achieving MREA recognition.
