Do you love this business? Are you at the office right now because you are excited about the opportunities that are at your feet today? 

I don't quite understand why, but it seems time and time again I hear the agents I work with complaining: "it wasn't worth my time", "I am only getting $300.00", "What for???", "Why should I do this?", "These people are time consuming." 

The list goes on and I could easily include 100+ other excuses or comments about how they are unhappy or how they only want to sell $1,000,000+ property. 

What I am about to say may come as a shock to you; or you may have heard it 1,000 times already. "love what you do and the money will follow." 

Sometimes we forget why we chose to get into real estate. I know that I absolutely love this business. I love working with people, I love the adventure. I have fun going into the office and working with other agents. But, I also understand that this is a business. If I didn't love this, if I felt like this was a job, I would probably do something else.

EVERYTHING YOU DO IS WORTH YOUR TIME. If you are spending time doing something that isn't helping your business, then yes, it is a waste of time (solitare on the computer, watching tv, running personal errands). 

If you are in front of people with an opportunity to meet a potential customer or client then why are you complaining? Of course if you are showing a rental for free and have another client who wants to buy a $200,000 property, then that may not be the best use... BUT, you need to adjust. 

Put together a priority list. With the economy the way it is, you must keep moving forward. If you have no business, get find new business; but DO NOT complain if somethings small comes along... because before you had nothing, now you have something.

I am NOT sorry for being extremely irritated by people who say "it's not worth my time". 

If YOU are sooo valuable that you can't handle more business, then refer it out. Or don't take the project on. 

.... On a brighter note...

It is FRIDAY. The weekend is almost here. Make it happen and have a great day!
