If You Kiss Enough Frogs, You're Bound to Stumble Upon a Prince

FrogI have met many realtors over the years and this saying keeps coming to mind... If you kiss enough frogs, you're bound to stumble upon a prince. I don't mean that if I meet enough realtors that I will stumble upon a gem even though that is actually true! LOL!!!

But think about how this relates not only to your personal life but to your work life as a realtor. If you meet enough prospective buyers and sellers you will develop your business. It's a numbers game!

It also may relate to the company you are associated with... you are there, don't like change, don't want to jump around, but you are not feeling you are getting what you need from your company. Do you stay or do you start checking out the frogs in search of your prince?

From my personal experience I would say start checking out the frogs! You need to see what else is out there. I have been with a couple of companies; I had my own real estate office, worked for a large real estate franchise as a manager and have now found my prince in EWM!

I think that if I hadn't had the nerve to keep looking for what I wanted I could have been stuck in a place of discontent where I would not have been as productive as I would have liked. Does this sound like you? If so, keep searching the prince is out there, yours if you look hard enough. If you don't look you can be sure you will not find him!

Remember the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over & over again and expecting a different result!

So true....I too have worked for lots of real estate companies, owned & operated a property management business and now have finally found a home. You do have to make sure that YOU are happy.

Randi - that was great!  It also says a lot about EWM that their managers are blogging - not too many are doing that in Miami.

Forget the prince -- you are the "Queen".  I hear nothing but good things about you!
