- 07/26/18 09:25 AM
People get into real estate for many reasons. One of the most common is they wish to go into business for themselves and have the freedom of being their own boss. Being an entrepreneur is a mindset. You want to bet on yourself, believe in yourself and you have the desire to bring a product or service into the marketplace in a way that’s better, different, cheaper or faster than someone else. However, not every business makes it. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, more than 20 percent of businesses fail in the first year and half fail by their … (0 comments)
personal development: What Do You Believe About Yourself?
- 07/18/18 11:22 AM
What do you believe deep-down about yourself? According to the Max Maltz, the best-selling author of the book, Psycho-Cybernetics, “Low self-esteem is like driving through life with your handbrake on.” The beliefs we have about ourselves and our abilities have immense power. Positive beliefs motivate us to achieve our goals and nurture lasting success. On the other hand, negative beliefs not only hinder us from creating the lives we desire, they may also provide the excuses we rely upon to explain why we didn’t achieve our goals or didn’t try at all. Beliefs like, “I’m not smart enough” or “I wasn’t … (1 comments)

personal development: How to Become a More Effective Leader in 2018
- 01/02/18 07:48 AM
What makes a leader great? Is it their vision or magnetic personality? Is it their experience and learned wisdom? While all of these contribute to making a leader, one thing that sets a leader apart is their willingness to be all in. Many leaders share their vision with their teams, and then ask them to commit to it without being fully committed to it themselves. It’s unfair to ask your team to commit to your vision, mission and goals if you’re not committed to them. The most effective leaders lead by example, modeling the behavior they expect from their teams and showing … (2 comments)
personal development: How to Make Lasting Changes in Your Life and Business
- 11/28/17 07:49 AM
We live at a time where change occurs at a rapid pace. The number one reason people change is because it’s too painful not to. Often, people don’t change until the pain of staying the same is greater than the pain of the change. John Maxwell said, “People don’t change because they see the light; they change because they feel the heat.” This type of change occurs to us and causes us to go into a reactionary mode. Other times, we want to change, but we tend to go back to our old habits after a while because we haven’t fully transformed … (1 comments)

Is one of you goals to become even more successful in 2018? Now is when many agents and brokers begin to think about what they’d like to achieve in the coming year. Whether or not you’ll succeed in achieving those goals depends on the habits you’ve developed over your career. Your habits do more than help you succeed; they also decide how effective and efficient you are as an agent. If you want to improve, look at your habits first. 1. Wake up earlier.

personal development: Make Time for Learning
- 08/30/16 01:16 AM
Kids aren’t the only ones going back to school. If you want to improve your skills, it’s important commit to learning, whether it’s reading a book or taking a class or workshop. However, if you’re like many agents and brokers, you may say, “I’d love to learn more, but I just don’t have the time.” When you’re busy closing deals, generating leads and trying to build a business it can be difficult to carve out time to take classes and learn. But, it’s a double-edged sword: If you don’t take the time to learn and improve your skills, you’ll be less … (1 comments)
Learning is essential to success; and one of the best ways to gain new information and perspective is in a book. I’ve always been a voracious reader. And, like many people, there are books that have had such a profound impact on me that I’ve read them several times and learn something new every time. Here is a list of books I go to again and again. If you haven’t read them before, dig in and take notes. If you have already read them, pick them up again and see what you get from them this time around. The Richest Man … (34 comments)
Many people ask me, “Joe, how can I become a top producer?” Being a top real estate producer takes time, hard work and dedication. I’ve been a top producer in the business for well over two decades, and in that time I’ve learned a thing or two about boosting production and generating more income. The first thing is you need a system that helps you work smarter, one like the work by referral system, which earns our agents and lenders up to eight times the national average. The second thing you need is support to help you stay on track … (8 comments)

personal development: Let’s get After it!
- 01/08/16 07:52 AM
By J'aime Nowak, Director of Corporate Development for Buffini & Company Welcome 2016! There is nothing like a brand new year to get me focused on my specific intentions, priorities and goals for myself, my family and my work life. How about you? In December, I always take time to reflect on where I’ve been, what we’ve done and how I want to grow in the future. It’s always a shocking list when I stop to take an inventory. Looking at what success we’ve had and what obstacles we’ve overcome in the frenzy of a full life gives us hope and confidence to … (1 comments)
One of the biggest misconceptions people have is that happiness is somehow for other people. How many times have you been envious of something or thought that it was unattainable for yourself? Truth is, every time we’re envious of another person’s success and happiness, we give ourselves an excuse that prevents us from fulfilling our own potential.
If you’ve been a client of Buffini & Company for a while or have been to an event like our Success Tour, you’ve likely heard me tell the story about when I got into a horrible motorcycle accident and was stuck with several … (28 comments)
personal development: Rethinking Success: Finding Balance in All Areas of Life
- 11/24/15 03:09 AM
Gloria Yu had always been successful in real estate; unfortunately, it took a toll on her personal life. “I did well because my life was consumed by real estate,” she says. “I didn’t have a life.” Relying on conventional methods of lead-generation since she began her career in 1991, she built a large database of over a thousand people, mainly through cold-calling. “I’d call a thousand people each week,” she says. Although her business was thriving, she was working alone with no connections to other agents, no structure and no system in place. “The buffini system has helped me uncover my true … (13 comments)
