Can’t never could do nothin…

I been there done that so here we go...  I know you've seen those agents (people) who constantly say "Oh I can't go there, or I can't do that."

I just don't understand because I believe if you want something and are physically and mentally able nothing is unattainable (there are exceptions under those circumstances) so don't come crying to me saying I can't make another call, I can't knock on another door, I can't (you get the picture)?.. Don't get me wrong there are client's you can't and I do mean can't deal with.  They are just as stubborn as I am if not more so and as much as I hate to say it you may need to drop them and say NEXT.  That's the kind of can't you can't do nothing about, otherwise can't should not come out of your mouth or be used in your language.  As George Reeves said "Knock the t off of can't."  Be the I can get it done agent and get ur done..

If you do send them to me I will.  I will take that listing you can't, I will write that offer you can't, I will write that blog you can't and so on and so on.  Just don't send me any of those stubborn clients no one can deal with...

Thanks and remember: "It's a great day to buy or sell a home."

Aaaa I was going to say double negative in your sentence but I think thats a triple negative. I am such a stickler about those I think I must have been yelled at as a kid. Sorry couldnt get past the title.

That's okay and thank you for the kind words.  After 29 years in law enforcement I have quite a vocabulary.  It can go down hill in a second... Thanks again.

That was great, James!  If more agents spent time focusing on what they COULD do or what they COULD try, how much better off their businesses would be, huh?

Reading your title gives me a headache.  Maybe you should re-phrase it.

James, I remember my parents always telling me there was no such word as "can't". Good Post!

How many agents are doing just that - saying "I can't"??  We have 6 children and they are NOT allowed to say that they can't do something.  You can try.  Even if you don't actually succeed, you've gotten a lot further along than you were before you started!
