My best month ever - against all odds !!!

By
Real Estate Agent with Great Homes Realty

May 2009 was the best month yet since I started in real estate four years ago. It did require long hours, diligent work, and persistence, but at the end of the day it was all worth it. It allowed me to reach higher grounds, to push my boundaries, to increase my sphere of influence, to play a bigger game.

What contributed to my success:

1. Making a decision to make it and not be effected by "outside forces", but putting my own inner forces to work: my own INTENTION, my own ETHICS, my own SKILLS.

2.  Promoting heavily. When others felt they had to cut back and economize on their promotion, I would outflow more than ever before.

3. Keeping a positive attitude. I know we lost a lot of agents to the recent market changes. During all these more challenging times, I kept wanting and planning to grow against all odds and I did. Each year since I got into real estate I have been able to increase my production.

4. To produce better results against all odds, I had to become smarter, more efficient, use better tools, use better time management. In a way my work has become easier than ever before. I run a fine-tuned machinary now while in the earlier market I worked on intuitions.

5. I started using L. Ron Hubbard's unshakable Administrative and Management technology to improve conditions in my business. As part of this, I started tracking my statistics on graphs, and each week I would evaluate them, and apply the exact steps as outlined in the applicable policies.

6. I have written goals for every area of my life, and I set weekly quotas for my business to achieve my goals. Then I create daily battle plans to work toward those goals and quotas on a daily basis.

7. I surrounded myself with positive people: people that have winning attitudes, people that trust themselves, trust me, and believe that a better future can be created.

I hope I can inspire some of you out there with my blog entry.

Have a happy and productive day!

Congrats! You are inspiring. During tough times we need to remind ourselves that there is still enough business to be successful if we rise above our competition.

Niki,

Congrats to you! Your decision to "make it happen" worked. Agents have cut back on promotion which is the worst thing to do in a market like this. I too have had record months in March, April, May and June is still shaping up nicely! Its all in the tapes you run in your head..keep them positive!!

That is so awesome.  Life is such a mindset.  If you believe something strong enough odds are pretty good that you will tend toward that thought.  Believe all is bad, odds are pretty good all will go bad.  Believe that one can overcome the bad, odds are good one can overcome the bad.  Kinda simple, but hardly anyone practices it.

Niki,

Congradulations.  If you can make it in May 2009, you are doing something right.  I also like the plan you have in place.
