Making aDifference - Keller williams Agents in Pembroke Pines Know How. How are you making a positive difference in your community? As Realtors we have the opportunities to make a positive influence in the lives of others. I really don't think that we have been put on this earth just to sell real estate, go home at the end of the day, pat ourselves on the back and say to ourselves, Â good job. The opportunities to meet people are a blessing in our professional lives that most people don't have. Do we take these opportunities to seek ways in which you could better the lives of those in our community?
The Realtors, who give of time and energy to their community, are not surprisingly the most successful in our industry and of course the happiest. I don't think that there are any coincidences between happiness felt by those who serve, it's simply the joy of giving. Now I know what some of you are thinking, yeah, they can do it because they make a lot of money. Let me tell you, your wrong, they make a lot of money because they are willing to serve and help in the communities that provide a living for them.
Some ideas for serving your community could be from offering small scholarships at a School, working in a soup kitchen for those less fortunate than us or maybe getting involved with the local Optimists. We have the opportunities to make a huge difference in a child who lives with a single parent or parents who may have lost their job and can't participate in a particular activity such as the school band because they may not be able to afford the small cost of a musical instrument. Some years ago I had the privilege to be involved in a small way with Everglades High Schools Band. I attended their awards ceremony and the impact I witnessed that these music teachers and others had on these young lives was huge. For many it was the first time in their lives that they were being recognized for accomplishment in front of their peers. It is these small accomplishments in the lives of people that help them take the next steps to success.
I recently read where a writer described life like a foot ball game. It is about multiple little successes. In a football game you do not gain yards 60 or 70 at a time; it is little successes 3-4 hard fought yards at a time before you get the touchdown.
So get out there get involved and remember it is through big efforts and small accomplishments through serving that will lead you to a rewarding and successful real estate career.
Share your ideas and what you are doing to serve the communities in which you work.
