You Can Succeed in a Tough Market

The news is full of reports about the troubled housing market.Despite this, you can still succeed in real estate.  Here's how:

Envision success. Act, dress and speak like the respected professional that you want to be.

Talk success. Replace negative statements with positive phrases.  instead of saying "I can't declare "I will".

Take responsibility. Never blame someone or something for your setbacks.  You can't regulate the market, buy you can control your reaction to it.

Take risks. Real estate is changing. To be successful long-term requires that you try some new challenges.  Don't try to duplicate past performances; aim to improve your best by attempting new things.

Stay true to yourself.  If you love working with residential buyers, don't focus on selling one type of property.  Even though you may make more sales, you won't feel the same satisfaction.  Strive to be the best you can be by doing what you love.  Stay positive by remembering that you are the expert.  It's not your fault the market has suffered a downturn.  But your attitude can determine your success during slow times in the market.

Valerie, if you can look at yourself in the mirror at the end of the day and say that you've done your best - that's what counts.

No matter what the market, people will need to buy and sell homes. Those who have a great attitude and are willing to work hard will succeed.

It is all on how we posture ourselves.  Keep your head high, walk with a strut without being cocky, and stay positive.
