Destiny's Child & Darwinism

Over the past months, I have come to realize that Realtors®, in general, are not great prospectors.  In most every sales organization, prospecting is expected.  Results are required.  Enthusiasm is not optional.  However, in real estate, most agents would rather fish (market) than hunt (prospect). 

In first or second grade, I learned about the survival of the fittest.  Essentially, the species who best adapted to the current environment, left the cave, killed something and drug it home, survived.  The rest starved out and became extinct.

Survival of the fittest is also known as Natural Selection.  Creation (the environment) decides who is left standing based on the ability to adjust to rapidly changing conditions.  The same is true in real estate.  The market will determine what skills are needed.  The Real Estate Professionals will choose whether or not they are willing to adapt and overcome in order to survive. 

To quote my girls, Destiny’s Child:  “I'm a survivor, I'm not gonna’ give up, I'm not gonna' stop, I'm gonna work harder, I'm a survivor, I'm gonna make it, I will survive and keep on survivin’!”
