In real estate you have to deliver the numbers. Of greater long term importance, is to be a student of the game. We have to think back each day for the lesson of the day. Reviewing positive accomplishments is perhaps the most important learning skill you can acquire.
Last week I showed up to a client meeting, pen and paper in hand with a set plan. The agenda was to review the Realtors business plan, determine how I could be of help, and set forth a strategy going forward. As the meeting started however I could sense we were headed in a different direction. The meeting turned into a conversation between friends about real-world challenges, the ups and downs realtors experience almost daily, and how difficult it can be at times to maintain a positive outlook. Ultimately we determined the best thing I can do for them today is to be an influence for good, to maintain a positive outlook on life, to be vigilant with maintaining an upbeat blog, and to be a resource when needed.
My lesson of the day is often our clients need more than just tools and the promise of superior service. Sometimes we need to simply provide a listening ear when the world seems upside down.
Something new happens every day. Those who can figure out what it is and what it means will grow in skill, productivity, and earn many friends along the way. What lesson will you pick up today?
Great ideas. I'm actually keeping a daily log this year, and writing it all down helps me realize that most days, I'm more productive that I thought, which is a positive in itself. Thanks for the post.
