GOAL SETTING. What could be more motivating? More exciting?

By
Real Estate Agent with HomeSmart

Working on my goals is an uplifting situation, my career happens to be: residential real estate sales. Fortunately when I began the career it turned into a very exciting passion, in Columbus Ohio. At the time I was driving a fork lift in a bicycle parts warehouse, and getting acheck every week for somewhere around $120. or $150. per week I would guess.

My first sale happened within 45 days and the check I got from my broker was for over: $800. !!!!! And I got 11 more of those checks during the next six months. So you can see why real estate has always been a passion for me.

In 2004 and 2006 I even published books about it. GOAL SETTING. What could be more motivating? More exciting?

The career quickly moved me to Phoenix Arizona where since 1980 I have been a real estate agent. Let me tell you right now... This profession is nothing what so ever like you think it is. You can go a couple or three months with NO checks what so ever. Then how about a $30,000 month! And you think you could never do that again, and the following month you earn: $32,000!

Having worked for more than 1,000 employers, I have seen exciting times, and many times I have GOAL SETTING, on my mind. About 28 years ago my wife and I attended a Anthony Robbins seminar where when Anthony was beginning his speaking career he was famous for having people WALK ON FIRE. Yes after a couple of hours of exciting seminar, we walked outside, into the night, into the dark and a very few of us out of a couple hundred people attending, along with Anthony Robbins walked bare footed on HOT BURNING COALS. Oh you may think I am nuts, or crazy, but you have not heard it all, Other things like a charity challenge, when I raised over $2,500 by playing 107 holes of golf in a single day.

Goal setting. What could be more motiving? More exciting?

By the way I am NEVER too busy for your real estate referrals.

Dan,

Congratulations on your wonderful career.  I am glad you were able to walk on coals with no issues.  Glad you weren't one of the few who didn't fare so well last week at one of those seminars.  Goal setting is vital.  If you set no goals, what the heck are you working for?
