Never Let The Big Guys Intimidate You

This is a picture of my young cat Misty stepping up to the plate, literally!  She has certainly disregarded the fact that Rocco and Roxie could squash her with a single step.  With no fear, she moves herself right in and joins the bigger guys. 

This makes me think of starting off as a new agent.  I've recently had interaction with a couple agents just starting out in the business.  The fear of competing against seasoned agents was hindering their ability to deliver what they had to offer. 

I was the youngest agent in the office when I started 16 years ago.  I had the biggest shoes I felt I needed to fill and I was clueless as to how I would ever be able to do that.  Eventually, I learned how to not only use the skills my mother had taught me but to use them in combination with what I knew I had to bring to the table.  It's amazing what you can accomplish when you push through your fears and discover how powerful you really are!

Great image Tammy and thoughts. I agree with "what your mother taught you". You can be trained on other aspects of a job, but Mom's love and advice is gold.

Tammy - It is important to not let inexperience hinder your growth. We all must remember that everybody had to start somewhere, and for most people it's at the bottom.

Tammy we need to have the attitude you described in order to make it not only in this business but any business.  Confidence is contagious, and people like to do business with confident people.

George, it certainly makes a big difference in this business when you walk in the door feeling confident.  

Scott, my mother's ability to capture the interest in all of her followers is amazing.  I tell her all the time that she should be writing a book.
