How to Be Successful

I have been incredibly lucky to be working with very talented and passionate people in different walks of life, including those who are exceptional real estate agents. They have taught me so much about life and business. I want to share those lessons with you. Take them to heart as they are deep in wisdom and rich in meaning.

5 Ways to Be Successful and Fulfilled in Life and Business:

  1. Be passionate about your work and take pride in what you do:

    It makes your life so much richer and more enjoyable if you feel passionate about what you do professionally. Sometimes it is a matter of changing your frame of mind about the work you do to re-ignite the spark of pride, ownership and creativity.

  2. Never stop perfecting your craft:

    Mastering your skills is a quest not a destination. Always look for ways to reach the next level of accomplishment and skill in your chosen field - be it a product or service.

  3. Form community that supports and nurtures you:

    Don't ever feel alone or isolated. Surround yourself with people who support you and share your ideas. You need buddies and mentors alike.

  4. Always look for new ideas and insights:

    Even if you are successful, don't close off and settle. Keep reaching out to people in industries different from yours to cross-pollinate ideas and collaborate on projects that will expose you to new products and offerings.

  5. Find your perfect customers and make them happy:

    Customers will make or break your business. Be aware though – what your business offers is not for everyone. Identify your ideal customers, find the problem they need to solve, provide just the right offering to make your perfect customers' lives easier and ensure caring and memorable experience throughout the whole process. In return, you will get unwavering goodwill, never ending word of mouth referrals and loyal customers for life.

True professionals dedicate their lives to perfecting their craft. Be one of them!

I know a lot of lazy agents who have no passion for their clients or the industry. I've never understood why they are still practicing real estate other than they make a decent living.

Always moving forward. Have to treat Real Estate like a business. Keep Prospecting. After 26 years still learn something new almost every day.

Thanks Irina for a great list. I wish more agents would pay attention to #2. I get as much training as I can work into my schedule. I like the results it produces.

Irina, you are right,  being passionate about what ever we do in life and business

drives out the boredom. A passionate attitude attracts prospects.

Compelling title Irina!
For me, #5 hits home. I hear tales from agents unhappy about impossible to please client. I've found these types of clients usually show their unrealistic qualities quickly. If I can, I'll steer clear of them, because my ideal client listens and is realistic...
