How do you stay motivated?

The sales industry is stuff. It doesn't matter if you are selling cars, insurance, advertisement, and such-it's a daily grind.  How do real estate agents stay motivated to continue on day after day, week after week, month and month, year after year in the face of rejection, disappointment, and a roller coaster ride of a dozen more emotions along with commissions.

Well, I write my goals down everyday and every time I encounter a frustrating or difficult challenge to remind myself of what my end game ultimately is. I also exercise, blog, journal write, read, pray, meditate, take mini breaks, and laugh.

What do you do to stay motivated?

I think the best way for me to stay motivated is through "outside accountability".  If I have a client I'm working with, I know I will go above and beyond to make sure I deliver .  I struggle with the internal goals, like sticking to my marketing plan.  If I put it in my calendar with multiple alerts, it more likely I will get it done.  However, if I had another agent who I would meet with to do such tasks together, my completion rate would likely be much higher.

I like your brutal honesty. You know how to motivate yourself by seeking fellow agents and co-agents. That's great!

Morning Deborah.

With each rejection brings you one step closer to success. In the end it's a numbers game and numbers are on your side.
