Sometimes I feel as if I have walked thru so many new ideas and trends about Real Estate that I just want to jump off the train and let it head on down the road without me.
Embracing new technology in our business is a given.....but is all of it really necessary in order to just do the best we can do each day.?
I love some of this social networking stuff....it's fun and entertaining and cute and happy and makes people feel for a moment or two comfortable, happy and connected with another part of the world. But I only have so many hours in a day to work and live; personally I do not want to spent all of that time Twittering, Flickering, My-Spacing, Face-booking, etc., etc. A few moments in the evening works for me. Active Rain produces more income for me than all other above mentioned sites combined.
I have a business to run and income to generate and to do that I must be consistent in what I do to make it happen.
Over the past four years over 90% of sales for Ardell and myself have come from blogging. That is the priority for me in maintaining a consistent ideal of working in my business.
If open houses, assorted mailings, door knocking, hanging out on a street corner with a sign, whatever it is...work for you, then do it with a passion and fervor you may not have utilized...and be consistent. Don't get yourself sidetracked in office politics or judging yourself by some "top producer" you know. Do what works for you and keep doing it until it doesn't.
Find yourself in this business.......and be open to new technologies and trends.
But do not let them run your life....our sanity is a precious commodity.
