Motivational Monday…Show Up, Regardless

 

Sunday I watched Tom Brady (the GOAT)  interview Patrick Mahomes (3 SuperBowl wins.) No matter what you think of Tom Brady, you have to admire his dedication and focus.  

 

Some things he said could apply to the real estate industry and what agents and others have experienced. 

 

Since joining the Chiefs in 2017, Mahomes has had to adjust and evolve as key players have left. 

 

Brady admitted that he made similar adjustments. It became less about wondering  “am I going to make the Pro Bowl or MVP” this year to “Am I good enough for my team to win today?” 

 

“Am I the best player today regardless of the circumstances, regardless of who’s playing.”

 

When you’re asking yourself that, you’re constantly doing what you can to improve.



If you think about it, he could have been talking about YOU

 

Through the Pandemic, no inventory, high interest rates, the NAR thing…you have evolved and made adjustments.

 

You’ve kept your ethics and standards but perhaps you’ve adjusted how you market. Maybe you’ve found a different niche market. 

 

You’ve continued to educate yourself which includes being here and learning from others. 

Nothing remains the same…people come and go…our own abilities may wane as we age. 

 

All we can do is show up everyday, be consistent and keep doing what we can to help our team/family/friends. 

 

I’ll leave you with what Brady said to Mahomes…

 

“You’re doing it the RIGHT way. Keep doing it that way and you’ll have success.”

Hello Kathy - the mention of goats in your post has me thinking of who's kidding who.  Not apropos to your topic today but when sports talk raises its head, my mind wanders.  Like an animal not properly fenced perhaps.    Hmm, maybe I'll just kick a can.  I digress.  Or maybe whinny.  🐐

If we don't make adjustments in life, we will certainly get left behind and nobody wants to get left behind, haha.

Good morning Kathy. Am I the best I can be today? It is something only you can control without exception. And only you can be the judge. Too many fail to do so. Enjoy our day.

When it comes right down to it, we are in control of only ourselves. We can't control others wanting to be their best but we can control doing OUR best.

Carol Williams we have to ask ourselves if we're the best we can be at whatever we're doing.

I am reminded of a line from the movie, Heartbreak Ridge.  In it, Clint Eastwood says, "You got to improvise, adapt and overcome."

Myrl Jeffcoat what a great line!!!!  I don't think I saw that Clint Eastwood movie ...and I try to see all of them.

Good evening Kathy,

I'm back from Houston and it's been a long day but I had to pop in and read your post! What a powerful message. Life is full of adjustments and we have to be prepared to change our course if it's not working. Take responsibility by owning your mistakes and change things to be more productive!

Great quote!

 

“You’re doing it the RIGHT way. Keep doing it that way and you’ll have success.”

 

And if you are not doing it right, you will realize it soon enough. If you then learn from it and make the changes necessary, success will be yours!
