Real Estate Agent with Executive Real Estate Network-Century 21-Equity Residential

It is extremely important to me to help the people around me succeed to their fullest potential. Does any one else understand how frustrating it is to hear: "I don't have time" or "I can't"?

I am a single mom, in my early twenties. I currently have 3 careers. I am a full-time realtor with Century 21 Beachside, the manager of Executive Real Estate Network, and a full-time leasing consultant with Equity Residential. The importance of time management in implemented into everything I do. Every step I take has a destination and a goal. Everywhere I go, I understand the importance of taking care of business, in a friendly, patient way; and moving on ASAP. It takes training. During the past two years, I have been taking these goal orientated steps. It took me almost a year to turn it into a habit. Now that it is my habit to ensure that everything I do is productive, I can not live any differently.

 My advice to anyone who truly believes that life is not about the money, it is about reaching your full potential, should definitely live  the following (the money will follow):

•         Pay Attention: Every person you meet can teach you something. Every place you go, you can learn a lesson. Pay attention. Put everything you learn into play immediately.

•         Reach for Perfection: Make sure you are not taking steps aimlessly. Every step you take needs to have a direction. My goal is perfection. Make sure you are constantly bettering yourself. I will never reach perfection, but if I keep that goal in mind, I will constantly become better at business and better at life.

•         Keep a positive attitude: Every minute of everyday. This means that nothing, absolutely nothing, will turn you into a tail spin, Keep elevated. A positive attitude and a friendly attitude towards others will always be remembered. The people you meet, just may be a deciding factor in something you want to accomplish.

•         Always help when you can: Never turn someone down from helping him or her better his or her self. Words are powerful, smiles are wonderful, and a truly needed helping hand is usually never forgotten.

•        Respect everyone: If you show respect, chances are you will be respected. If you are showing respect and you are not receiving respect back, this is an excellent indicator of who to keep in your ring and who to never let in. Only let the people in who will respect you back.

 Applied to everyday life will work wonders...immediately.

 Have a wonderful day.... Thank you for your time!

I don't think you could be more right when you state "every step made has to be in a direction" I try to live my life to most of those same rules, although at times, it does get a little discouraging! I am happy for your sucess and what you've made yourself become! Keep on Rising!

Brittany, That was my question, when do you sleep?  I work a full time job and try to be a full time Realtor, and it is tough!  My hat is off to you!  Nice post, I think that managing time is the most important challenge that we have!
