Whatever Happened To My Dreams?

By
Real Estate Agent with Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Metro Brokers

I am sitting here wondering, whatever happened to my dream of becoming the #1 REALTOR in GA?  Whatever happened to my obtaining my brokerage license within four years of obtaining my real estate license?  Whatever happened to owning my own brokerage firm?  Whatever happened to me getting at least 20 closings last year, or the year before, or the year before that?  Whew!!! 

What am I doing?  Nothing.  It is all me.  Me, me, me.  Whatever happened to my prospecting on a daily and consistent basis?  Whatever happened to me holding open houses even if it is not my listing?  Whatever happened to me soliciting FSBOs?  Whatever happened to me handing out at least 10 business cards a day?   Where did all the drive and excitement go to? 

I remember when I first became an agent I was asking EVERYONE, "Are you interested in purchasing a home?" or Who do you know who may be interested in purchasing a home?"  It went something like that.  Did I forget because I have not been doing what it takes to be all I can be.  Daily I was consistent and diligent.  Then for whatever reason, I cannot tell you what the reason is, I stopped.  I stopped trying to make things happen for myself. 

Now how can I obtain the dream just sitting around doing nothing.  Jobs just don't come to your door to see if you are interested in working do they?  I don't think so.  So for me I am fully aware that in order to get different results I have to do things differently.  I am aware that in order for things to happen I have to be persistent and make them happen.

Let me stop eating this ice cream early this morning and get up and do something about it.  I have to make things happen.  I am taking things one day at a time and step by step.  If someone has any suggestions or words of encouragement please send them my way.  Someone please help me to be accountable for my daily actions.

I want my dreams to become a reality.  And I definitely want to be 100% better than what I have been.

Dreams don't have to happen only when we sleep. We are in total control of our actions and people can and do make complete a turn-around. It comes down to "Do I Really Want It."

IF, one wants ANYTHING bad enough and is willing to work hard to get, NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE.

Thanks Mott for responding.  You are 100% correct.  Things don't just happen.  I have to get out there and make them happen.  Thanks for the quotes.

Have you thought about working with a coach of some kind.  You are already halfway there by just identifying the problem.

I have to concur.  Identification of the problem is 50% of the battle.  This shows that you are a realistic person...another 20% of the fight.  Add execution and you are on your way!
