I follow my plan which includes always evolving and growing.

30 years of no ruts no worries.

I tend to march to my own drum with a touch of what the masses are doing because that's what the clients expect.

The fun part for me IS the autonomy/individualism in our business and being able to let the creative juices flow. When that stops happening, it's time to retire - so, no ruts for me! I'm not ready to retire!

I've always done my own thing Peter Mohylsky and yes, sometimes it gets me in trouble and other times I score BIG because of it.

Peter,

How can you grow if you don't go against the flow and try new things?  A

I do what is uncomfortable to do because on the way you lose the majority of agents who aren't willing to get uncomfortable to make things happen. Once you look fear in the face & decide that today I'm going to obliterate my fears good things start to happen. 

Trying something new can gain positive results Peter! No ruts for me.

Actually all three. Certain things in our business most top agents will do and also do as they are tried/tested/true. I like to try out new things. Sticking with what works is not being stuck in  a rut for me... it's sticking with what works.

It's a combination of all three.

HaHaHa ... 

I march to the beat of my own drum.  

Better faster and cheaper is no myth but a business cry. Also the surest way to hit the ground running is to mimic what is working out there & tweak it

Not sure what everyone else is doing.  I know if I prospect every day I can keep the pipeline full.

I do what the successful 5% are doing in my Buffini & Company coaching and the the successful remaining 15% locally. The top 20% gets 80%+ of the business...so no need to do as "everybody" does, just the successful ones.

It depends.  On some things, going with the flow is the best course.  Sometimes, it's the only course.  On other things I experiment, do my own thing and have a lot of fun with it.

I continue to do what works, but I also test the market to make some changes..... I'll continue to do what works.... just add something new...

1, 2 and 3. Depends of the time. :)

None of the above. I do whatever works for the moment

I'm very much against the grain; it is what differentiates me from everyone else in my market. I offer people alternative solutions to meet their real estate needs. My choices change the risk/reward calculus of the legacy real estate commission compensation model. By doing so, my clients are able to maximize their equity. Consumers want choices.

Variety is the spice of life!

I would use D, which is do what i do best, and that is what works. I also adapt to what ever i need to do, whether it be the property itself, economy, weather or politcis. I do what needs to be done. 

Stick to my plan

Do what works for you, think outside the box, be different, stand out and be noticed.

It depends on what it is and how important it is to me. I have no trouble going against the flow when I feel it is important. Sometime it just isn't worth the trouble. And, I don't like ruts. I get bored.

Marching to the tune of my own drumer was successful more times than wrong.

Whatever it takes

I'm more of a "2" person - stick with the oldies but goodies, but try new stuff a bit.

I do whatever I think is right and to be honest, I don't even pay attention to what "everyone else" is doing. And I don't ever stay in a rut. If I feel like I'm in a rut, I make a change.

Go against the flow and experiment a little. 

There is great comfort in the familiarity of the rut.

I would never do anything that isn't reflective of the behavior of those who lack courage and succumb to the pressure to conform.

Yeah, that sounds like me. NOT.

It is of interest to note, 'Everyone thinks they are are non-conformists.'

 I had a CRS instrutor say to me about 20 years ago in a class. So Anna, why would you stop doing what you're doing if it's producing great results?  It's not a rut if it's working!!  Keep on doing whatever works for you!

I do not care what others do unless it effects my client or transaction.  As an Exclusive Buyer Agent in a Transaction Broker state, I cut my own path.

I have never been in a rut...

Experimenting (safely) seems t be the key in my office :D 

A good niche has worked for me.

If my biz gets slow, I throw in lots of experiments.
