Cultivate a Growth Mindset For Every Aspect of Your Business & Life

We've all heard it before, growing your mind will grow your business and personal life. So why don't we do it then? We have so many excuses. I'll do it when I have time, next week, tonight...later. The truth is, we need to be doing it now. Can you put a practice in place of reading something, journaling, or listening to a podcast just 15 min a day? One thing that all successful people have in common is that they focus on growing. What's the old saying? If you're not growing, you're dying. Well we certainly don't want that. 

There are millions of books and podcasts out there that are centered on growing yourself and your business. Listen to a podcast on your way to or from work…

Your real estate class is over. You have been hired by a real estate company. Now, what? You are an independent contractor and ultimately you either sink or swim. There is very little “on job training.” Most new agents apprentice with a team or under a seasoned agent but in doing so they are required to split their profits.

Let me jump start your career. Let’s cut the learning curve and get to the fun part. There is a lot more to selling real estate than just knowing how to write a contract. You are ethically bound, and selling is indeed an art. Time management is huge part of our business. As Realtors we are essentially open 24 hours a day. Let me be your guide, motivation, and support as you navigate towards success. You’ve got this!

Pork bellies, oil, corn and soybeans are all commodities just like the real estate market. The market fluctuates and is controlled by supply and demand, as well as weather and the financial state of the world among many other issues. The difference with real estate is that there is also heightened emotions surrounding each transaction. Shame, guilt, anxiety, anger, frustration and pride are just some of the feelings connected to a real estate transaction. People seem to attach personalities to homes and give them much more weight than is necessary. Your job is to help your Seller manage the emotion.

When a Purchaser doesn’t like your Seller’s home or a Real Estate Agent gives an opinion, many owners take this very personally. Help them to see —…

Don’t let anyone fool you by “selling” to you that you need to be the best. The key is not being the best. The key is to be better than you were yesterday. To me that means you are always learning. You are always striving to do the next best thing. We can’t know everything, but we can always find the people and resources that know what we don’t. Working with me, or any type of career/life coach, is broadening your scope of knowledge. You will have direct access to someone who you can ask all your questions to and help you make your path a little smoother. Why make learning harder?! Let’s talk and see how working with me can help your business.

Plan Ahead for Challenges

The courses and test for licensing are less intimidating than most would-be real estate agents are expecting. The rude awakening comes later when they don't find that easy income in the first few months.

The real estate business can be fun, exciting, and a very satisfying career, but you have to survive that first year or two to make it all come together. i will help you build a plan and assist you in finding the keys to success as a real estate agent. Together we can close your learning gap and have you on the right foot.

You will be surprised at how restrictive sellers can be when it comes to the amount of access they want to allow into their home. It is helpful to guide them on the importance of access. It is essential.

You really can’t stress enough to them that homes that don’t get shown…don’t get sold. Plain and simple. If they restrict their home showing times to small intervals and it’s too hard for a buyer to see their home, the buyer will most likely cross it off their list or at the very least move it to the bottom of the list.

I can help you work around this issue and more with your clients. Let’s discuss how working together can increase your business.

We are almost at mid-year, and most of us have been sidelined by some unexpected occurrences. This is a great time of year to set aside an hour or so of uninterrupted time to do a mid-year review. Use this time to reflect and evaluate your goals and your progress and to plan for the remainder of the year.

Ask yourself the following questions:

REFLECT:

  • What have you accomplished over the past six months (goal related or not)?

  • What goals did you achieve or make progress on?

  • What are your 3 proudest accomplishments?

  • What goals were a challenge?

  • What opportunities to learn new things did you take advantage of?

  • What goals no longer feel relevant?

  • What mistakes did I make and what did I learn…

Once you’ve achieved your real estate license, shout it from the mountain tops! Make sure all your friends, family, former co-workers, neighbors, etc. know about your career switch and you’ll widen your circle of influence in no time!

I know some of you will want to wait until you “make it big” but this is the time to get your name out. You’re going to need to be vulnerable and put yourself out there. You own your own business now. It’s time to shine and let everyone know.

Successful realtors know the business of real estate, and if they don’t know something they figure it out.  They're always learning and improving their skills. They continue to improve their knowledge in real estate, their professional skills, and their knowledge in the local real estate market. With this knowledge they continue innovating.

If you’re in the car a lot, you can use that time to increase your knowledge. I also use time working on mundane chores to learn something. For instance you can listen to Audible or podcasts while you do these things.

Successful realtors continue to upgrade their skills and knowledge by taking more classes and courses and hiring coaches. Learn more by contacting me to work together.
