You Need More Than Motivation Alone

I want to get a little personal with you today. I want to know your “why”. Why are you a realtor? What drives you? What makes you get up every morning and follow up with those leads, and make new contacts?

Do you have your why? Write it down as a reference for yourself.

Ok, now that you have your why, what is your goal? Do you have one?

I want to ask you something: what are you doing to reach your goal?

 

We’ve all got goals that we want to achieve in our business and for most of us the path starts by setting a goal. I want to challenge your way of thinking. I’ve realized that when it comes to getting things done and actually making progress in your business, there’s a much better way of going…

There’s a time for texting and a time for phone calls or even, dare I say, face-to-face communication. To know the proper avenues of communication will prove something of value to your business. Sending texts to your clients may seem effective and able to save time, but there can be consequences you might not realize.
