We are in some changing times! The clock changed, the weather is changing, the economy is changing, the price of gas is changing, and the leader of our country will be changed. As Realtors we have to be resilient to change or find ourselves in the Realtor graveyard that so many have thrown themselves in when it became less easy to make a buck.
I love this business because I get to talk to people and meet new friends and working is not like work when you love it. The changes that come with this career can help us learn to adapt to many different situations and realize that there so many different people in the world that we need to make sure who we are before we go out and meet people. By changing ourselves to adapt we are actually becoming more stable within because we learn more about ourselves and understand people better and this makes us better Realtors.
A motivational speaker came to one of our meetings and said that we need to spend more money on ourselves than we do on our business. She meant more money improving ourselves. Of course she was trying to get us to buy a ticket to her seminar, but I believe her in part minus the money. We need to spend more time on ourselves and improving our personalities and adjusting ourselves to our environment with people and within real estate than time spent on the business alone. This doesn't mean to not make those phone calls or emails or ignore our business but to learn with every step throughout the day how to improve ourselves so that our business will improve. We can even spend time researching online ways to improve the nice parts about ourselves.
One last thing that my current boss said to me is to focus on the good things about my personality and forget about the bad things. What we focus on becomes bigger. So whether it's negative or positive we can increase features of our personality so it just makes sense to focus on the positive!
So, changing and adapting ourselves to survive is an age-old event. Adaptation. Survivability. Natural selection. Does this ring any bells? As I was a scientist for so many years I love to look at science and recognize how we are all just living things on this planet and we are all pretty much the same. We've all agreed to turn our clocks back in the fall, fall back, and turn our clocks forward in the spring, spring forward. We've all decided to be in real estate on our own accord and those of us who stick out these changing economic times have made a choice to adapt to our environment.
How can I possibly end this without a comment about the recent election.... Well, I can and I will. You can draw your own conclusions!
Have a Super Fabulous and Wonderful Day!
