Do You Have the Mindset for Success?
There are many factors that contribute to success in real estate. But one of the first and most important things you must possess - and a topic covered in-depth on day one of every Hobbs/Herder Gateway conference - is the mindset for success. If you don't put yourself in position to succeed, you're going to be fighting an uphill battle throughout your career.
Every time the market slows, I have agents call and email me with the same story. The story goes something like this: “I was talking to some agents about the fact that our listings are not selling, and we see an agent in our office who is doing well, but all she does is focus on attracting buyers. She says it’s a waste of time to work at getting listings that won’t sell anyway. So I was wondering should I stop farming and turn my full attention to attracting buyers until the market turns around?” Float Like a Social Butterfly, Sting Like a Networking Bee! Connect Your Way to Success in 2009
You've no doubt heard the names. MySpace. Facebook. Twitter. YouTube. LinkedIn and Plaxo. The hottest sites on the Internet all have one thing in common--they are sites where people can reach out and connect with others, places where people can network with friends, colleagues and other professionals in their social and professional circles. More than that, they allow people to meet others they don't know who might have common interests, similar hobbies or passions. It's no coincidence that all the hottest sites are places where people can interact and connect with others. Humans are social beings, after all, and remembering that can give you an edge as a businessperson. Networking is a great way to bolster your personal marketing efforts.
