So....Who You Workin' For??

Careers in real estate. Wow. They come in so many different sizes and shapes. Some work for corporations, government, big brokerage firms, small brokerage firms, the list is endless. However, those that matter most, at least in my biased opinion are the little guys. The independents. The guys and gals who are getting out there and hustling everyday. Meeting people, going places and putting together deals that others just don't see, do not want to see or do not want to deal with.
So....how does one make a go at it as an independent? Should you be licensed and work for a smaller firm that gives you independence, but little support? Should you align yourself with like minded individuals for a support network and encouragement? Where do you find the deals and the clients when you're Realtor Solo? Are you networking? Prospecting? Buying people lunch? Taking time to enjoy life? What about meditation and prayer?
Real estate is very much a people business. The more people, the more business. However, that "people" base has to continually be nurtured and developed. Water it a little bit by having your own well rounded life.

Real Estate: 3 Steps to a Rewarding Career

1. The Power of Your Imagination

Einstein once said, "Imagination is more important than knowledge." Have you imagined what you want your professional life to look like in a year? Or three?

  • See your self doing the work you love and visualize yourself putting in the hours to make it happen.
  • Who are your ideal clients and colleagues?
  • What are your ideal surroundings? Work environment?
  • What is your ideal income?
  • What steps are you taking to obtain it?
2. Become aware of obstacles, challenges and self-limiting beliefs.

  • Identify self-limiting beliefs and then practice reprogramming those beliefs to beliefs of success.
  • Recognize when you are sabotaging yourself. Don't stand in your own way.
  • Beware of your own self talk and work to make it always positive and uplifting. Even if your day or struggles haven't been the best.

3. Have a plan to reach your goals.

  • Do you have a plan for achieving your goals?
  • Do you have a time frame in mind for completing your plan?
  • To whom are you accountable? Do you have a mastermind group of like minded individuals?
  • What are your unique selling points?
  • What is your niche? Your target market?
  • What is your plan to reach your target market, identify problems and provide, not only service, but a solution?
