3 Things You’ll Learn From This Episode

The one thing successful people consistently do (05:29 - 07:25)

One of the biggest distinguishers of people who succeed and fail is just showing up everyday and building momentum. Make a lot of connections everyday, and build up your pipeline and your database, and persist even when it’s challenging.  

 

Why agents must be mentally fit to make it in this industry (12:07 - 14:00)

One of the things we don’t do well in our business is developing and training resilient people because that’s the thing people need more than anything else. You’re going to have challenges and bad moments, but you need to be able to bounce back, not break. Building mental fitness is one of the most important skills in a real estate agent.

 

The importance of consistently being around the right people (18:44 - 19:55)

Level up the people you associate yourself with. Negative people can drag you down, so make sure you’re clear that the people you spend time with are a positive influence, not a negative.

If we develop our mental fitness, the highs and lows of real estate business won’t derail us from our goals. In order to become more resilient, we need to be more self-aware, more self-regulated, and optimistic. We must have mental agility and faith in the strengths of our character. Connect with people by building strong relationships, having empathy, and being willing to ask for help. The business itself isn’t complicated. If we master ourselves, the rest becomes easier.
