Some people are drawn to a real estate career by the image of wealth. Holiday travel and expensive cars are fine, but real success over time takes staying hungry and humble. In my Coaching Tip today I’ll tell you what that means and why it’s important.
Your real estate career can bring you financial success, but to stay hungry you have to know what you want. Instead of spending your income on symbols of success, invest in security for the future. Most of all, put that money into growing your business. The team you build, coach and mentor will help you build your business. A great agent also understands the importance of being of service to their customers. It’s all about their needs and situations, and how you can help them. Being humble in your work will help you build the relationships and longevity you need for long-term success.
A business that’s not successful has a lack of vision or a shortage of capital. It’s up to you to stay focused on your goals and manage your profits wisely. The key to staying hungry is a desire to be the best you can be. Put the right people in the right positions so you can do your most inspiring, challenging and necessary work.
It’s also important to balance your private and public life to serve your customers and still do things that are important in your life. Your image should reflect stability and substance, not vanity and consumption. Being humble and approachable will help you connect with customers through empathy with their desires and concerns.
Your greatest competitor is yourself. Your challenge is to get better every year. And you’ll achieve true success through staying hungry and humble.
