Finding success
What does it mean to be successful? Being successful is when one meets expectations and achieved at it, but success never stops, it is a continuous cycle throughout your life. You can become successful in school, your work life, or even at home. In real estate, success isn’t handed to us, we have to earn it every day because we are competing with many other agents, buyers, and sellers. This career field is filled with failure because it isn’t always rainbows and sunshine, but each time we close on a home or finish a transaction and our customers are able to either move into their dream home or we are able to sell their home so they can move… seeing them happy is a huge part of our success. We talked about how we could as a team be successful for the new year and here are some things follow, so hopefully you can take some of the things we talked about and incorporate them in your daily life starting this fall so you are ready for 2022.
As a business and real estate group, we are competing with other groups that could have 100 different agents, while we are still lower in numbers. So, in order for us to be successful we had to come up with different goals and strategies to complete by the end of the year so we could grow and hit our next year’s goals as the Kate Spires Team and be able to rank on the levels of the groups with many agents since we are always striving to be better. Our first action was to get another agent, which we did succeed on and then we moved on to our next steps in our plan of action for next year’s success. As we work on the goals, we are working on things individually and as a team to succeed in many other ways at work. We know it is necessary to grow our network with the community because it not only helps the local businesses in our area, but it also is beneficial to our customers because they might be new to the area and need a babysitter, mechanic, or even know what to do in town, so that is a big thing we do to be successful in the real estate world. Mindset is a huge factor in determining how much success you will achieve, so that means we work on having a positive mindset and a positive attitude even when we are “having one of those days” because if you think happy thoughts, happy things typically come your way and same goes with negative and besides, wouldn’t you want your agent to keep you encouraged when you’re ready to give up? Another thing we continuously grow in to be successful is our skills and adding more things to our tool belt on a daily basis such as our communication and listening skills, business skills, and teamwork skills and we do this by either reading different informational books or listening to one of the many classes Keller Williams provides to educate the agents. It is recommended that you also broaden your skills though different seminars, classes, readings, or conferences because the world around us is always changing, so in the end it will only help you become more successful.
As the year does come to the end, it can become quite stressful and you could feel as if you cannot be successful if you’re overwhelmed, so don’t forget to relax some and celebrate your successes when you have them. You deserve it.
“There are people who make things happen, there are people who watch things happen, and there are people who wonder what happened. To be successful, you need to be a person who makes things happen.”
