Take Risks and Start Living
Ask your fellow realtors what motivates them in their real estate business and you’ll likely get answers like money, family, personal client connections, and sales numbers. But what about risk and the fear of failure? Can these two obstacles (among many others) motivate us in our business? Sales101 books and classes inform us that if we remove all the obstacles in a negotiation, you will ultimately have a sale, yet we all know the reality is easier said than done. A better question that we should ask ourselves is: How do we ultimately reduce the risk of failed time, money, and energy in our business to stay inspired, motivated, and continue to be positive providers in our community? Accepting risk is a process of transition through one’s own personal experience and support from our friends and colleagues. I hope this year as President of the Santa Fe Association of Realtors, I can help you ‘rethink the obstacles’ in your business as an opportunity for you to unleash your personal creativity and create a cycle of encouragement and motivation in your profession. Your uniqueness is what propels your referrals and creates tight-knit client relationships. So don’t be afraid of risk; embrace it and be perpetually motivated by it!
