- Practice self-care, this is vital if you’re going to become a real estate agent superstar. Some people get so caught up in their business that they forget to take care of themselves too. One reason a lot of agents drop out of the business is because they are simply burnt out. Since agents work so many evenings and weekends, they think it’s impossible to take time for themselves which is simply an unhealthy way to live. What you should do is schedule yourself into your schedule just as you would with a client. Make sure that you make time for yourself, try to put at least 3 one-hour blocks per week in your schedule to take care of yourself.
- Make goals and WRITE them down. It’s really easy to come up with a goal in your mind, but if you don’t write it down what are the odds that you’re actually going to achieve this goal? The odds are probably slim. If you write your goals down and have them in front of you each day, it’s much more motivating and easier to focus on these goals. Make goals in more than just your real estate business. Have goals for business, family, finances, social life, mental, and spiritual.
- Combine your online and offline marketing strategies. To become the real estate agent superstar, you want to be, make sure you combine many different types of marketing strategies. Newer agents are typically very focused on the online leads and marketing online. Yes, this is important, but so are the traditional marketing practices. You should have a website, blog, social media, etc. but make sure to balance this with postcard markets, door-knocking, cold calling, and other traditional techniques. To be a superstar you need to build a network quickly. Try your best to get your name in front of prospects regularly and try to take advantage of every networking opportunity that comes in front of you.
- Understand that boring repetition is what create momentum and leads to success. Yes, it gets old making calls every day and sending out postcards every week. However, understand that being consistent and repetitive will bring you consistent success. The only way to get consistent success is by putting in repeated and consistent effort.
