New Real Estate Agent Mindset

This episode is a mindset lesson taken from a book by Og Mandino called "The Greatest Salesman in the World." This is one of the first books that was recommended to me by another individual in the real estate industry. There are ten lessons in the book and the first one is all about forming good habits.

Since habits are involuntary, on auto-pilot if you will, they can make a huge difference in how we act and how others perceive us. As new real estate agents, how we are perceived by potential clients is very important, especially as we begin to lead gen and grow our business. In his book, Mr. Mandino spells out the importance of our habits and how they directly impact our success. And fear not, bad habits can be dropped and new habits can be formed!

If you are a new real estate agent, looking for actionable tools, tips, strategies, and advice, you've come to the right place.

Welcome to the first episode of New Agent Mindset, a podcast specifically for new real estate agents. My name is John Pena and I became a licensed realtor in January of 2020, a couple weeks before the global pandemic blew up in the United States. My original intention was to start a book club locally, the New Agent Book Club, to get together with other new agents and learn from the best books out there like "Sell It Like Serhant" by Ryan Serhant, "The ONE Thing" by Gary Keller, and "The Greatest Salesman in the World" by Og Mandino. However, a book club during Coronavirus was not going to fly!

Instead, I realized that there most certainly are other agents out there just getting started, so why not create a podcast and community for them? I plan to share the best strategies, tools, tips, and advice for new real estate agents while building a community to support all of us. In addition to the weekly podcast episodes that will be released, there is also a Youtube channel (New Agent Mindset), a website (newagentmindset.com), and a private Facebook group (you guessed it, New Agent Mindset).

This first episode tells my story and explains some of the content that I plan to cover. If you are a new real estate agent looking for best practices and/or community support, please consider checking out the website and joining the Facebook group. I look forward to meeting you and going on this journey with you!
