Push Your Career Forward: How to Turn Your Real Estate Job Into a Successful Business w/Eddie Berenbaum


Listen Later

As a new business owner, it can be difficult to adjust to the amount of responsibility of being in charge of everything. Are business plans really important, or a waste of time? Do we need to stick to our goals relentlessly, or leave some room for adjustment? How can we stop the fear of failure from holding us back? On this episode, President at Century 21 Redwood Realty, Eddie Berenbaum, shares how we can get our businesses to take off in the real estate industry. 

 

Remain flexible enough that you can adapt to what’s working. -Eddie Berenbaum

 

Takeaways + Tactics 

  • Have a business plan in place. This plan should cover our ‘why’. Once we know what’s motivating us, we can start planning to reach our goals.

  • Be open to adaptation. Flexibility is extremely important, and if we find new ways to reach our goals, we need to be willing to adjust.

  • Don’t be turned off by failure. Learn from mistakes, and pay attention to successes. Everyone fails at some point, but if we concentrate on what we’re doing right, we can benefit from the experience.

  • At the start of the episode, Eddie shared how every business partner’s unique talents can take a business off the ground faster. We also learned how joining a franchise can go a long way in fast-tracking our success.

    We also discussed; 

    • Why talented agents are drawn to bigger brokerages
    • How to market more effectively
    • Why we should aim to partner with brokerages that encourage training and coaching
    • When we start businesses, we need to make a shift from being an agent to an entrepreneur. This requires a lot of planning. Craft a business plan that lays out every goal, and stick to it as much as possible. However, we also need to be open to adaptation at times. Stop focusing on what’s not working, and start paying attention to successes and small wins.
