The Distinctive Agent Show

Special Guests, Heather Press and Joni Klein are two women succeeding in the real estate world. Today they discuss how they have built their businesses individually and the value of flexibility and teamwork. 

When we see people succeed, we often forget to honor the hard work they put in. The real area we should be proud of is that they dared to have a goal. They identified a plan to get there. They identified their challenges. 

Distractions are everywhere. For some people it's social media, the emails, the ESPN updates, etc. When we blame these distractions, the reality is we are not recognizing the constant is us. We are the reason we have distractions. If you can put these off to the side, you can put things on your done list. Stay focused on what you're doing.

Be impressed with the consistency that led to the outcome. It’s is easier to stay with something than to get there. Look for those being consistent and find out how they do it. 

Some items stay on your to-do list and never get done. Do yourself a favor: either do the thing on the list or take it off the list. Don’t keep it on the back burner. It’s taking your energy to keep it on the back burner. Taking it off the list will let you focus on what you actually can do.
