“To avoid criticism say nothing, do nothing, be nothing.”

In my short time in Real Estate I have seen a lot of people who do things the same way that they have always been done. Mainly, because that is what they have been taught from the time they got their license by coaches and mentors with “years of industry experience.” I however have tried to do things differently. But in so doing, I have found that my unique approach is not always well-received.

All I have tried to put out there is that I do things differently. I am not concerned with which way is right and which way is wrong. Many people may like what I have to say or maybe not. My conviction is if I hate when I get sales calls or someone solicits at my home, then it would be hypocritical for me personally to do the same thing to others. That is why I have chosen a different path.

We often romanticize what it means to “Find Your Purpose” as though it were something you can only hope to achieve in the unseen future. Unfortunately having this perspective often paralyzes us and leads us into hopelessness. It is better that we begin living with purpose in the everyday rather than daydream about some mystical “purpose” we’ve yet to grasp. Live deliberately, live intentionally. It is when we identify the purpose of the mundane that we are better equipped when we finally realize our dream. The long road to purpose and meaning can only be trod with purposeful steps.

Peyton Manning’s career has been the focus of much media attention of late. Specifically whether or not he will decide to hang up his cleats now that he has won his second Super Bowl. In thinking about the fortunate position Manning finds himself, I am reminded that we also should be striving to “go out on top.” Life is not just about arriving safely at death. We should not be counting down the years ’til we can live the good life in Florida. We should be using each day to position ourselves to the most good in the twilight of our life. I have been challenged to rethink the idea of “retirement” and look at how I invest now so that my final years on this earth are some of my most effective in changing the world.

In the world of sales, you are always taught various ways to overcome objections. But what if the objections that are impeding your progress are coming from within yourself? In this episode, I delve into the topic of overcoming our own objections to doing big things and changing the world. “I can’t…” should be removed from our vocabulary. We need to transform our self-will so that “I can’t” becomes “I MUST!” (I apologize in advance since I was sick when I recorded this. My voice gets weaker as the episode goes along and I take no responsibility for the noises coming from my nose. LOL! Hopefully it does not impede your ability to listen and grow!)
