GET THE ACTION HABIT

The following coaching tip is for those who are considering leaving the real estate or are working part-time jobs waiting for the market to turn around. Waiting and wishing are not a good mix for success. ACTION is the answer

.

Here are two things to do to help you avoid the costly mistake of waiting until conditions are perfect before you act:

1. Expect future obstacles and difficulties. Every venture presents risks, problems, and uncertainties. Let’s suppose you wanted to drive your car from Atlanta to Orlando Florida, but you insisted on waiting until you had absolute assurance that there would be no detours, no motor trouble, no bad weather, no drunker drivers, no risk of any kind. When would you start? Likewise, many of the agents that left the business, they were waiting and wishing for things to change. They lacked ACTION.

2. Meet problems and obstacles as they arise. The test of the successful person is not the ability to eliminate problems before he takes ACTION, but rather the ability to find solutions to difficulties when he encounters them. We cannot buy an insurance policy against all problems.

Do you have a good idea about your business? Make up your mind to do something about your ideas. Ideas are important. Let’s make no mistake about that. We must have ideas to create and improve anything. But let’s make no mistakes about this point either. Ideas in themselves are not enough. That idea for getting more business, for simplifying work procedures is of value only when it is acted upon.

First, give your ideas value by acting on them. Regardless of how good the idea, unless you do something with it, you gain nothing. A good idea if not acted upon produces terrible psychological pain. But a good idea acted upon brings enormous mental satisfaction.

Got a good idea? Then do something about it.

The Power of Self-belief

Walk in. The door to success is open wider than ever before. Put yourself on record now that you are going to join that select group that is getting what it wants from life.

Here is the most important step toward success. It is a basic step. It cannot be avoided. Believe in yourself, believe you can succeed. Keep in mind that successful people never reach their goals alone.

How to develop the power of belief? As a coach, this is one of the most critical and at the same time the most challenging task during the course of  the coaching and mentoring program. Did you know that precisely, the lack or total absence of self-belief, is one the reason that keeps people away from success?

Here are the three steps to acquire and strengthen the power of belief:

1. Think success, do not think failure. When facing a difficult situation, think, “I will win,” not “I will probably lose.”. Think, “I can do it.” never “I cannot do it.” Let the master thought “I will succeed” dominate your thinking process.

2. Remind yourself regularly that you are better than you think you are. Successful people are not supermen.

3. Believe BIG. The size of your success is determined by the size of your belief. Think little goals and expect little achievements.

If you want to win, make a determination to undertake a personal program of self-development.
