WHAT YOU PLANT IS WHAT GROWS

by EXIT Realty Canadian CEO, Joyce Paron

If you plant corn, will you harvest wheat? No, seems like an obvious answer. When you plant corn, you can expect corn. Conditions don’t have to be perfect; however, the seed's needs must be met. And the ground doesn’t judge what kind of seed it is; it simply supports the growth of what’s planted.

Like a farmer who sows seeds today for a future harvest, every thought you entertain goes into the fertile soil of your mind for growth. By your free will, you choose what you sow and, in return, the crop that will grow. It’s easy to start planting seeds of doubt, frustration, and blame when circumstances aren’t as you desire them to be, but you’ll only reap a future of more of the same because the power of the human mind is always supporting you in what you give your attention to.

Has there ever been a time when taking responsibility for our thoughts is more important? What if the seeds we plant in ourselves right now are ones of honoring how far we’ve come, congratulating the small wins, and telling ourselves what a great job we’ve done? Extending kindness toward ourselves matters because the kinder we are to ourselves, the kinder we can be toward others. Notice I didn’t say nice. There’s a slight, yet notable difference between the two.

EXIT’s culture is steeped in getting the best and most out of people. No other business model provides single-level residuals while working, through retirement and past death. We provide this industry with the greatest opportunity for real estate agents and their families throughout their lifetime. This is the long game. It has never been about what’s in it for us today. It’s about what value we can bring to the people who rely on us and our industry, both during and after our careers. It’s about a vision that honors the integrity of this career, those who choose it, and the tremendous impact this has on our industry at large. When we become more discerning about planting thoughts that reinforce ourselves and what we care about, we become part of a better future for ourselves and this business. Plant today for a better tomorrow, and watch how you and your business will grow.

PLANT TODAY FOR A BETTER TOMORROW, AND WATCH HOW YOU AND YOUR BUSINESS WILL GROW.
