BE THE CHANGE
BY JOYCE PARON, PRESIDENT - CANADA
Change begins with awareness; awareness for the potential of something greater or better than what now exists. When it happens, there is often a feeling of wonder. And, as the entertaining of the idea continues it’s often followed by excitement of the new revelation, feelings of empowerment – of what we can do, and an ignition of creativity. Change is also a cumulative result of individual action. Mahatma Gandhi’s words, “you must be the change that you want to see in others,” ring true. One act of someone questioning why we put waste in the trash led to recycling.
Passion fuels change as we’re impacted and inspired by the ideas and voices of others. These new ways of thinking are planted within us like seeds, making it difficult to continue on our previous paths. Interestingly enough, it was this same profound awareness that I encountered when I first heard the EXIT story of single-level residuals. It was exciting and kept me up that night with all the potentiality it kept percolating in my mind. Really? A new, unlimited cash flow stream that converts into retirement and beneficiary benefits, right across North America. That re-writes the narrative not just for REALTORS® and their families, but for the entire industry.
Many of us have seen first-hand the hospital bills that residuals have paid, the down payments on homes and investment properties it has provided, the family trips residuals have funded and yes, even the new pairs of shoes it has made possible. If you can imagine it, residuals have probably paid for it. Money otherwise not available and yet so much more. It also fuels a culture of mentorship, teamsmanship, and has brought empathy orientation to the industry. It helps broker owners to recruit and retain to create a healthy bottom line, and agents to financially breathe and excel. So, it’s our calling to share, with great enthusiasm, the EXIT story of single-level residual income. It matters that we all share this amazing story with everyone we meet. We can’t take for granted that people know it, or think they know it, whether they’re in real estate or not. Like any movement of change, you can hear the talk around you, but it’s not until the benefits are actually brought to bear within your own life that you reach true understanding.
We don’t know, when we share this unprecedented Formula, who it will impact. We don’t know who the person we tell will share it with in turn. The ripple effect of one conversation can be more far-reaching than any of us can imagine. Every voice matters. Together we’ll change this industry for the better.
