YOU HAVE TO LOVE WHAT YOU DO

BY CRAIG WITT, CEO – UNITED STATES

Founder and Chairman, Steve Morris, often says “If EXIT works anywhere, it works everywhere.” The question is, why are some offices more successful than others?

Are some agents more productive than others? I believe it really boils down to a few key factors like work ethic, leadership, and training. Notice the first behavior I listed was personal; taking accountability in your commitment to do the work necessary to achieve the success you desire. Training is only effective if you show up and it takes work ethic and a mindset to first admit you need training, then to make the effort to attend and absorb the material. Next come the will and ability to put that training into action by altering your old routine and creating a new healthy habit to reach your goals and milestones. I’d say a lot of people struggle in this area because change can be difficult.

So, a good place to start is by asking yourself some questions, “Do I love what I’m doing?” “What is my strength?” “Is what I’m trying to accomplish really making me happier or am I struggling to shove myself into a position where it simply doesn’t bring me joy?” If you aren’t in love with what you’re doing, getting up and being motivated can be painful.

Let’s assume you love what you do every day. We hear the idea of getting back to basics and though it’s a bit cliché it really is the simplest of solutions to most problems. If you talk to most coaches, they first take you back to a business plan and goal setting. They identify what you’re doing well and what needs improvement. They look at all the “clutter” in your daily routine and work to reduce the distractions. They also want to know what’s working, what’s not, and where you’re getting the most return on your investment. Remember this is a business and you’re the CEO; spending time on revenue producing activities is vital.

In the grand scheme of things, work, life, and balance are typically weaved through most success coach conversations. How do you achieve this trifecta of happiness? Mindset, skill set, and a desire to win. In a life of uncertainty, you must maintain focus and direction. Live for today; plan for tomorrow. Of all the choices out there today in our industry, EXIT Realty is the best option to help you achieve your goals. And let me remind you: your success, happiness, and financial security matter deeply to us. Remember, if the grass looks greener across the fence, they may have a septic issue.
