The real estate market is especially challenging right now. High interest rates keep buyers at bay, sellers are hesitant to give up their locked-in low rates, and our industry has taken a public relations beating. It’s enough to make any agent reconsider their career path.
When so much in my business is beyond my control, I’ve been focusing on what I can control – myself and how I show up every day to create my most ideal opportunities.
Success habits: The building blocks of a thriving business
In the 4th module of The Elevated Agent Collective course, I teach my students how to create their most ideal opportunities by showing up as their most ideal selves.
Recently, I began Elite Business Coaching with Dan Martell, after a friend recommended I read his book, Buy Back Your Time. Dan attributes his success in business to elevating his personal standards and developing his 5 daily non-negotiables.
Implementing Dan’s 5 daily non-negotiables has transformed the way I feel about feel about myself and my business because no matter what else is happening in my day, I feel good physically, clear mentally, and know that I’ve accomplished things that are moving my business forward. Here are my 5 daily non-negotiable habits as an agent.
Action plan: Habits to adopt this month
Exercise 45 minutes first thing in the morning. You’ve taken care of yourself first, and the endorphins will energize you throughout the day. I feel a million times more fit in just a couple months of doing this!
Review your business tracker daily. Make sure that each day you’re setting aside time to go through your active client list, lead list, pending sales, and pipeline. Use this focus time with yourself or your team to create your daily action plan. Don’t have a business tracker? Reply to this email the word “tracker,” and I’ll send you a demo of mine.
Post 3 stories on social media daily showing a behind-the-scenes look at your real estate business. People love to observe and this is a chance to show your expertise in a friendly, casual manner. Plus, it’s an easy way to create consistency in your social media content.
Connect with your sphere of influence on social media. Spend 30 minutes engaging with your sphere, showing genuine interest in their lives. Comment on their vacation posts, congratulate their recent graduate, etc. Nurture your relationships, 2024 style.
Read 10 pages of non-fiction. Feed your mind with inspiring stories and get great ideas to support your business.
Jazmyn Bethel, one of my first students in The Elevated Agent Collective, recently shared with me how transforming her habits has elevated her real estate business to “flourish this year” in spite of market conditions.
Jazmyn says that focusing on herself has led to a huge increase in her confidence and knowing she’s worthy of the success she wants. This has helped her communicate her value as an agent, resulting in new opportunities, such as landing her first development project.
