Would You Fire Yourself?
The Importance of Self-Evaluation in Real Estate
Rethinking New Year's Resolutions
A month ago, we examined the ineffectiveness of New Year's Resolutions, questioning why we wait for a new calendar year to initiate change. For those who embraced change with the New Year, you're now at a pivotal point where new habits begin to solidify. This is the perfect moment for introspection.
The Self-Evaluation Exercise for Real Estate Agents
Assessing Your Performance
In my latest video, I share a thought-provoking exercise that I've used with several agents. As CEOs of our Real Estate ventures, how would we rate our performance? This exercise involves asking ourselves tough, introspective questions.
Critical Questions for Self-Assessment
Have you been merely coasting along? How many productive hours have you truly put in? Have you been diligent in making calls, following up on leads, learning new skills, and honing your existing ones? Would you be proud to showcase a recording of your daily activities?
The Goal: Continuous Improvement
Beyond Perfection
The aim is not perfection but continuous improvement in our choices and actions. This mindset shift is crucial for sustainable growth in the real estate industry.
A Moment for Reflection
Evaluating Your Professional Growth
I invite you to take a quiet moment at the end of your day for this reflection. If you were your own boss, would you fire yourself, or would you earn a promotion? This kind of self-assessment can be a powerful motivator for greater self-discipline and personal growth.
Conclusion: Embracing Self-Reflection for Success
Encouraging Personal and Professional Development
Thank you for your time, and I hope this self-evaluation exercise offers valuable insights for both your personal and professional life. Reflecting on our actions and decisions is a vital step toward achieving success in real estate.
