Always Do Your Best and Life Will Give You its Best
But what if you have average talent and average skills, like most people?
How could you ever hope to excel and make a ton of money in our business?
What makes the high paid agents high paid …..is not always their talent.
It is almost always because they try harder. They apply themselves more diligently and do their best more often than the average agent does.
The interesting thing is that most people are of average skill and talent and we all start at the same point.
I asked you last week what did:
Ted Baccara
Lisa Ray
Mike Darda
Michael Ireland
Have in common with us…They all started small.
In the beginning they did not know the scripts. They did not know how to fill out a contract they went to real estate school to pass the test.
They took one listing, then 2 but they started with one……. get it????
They were average people doing average activities. They just did them over and over and over again.
And now they are getting big results….
Everything Big Starts with Something Little.
That means that average or even below average talent is not an excuse for average or below average performance.
Doing your best is not difficult. To do your best is achievable by anyone, yet the majority of people never do their best.
They do just enough to get by. Just enough to pay the bills.
Just enough to keep their job. Just enough to live the lifestyle they have become accustomed to.
Have you ever thought about how much better your life would be if you always did your best?
Would you be proud of showing a video of your work day to your spouse or significant other?
Or would they say what the heck?
Think about that and then ask yourself this question: “How often do I give my best?”
“Self esteem is the reputation you have with yourself” – Brian Tracy
“I’m too old,” “I’m too young”,” I’m not smart enough”,” I’m not talented enough”,” I’m not disciplined”, “I’m unorganized”, “I’m not in good enough physical condition to accomplish that…. and about 1000 other limitations that we can sometimes find to argue for so we can justify why we are where we are and why we are who we are.
The simple truth is that none of these “Stories” have any validity unless we “sell them to ourselves” repeatedly.
Almost every reason we can “fabricate” is simply an excuse that carries no weight unless we give it weight.
While it’s true that if we argue for our limitations our lives will be limited, it is also true that if we argue for the opposite we will enjoy lives without limitations.
Be careful of how you talk to yourself daily, hourly and minute by minute, as that controls the dominant thoughts we carry with us which of course controls the lives we live.
Small steps daily not giant steps occasionally will get you to your goals.
You can do anything you put your mind to.
Don’t be lazy.
And remember…
What I do daily will bring me success beyond my wildest dreams.
If you do what you are supposed to do…The actions you take today will speak volumes as to the success you will have this year.
Your choice…
Now go out and make it happen!
