Most agents don’t realize that all of their beliefs are learned. People are not born with beliefs as to what you can or can’t do, what you can or can’t have, or who can or can’t become.
What Once Was, is No Longer
As you learned in 7th grade History, many years ago, people believed that the world was flat. The people who disagreed with this belief were thought to be crazy! When it was proved that the World was round, everyone was forced to change their belief! Beliefs are nothing more than a thought you assume to be true.
How Certain Are You About Your Beliefs?
Whether it’s true or not, whatever you believe with conviction becomes your reality. The problem with beliefs is that they become self-limiting;oftentimes they prevent you from exploring your true potential, including your ability to become a Superstar Real Estate Agent. So what does this mean for you? To reach your potential you need to change your limiting beliefs..when you do this, you will change your life.
Here are some limiting beliefs you may have:
- People don’t do business with me because I’m too young or too old
- I was never a good student, so I won’t ever make a lot of money
- I’m a woman in a man’s world
- If I don’t get a lead from my first day of door knocking or my prospecting over the phone, it’s not effective
Eliminate your limiting beliefs
Let’s take the limiting beliefs above and transform them into empowering beliefs:
- People do business with me because I’m young, energetic, and aggressive.
- People do business with me because I’m older than most, more sophisticated, knowledgeable and have a lot of life experience.
- Some of the most successful Real Estate agents are women, therefore I can make it too
- Almost all the top agents got where they are today through their consistent door knocking and phone prospecting, I need to take those actions and be consistent.
There is nothing that you cannot have, once you have mentally accepted the fact that you can have it. Why don’t you set your goals higher or think bigger? If we get what we think about most of the time, wouldn’t it make sense to replace your limiting beliefs with empowering beliefs?
The best proof that something can be done is that others have already done it. Roger Bannister was the first man to break the 4 minute mile, before that, no one believed it was possible; after he eliminated that limiting belief, several others followed and were able to accomplish the same thing. What are you going to do to be the Roger Bannister of Real Estate, to accomplish something that no one has yet been able to?
Your beliefs are only your opinion… Always question them.
Neil,
Spot on! I had the benefit of learning about the MFO system about a year and half ago. I am blessed to have good friends who turned me onto it. I was able to get rid of a lot of my limiting beliefs once I listened to what the coaches actually said. Now I know I can have anything I want in life if I keep focued and eliminate all of the self limiting beliefs that developed in my head over time.
I want to personally say thank you so much for your contribution to the worldwide agent community on the Internet. Congratulations on becoming the #1 C-21 office in the whole continent in advance!
