Monday Morning Wake Up Call

Monday Morning Wake Up Call: Your Motivation, Inspiration, & Direction for the Week Ahead

Plan to Win Wow, what a great spring market it has been for the real estate industry. Economists are predicting that the market will continue to stay strong throughout 2017, as well as 2018. That’s great news for sales agents as well as consumers. History shows that the best agents will do even better in good times, because they plan for their success. The great Zig Ziglar said, “You were born to win. But to be a winner, you must plan to win, prepare to win and expect to win.” Now is the time to analyze your business. What can you do to take your business to the next level? How can you better serve your clients? What is your plan for the second half of 2017? Something to Think About It’s easy to kick back and take the summer off, or at least slow down. That’s what most agents do, but what happens at the end of summer? The fall market will be here before you know it. This year, do something different. Set aside time each week to touch base with ten clients and stay connected. Weekly Activity Which 10 clients will you reach out and connect with this week? How will you connect with each of them? Words of Wisdom Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do. – John Wooden Make a customer, not a sale. – Katherine Barchetti Tough times never last, but tough people do. – Robert Schuller Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all. – Dale Carnegie Integrity is what we do, what we say and what we say we do. – Don Galer

Great Job Kitty Moran!

Jamie G. from Court-Woodlawn Recommended your business We worked with Kitty Moran to buy our house on the north side and she was very knowledgeable, quick, and available. She helped us find a house in two weeks, and was very flexible with our schedules. She digs beyond the Zillow postings and she recommends houses that are attainable for what you want to pay. She will also point out things she doesn't think will go over well on an inspection or things you might not want to live with in the future, so that you can truly make an educated decision.

Making Memories For all the dads out there, I hope you had a wonderful Father’s Day. For those who celebrated Father’s Day with a memory of their dad, I hope they were fun and wonderful memories. Memories are amazing! They evoke an emotion, which can stimulate feelings. Sometimes memories are created through conversations. Siblings getting together to talk about their childhood memories, or a stroll down memory lane with a photo album or journal. I recently watched a group of siblings recall their childhood experiences and memories. They laughed and talked for hours, but it was interesting to see how different their memories were. One sibling recalled the situation with humor, but the other had a completely different memory that was not as funny, while yet another sibling had no recollection of that event. Experts tell us that each of us has stored different emotions or details of events in the past that define how we describe it in the future, or even if we choose to remember it. The next time this happens to you, as you are enjoying a trip down memory lane with family members and friends, take that opportunity to learn details of that event which you do not remember. Something to Think About We all choose to remember what we think is important, or those things which have a definite emotional impact at the time. You can’t remember everything, so this makes sense. However as you get older, hearing the stories of your childhood from your family or your siblings can be quite fun. It will give you additional stories that you can pass onto your children and grandchildren to be treasured for generations to come. Weekly Activity Call or visit a sibling or family member and ask them what their favorite or funniest memory is of a time when you were much younger. Also, share your fondest or funniest memories. They will appreciate the call or visit, guaranteed! Words of Wisdom Timid salesmen have skinny kids. – Zig Ziglar If we all did the things we are capable of doing, we would literally astound ourselves. – Thomas Edison Obstacles can’t stop you. Problems can’t stop you. Most of all, other people can’t stop you. Only you can stop you. – Jeffrey Gitomer Goals allow you to control the direction of change in your favor. – Brian Tracy Try not to become a person of success, but try to become a person of value. – Albert Einstein

The Good Thing About Challenges Good morning. This week I wanted to share a story about the benefits of challenges. Yes, you read it correctly. Life gives all of us challenges, and at the time, it’s hard to understand why at the time. But as you may know, the answer usually comes later. One day, a young boy was talking through the woods, when he spotted a cocoon. There was a small gap in cocoon, and he could see that the butterfly was trying hard to get out. It took a lot of time, the butterfly was trying very hard, and the gap was as little as before. It seemed that the butterfly needed help. So, the young boy got a small knife and cut the cocoon. The butterfly immediately got out, but its body was weak and feeble, and the wings were barely moving. The boy continued to watch the butterfly, thinking that now its wings would spread and its would fly. However, that did not happen. The rest of its life the butterfly had to drag its weak body and wings that weren’t spread. It was unable to fly, because the boy did not realize that an effort to enter through the narrow gap of the cocoon was necessary for the butterfly, so that the life-giving fluid would move from the body to the butterfly’s wings and that the butterfly could fly. Life forced the butterfly to go through that trial and leave its shell, so it would become stronger and would be able to grow and develop. If we were allowed to live without meeting difficulties, we might also go through life weak and unprepared. Life gives us challenges to make us stronger. Something to Think About When we are in the midst of the struggle, it’s hard to think of the lesson that we are being taught. Look for the good. Always look for the good. Weekly Activity Do something fun this week! You have been working hard all year long! Words of Wisdom If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant: if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome. Josh Billings On any given Monday I am one sale closer and one idea away from being a millionaire. Larry D. Turner One of the best predictors of ultimate success in either sales or non-sales selling isn’t natural talent or even industry expertise, but how you explain your failures and rejections. Daniel H. Pink If you learn from defeat, you haven’t really lost. Zig Ziglar The difference between try and triumph is just a little umph! Marvin Phillips

Monday Morning Wake Up Call!

Deciding Factors Last week we discovered that emotions are the primary factor in the decisions that you are forces to make each day. It has sparked a lot of interest so I thought we would continue this discussion. Emotions are not particularly sophisticated or precise, but their speed makes up for what they lack in sophistication and precision. Emotions provide information about your circumstances in a simple, quick way that does not involve a lot of thinking. They do it via instant feelings or gut instincts. They attempt to tell you if a situation is optimal or not aligned with your goal. What you are feeling can provide insight into how you might approach a specific situation. For example, imagine that you are negotiating a contract and begin to get anxious. If something doesn't feel right, it is your emotional system informing you to further evaluate the situation. You can be disrupted by your anxiety or you can choose to take a look at it: Does the other person remind your emotional brain of someone in the past who took advantage of you? Is this person doing the same thing or is it just a particular mannerism they have that has triggered your anxious response? Is your anxious response a reaction to the other person or to yourself, such as a hidden fear? Similarly, you may have a reaction to a "pushy" salesperson because your emotions are informing you to protect yourself. Something to Think About Emotions have tremendous action potential. Yet the drive that emotions provide, particularly in the workplace, is sometimes experienced as stress, rather than potential for decisive action. Consider, for example, how people respond differently in their approach to completing a project. For some people, a project will trigger anxiety until it is completed. But for others, that same project will not trigger anxiety until the deadline for completion is near. In that scenario, the deadline creates anxiety that serves to motivate action. For this latter group, a deadline is necessary to trigger the anxiety that fuels action. Recognizing how emotions affect your own motivational style can help you more consciously make decisions and pursue your goals. Weekly Activity This week, if you are feeling anxious about a project, take the time to stop and analyze why you are feeling anxious and see if you can determine the trigger. Words of Wisdom Successful people maintain a positive focus in life no matter what is going on around them. They stay focused on their past successes rather than their past failures, and on the next action steps they need to take to get them closer to the fulfillment of their goals rather than all the other distractions that life presents to them. - Jack Canfield The most unprofitable item ever manufactured is an excuse. – John Mason Most people think “selling” is the same as “talking”. But the most effective salespeople know that listening is the most important part of their job. – Roy Bartell You don’t close a sale; you open a relationship if you want to build a long-term, successful enterprise. – Patricia Fripp If you are not taking care of your customer, your competitor will. – Bob Hooey
