“Cherish your visions and your dreams as they are a children of your soul. The blueprints of your ultimate achievements.” – Napoleon Hill
Two senses gave arise to this brief article. One was visual, a other was audio.
On a Labour Day weekend, my mother and we motionless to revisit a family in Lindsay, Ont. It’s routinely a 90-minute expostulate by a 401 and 115/35 highways, though we motionless to go a lifelike route, that took us by rolling plantation lands, villages, towns and pleasing housing developments. As we upheld by a Town of Uxbridge en route to Lindsay, we remarkable a sign: “Durham County Rd. 1 – Bridge out”. Not being totally informed with where a highway work would end, we continued to expostulate on during my suggestion, good navigator that we am (not!). So, theory what? After about 10 to 15 km, we came to dual large petrify barriers, that of march had a sign: “Bridge Out – Local Traffic Only”.
Eventually, we arrived during a destination, despite 45 mins after than normal.
The audio apportionment of this essay came as a outcome of a dash of a CBC broadcaster interviewing Dick Fosbury, former Olympic high jumper, who now lives in Ottawa. Fosbury finished story during a Mexico Olympics by doing what is famously called a “Fosbury Flop”. He set a world’s record, violence a former record of 7.4 feet by doing something totally unorthodox. Instead of a normal “scissors” or “straddle” technique, as he did his run during a high bar, he incited his behind on a bar and literally flew over a bar on his back, inventing what is now called a Fosbury Flop. His record stood for some time.
I discuss these dual events as it relates rather to what we do in a bland real estate activities.
We see certain highway blocks – a Competition Bureau, some-more bureaucracy, some-more and some-more hurdles to a bland activities. Do we have to compensate courtesy to these events/situations? Are they revelation us to take a road and follow another path? Can we reinvent a proceed we have finished things in a past?
We have a small over 3 months left in this year to make some sales that we might have missed somehow this past summer.
Take a demeanour during your past successes – your happy buyers and sellers. Did we conduct to stay in hold with them on a unchanging basis?
Have we tapped into your intensity list of investors to tell them that there are still good buys to be had, both in resale and new home sales? How many of we go to a new condo presentations?
Do any of we follow my Yellow Page Canvassing to find Buyers and Sellers (see my archived articles during www.remonline.com) as good as other tips and ideas from my past years essay this column? Or a other excellent contributors who have finished glorious contributions to assistance pull brazen your business acumen?
If managers and brokers comparison would use some of REM’s articles for their sales assembly ideas, they’d never have to miss for an idea. Ditto for we dear readers!
Detours, changing how we do things and how we proceed several hurdles in your career, all volume to removing to where you’d like to be.
So, either you’re being coached by Ferry, Robbins, Buffini or other good coaches (maybe even one of us attorney managers!), are we following what they’re saying?
This could be a best 3 months of your career. Get going and we will see a formula of your efforts.
But compensate courtesy to a road signs and try to do a Fosbury flop. Have a good tumble campaign.
Many interjection for all a comments about my final dual articles by a way. Your comments are always welcome, pro or con.
