Life, vibe, energy, momentum, surprise and delight or decay, atrophy and irrelevance?
As a career minded real estate agent, you know you gotta unfurl your wings and fly. It’s easy to be sucked into a vortex of inaction, take a nap, check out and fret out. My friends, don’t let the gravitational pull and the gusting winds of common and ordinary turn you into the Tin Man. You gotta create motion to make things happen. You have to flap your wings and fly.
When you’re in motion, universal laws hug you and richeous possibilities lean-in to kiss you .
Laws like:
1. 100th Monkey Effect – I know it’s weird. I’m not saying you’re a monkey. Apparently it doesn’t matter of you are a woman or a man or monkey, there’s something to universal intelligence – which is great because I need all the intelligence I can attract, but I digress. You’ve seen examples of this, haven’t you? For example, why does a listing languish on the market for 179 days and on the 180th day, three offers appear from nowhere? Huh – right?
To point the 100th Monkey Effect, I’d get busy with building your social networks online – you know – Twitter.com, Facebook.com, Trulia.com, Zillow.com, Youtube.com, etc. Get yourself way out there.
2. The Butterfly Effect – Can a tiny wing beat change the world? Some say “Yes.” The take away, do something as small as “Wear your name badge everyday, everywhere!” Let something unexpected happen. People ask questions you know. Wear a goofy name badge, someone identifies you as Realtor, you look smart and you’re wearing a smile too. They ask you a question and the next thing you know, you have a new fan, client, friend, buyer or seller.” Hmmmm…is it really that easy. Sometimes!
3. The Cascade Effect – Robert Scoble said, “Why do companies tell me they want to create an avalanche but they don’t want to invest in snowflakes?” Substitute the word “companies” for “real estate agents”. Tiny delicate snowflake actions, actions like mailing handwritten notecards after you talk to someone, these tiny actions pile up and cascade into a Butterfly Effect. It’s simple, fast and cheap. What else are you doing to create a cascade effect?
4. Serendipity – Sounds like skipping instead of walking doesn’t it. Sorta. Albert Hoffman discovered LSD and Louie Pasteur discovered Pasteurization, serendipity played a role. Chance and opportunity favor the prepared mind. What fresh discoveries will your prepared mind uncover? Skip around, engage in conversation with intent, be an active listener, who needs help, solutions, encouragement, information? Get out and about, talk to people in person and on the phone, open your ears and mind and imagination…unleash serendipity. It’s fun and surprising. Try it.
5. The Tipping Point – I know, it’s not easy. Action every day. You want to rest or quit or do something else entirely. Don’t! Commit to consistent tiny tangible actions. Make the call, have the conversation, listen actively, send note cards, wear your name badge, engage. Learn new things – for example, read what other whip smart real estate agents have to say @ Agent Genius Blog or Blood Hound Blog. Every day after day after week after month – you get the picture right? That’s the difference between the have’s and the haven’ts, the pretenders and the contenders, the rich and the poor.
I know, it’s all so wispy and pixie dustish….do it anyway. We can’t control the outcome, only our actions. Conjure, create and unleash some positive universal laws….start flying today.
