Your health is your wealth, and what you do when you're not feeling your best reveals your true character and commitment to success. I'm sharing something controversial today, but it's a truth I've proven time and again: the foundation of every successful real estate transaction begins with a simple conversation.
While scrolling through social media, you'll find countless suggestions for growing your business—handwritten notes, coffee meetings, daily social posts—and yes, these all work eventually. But if you want results now, there's no substitute for blocking time on your calendar and making calls. I've personally conducted over 40 listing appointments this month alone, many from people I hadn't spoken with in years. Just yesterday, I reconnected with someone I sold a commercial property to a decade ago. I wasn't selling anything—I simply called to check in.
The real magic happens when you meet people where they are in their journey. Take Jeffrey, who I hadn't spoken with in two years. When I called, he couldn't believe the timing—after a four-year divorce settlement process, he needed my services immediately. This wasn't luck; it was the result of maintaining connections and following up consistently. Business is deeply personal, regardless of what conventional wisdom suggests. Your emotional intelligence—how you handle situations with grace and maintain calm during transactions—determines your success far more than any sales technique.
You already possess everything you need to succeed. The work happens inside you, in your heart, in your commitment to genuine connection. You are the solution, and you're the only one who can take the necessary actions to grow your business. So make today great, be productive, and remember that the most valuable asset in your business isn't a fancy CRM or marketing system—it's you and your willingness to reach out and truly listen to the people you serve.
