What does it truly mean to "be the solution" in your professional and personal life? Drawing from 31 years of experience in real estate sales, I share powerful insights about accountability and the unwavering commitment required for success.
The journey starts with a simple personal challenge - 28 days without wine. But this experiment represents something far more profound than temporarily changing a habit. It's about proving we have the power to honor our commitments and lead by example. If we can't follow through on small personal pledges, how can we expect to achieve ambitious professional goals?
Success isn't accidental or magical - it's methodical. After conducting thousands of listing appointments and transactions throughout my career, I've discovered that making success look easy only happens after years of consistent hard work. The market doesn't care about our excuses. This past month, I closed 16 transactions not because I found some secret formula, but because I upheld my non-negotiable standards even when it meant missing social events three nights in a row to complete essential work.
The most valuable lesson? You alone control your outcomes. No one can make calls for you, memorize dialogues for you, or develop your listening skills - arguably the most crucial ability in sales. We must take complete ownership of our results without blaming external circumstances. As I've said for 18 years: work works. There's no substitute for putting in the effort day after day.
Are you ready to be the solution in your own life? What standards will you set and maintain, regardless of the temporary discomfort? Your choices today create your reality tomorrow.
