In every new batch of newcomers, a handful of agents consistently rise above the competition. You might be wondering, why is he or she doing better than the rest? Is there a secret formula?
It’s not luck — it’s habit, discipline, and strategic growth.
The top 3 tips are derived from daily actions especially for new agents that wish to breakthrough.
Improve in your 1% everyday. This is directing on the things that you do on a daily basis in your task. For example, be an expert GTA, spend 10 minutes a day understanding the area you cover, review trends, transactions, new listings and many more. Actions like these will compound into massive long term mastery.
Focus on the system, not goals. Goals settings are good nevertheless, setting one in the correct direction to move, but it is the system that makes you move ahead in progression. One example for this is the system to build a stronger network and clients. Since real estate is a relationship driven business. Create more meaningful connections with clients and agents for trust building , referrals and also collaboration. Try a message or a call to update on trends, sending a greeting card and others. These small actions will lead to your goals eventually.
Identity based habits. Setting achievement goals is easy, e.g I want to hit a million dollar sales. But it is the identity habits that you build that will lead you to achieving your target. Tell yourself, and create habits that identify you. I want to create visibility, I will get used to digital marketing, one listing a day post, one video post a day and attend one training a month to upskill as there are aplenty to choose from at PropNex from Project training, Bootcamp training, DISC training and many more.
If any of you have read ‘Atomic Habits’ then the above will read familiar to you. These ideas echo the core teachings of James Clear’s, Atomic Habits: real success is built through a growth mindset and small, consistent actions. Commit to small transformations, be aware of your habits and you will see the change.
If you want to rise above the competition, don’t wait but keep moving — one mindset shift, one training, one action at a time. Good Luck in all your endeavours !
