Discipline with your Money is Vital to Success as a Realtor

@johncnataleDiscipline with your Money is Vital to Success as a Realtor Sticking to a realistic budget can make or break your career in real estate. Living below your means as an agent is vital to your success in the long-term without getting burnt out. Let’s look at it this way: If you constantly need every deal to close to pay for your lifestyle, you will constantly be living a life of stress and anxiety over every transaction. This stress to close each deal will be felt by your clients. You’ll start to reek of “commission breath.” Nothing will turn your business negative faster than that. Even if you follow this for a few years, the stress will weigh on you constantly and cause burnout pretty quickly. On the other hand, if you live below your means, every transaction won’t matter to you as much. You’ll be able to give honest advice to your clients from your heart without your pocket in mind. This will make you a better Realtor, and in turn, more clients will refer you from all the honesty you give them. This will increase your business and your income year after year making you move and more successful. If you stay living below your means, you’ll be able to re-invest that additional money into your business or better your family’s generational wealth. I learned all of this myself through over a decade of being in real estate. What seems like an overnight success typically comes from years or decades of sacrifice and living realistically to invest in yourself. If you’re looking to create a life that’s fulfilling, rewarding and successful, contact me today and let’s get started. I’m always looking for talented people to grow our family with.
