Control Your Attitude
By, Corey Wells

There is one key thing that leads to a successful life. This thing controls the outcome of your marriage, business, and many other parts of your life. People who have unbelievable talent and skill will fail if they cannot master this thing. While people with only marginal talent and skill will succeed if they can master it. This thing will determine your future. This thing is a positive attitude!

The reality of Real Estate is that it’s a business with many ups and downs. Everyday we are faced with fantastic triumphs and lots of adversity. As these peaks and valleys occur the only thing you can control is your attitude. Let’s face it, when you prospect you’re being bombarded with a lot of negativity from the calls you make. Try to focus on your goals and not be a product of your immediate circumstances. Don’t be a pawn of your market, and don’t fall into the trap of hanging out with the negative people in your office. It’s important not to let your day control you!

How is your attitude? If you have a positive and optimistic attitude, you can achieve great things. If you take the attitude that every obstacle or challenge leads to a new opportunity, success will be yours. Did you know that attitude invented the light bulb? Thomas Edison was said to have created the light bulb so he could work on his other inventions long into the night. Edison could have cursed the darkness, but instead, his attitude led him to illuminate the world.

Today is the time to start building your positive attitude. Tell yourself that you are the best agent anyone could find. You have to believe in yourself before anyone else will believe in you. The attitude you exhibit when faced with adversity will help you get past any difficulties and move your closer to your goals. The attitude that you bring to a problem will make the difference between a deal falling through or a successful closing.

A technique you can use to improve your attitude is the practice of positive daily affirmations. Affirmations create positive mental images in your subconscious mind. These in turn feed your conscious mind with the positive. Affirmations can help balance the ups and downs of your day. Remember, when you believe, you can achieve. Some great affirmations for a real estate agent are:

• I am a great agent.
• I am skilled at handling problems and getting the client signed.
• People do business with me because I am professional, knowledgeable, and positive.
• I am a great father/mother.
• I am a great spouse.

You can use these affirmatives or design your own. The best affirmations are ones that are personal to you. You need to believe you are going to win every time. The great coach Vince Lombardi had a famous saying:

“Winning is not a sometime thing; it’s an all the time thing. We don’t want to win once in awhile; we don’t do things right once in awhile; we do them right all the time. Winning is a habit; unfortunately, so is losing.”
