Success relies on two main things - a great business strategy and a strong drive to succeed. If you're missing one or the other, you will struggle. That said, sometimes a rough day, week or even month can drag you down and do a real number on your positive mindset (and your bottom line).
If you're feeling discouraged or burnt out - it's time to do a priority check and think about all the things you have to be grateful for. A focused verbal affirmation spoken aloud (also known as a mantra) can help you re-evaluate your situation and can also have a dramatic positive impact on your real estate motivation. Use these success mantras to give yourself a swift kick in the you-know-what to get you back on track.
11 Real Estate Success Mantras:
-
"It's the start that stops most people - but not me!"

"Remember - yesterday you said tomorrow, and tomorrow is now today."
Procrastination can be a major success killer. If you're guilty of frequently pushing things off until tomorrow, use this mantra to remind yourself that you said that yesterday - and today is your day to get stuff done! -
"Strive for progress, not perfection."
If you tend to push yourself too hard, over-commit or consider yourself a perfectionist, you may need to remind yourself that in certain cases, good is good enough.

"Success does not come to you, you go to it."

"It's a good day to have a good day."

If you're facing a challenging time and are feeling frustrated or defeated, break the cycle by starting your morning out with this mantra.
-
"Stop underestimating yourself."
Most of us are really good at being hard on ourselves when things aren't going as well as we'd like, but are not as quick to pat ourselves on the back when we reach milestones or achieve accomplishments.

This mantra is a great if you're working towards a long-term, big-picture goal that requires a lot of discipline to reach. Whether you're focused on generating a certain number of sales this year or you're trying to get in better shape, use this mantra to make your decisions easier along the way. -
"Every accomplishment always starts with the decision to try."
Ever been in a position where you wanted to try something new, decided not to and felt dissapointed in yourself later? Next time you're facing that situation, use this mantra to break through hesitation and go after what you really want.
