It can take years to train for the Olympics or a lifetime to build the skills to play in a national team, and anyone looking to strive for better positions in life can’t afford not to train continually. Do you agree?
The time to train, whether you’re new to the real estate industry or someone who’s been involved in selling or running a business for decades, is NOW. Just like in any sport or career path, the people around you are always trying to better their knowledge, understanding and application of the necessary skills to succeed in their chosen field, so as their competitor, you should be too if you want to stay in the running.
As a CEO, I have to continually stay abreast of what's happening in the industry, how things are changing and what actions will ultimately lead me to a better understanding of what it takes to make a successful business. With so much information available through courses, conferences, networking and online, I'm often surprised that not more salespeople, property managers and real estate business owners put a major focus on their own training and development.
When times are tough it’s hard to part with money, I know. But for those of you that are continuing to train train train, well done, I’m confident you will reap the rewards. And for those that are thinking that the cost of training is more than you can afford, it may be worth considering the opportunity cost of not training to be or at least compete with the best real estate agent in your area.
