Embrace your Weakness
We all have strengths and weakness’. I am very strong in some areas and pathetically weak in others. If fact as I get older and more focused on my strengths I feel my weakness are getting worse. The good news is that to grow and thrive I don’t have to be strong at everything. As long as I am part of a team where we have complementary skills and talents I can overcome my weakness and hopefully continue to develop my strengths. This works very well in our software development company.
How about real estate? Building a successful and sustainable real estate practice requires a broad skill set. Prospecting, marketing, converting leads, managing a budget, managing a data base, juggling new technology, IT, negotiating transactions, managing paperwork flow, continuing education, and about 500 other things. In just about any other business there are specialists in real estate we are one our own. At least to start with.
I believe it is very important for us as agents to really look at ourselves to assess our strengths and weakness’ as we plan the business we want to build. If we know the places we are deficient we can work to create the support system needed to thrive.
Most agents I know have a strong desire to succeed and are smart enough and personable enough to have a shot at it. The determining factors are whether they have a plan, take action and have the proper support system to fill some critical areas of weakness. Understanding our weak spots can have just as much to do with success as understanding our strengths. They are just not as fun to look at:)
