Success is Within Our Reach

Motivational Power Quote

Success is Within Our Reach

“The people who succeed in real estate

are the people who do

what everybody else hates to do.”

Ira Gribin, Realtor

As I see it. . . . . . . .

Success is within our reach

Success becomes within our reach the moment that we are willing to do a little more and to do what others are unwilling or won’t do.

Achieving lasting success comes in doing the small details with excellence and in the efforts that we are committed to doing on a consistent basis.

We will standout as a result of the quality of our efforts and in our willingness to maintain that effort until we complete our objectives successfully.

Set the expectations with the people that you come in contact with and then make every effort to exceed them. When you consistently exceed the expectations you open the doors to unlimited success through your efforts.

Success is within our reach the moment that we step outside of our comfort zone and do a little bit more to achieve success.

“Everything is something I decide to do,

and there nothing I have to do.”

Denis E. Waitley, author  

As I see it. . . . . . . .

I can make the decision to pursue success and control my life and activities with a purpose. Or I can just let my life take me along for a ride to no specific destination and to let my life control me.

I can choose to see a mountain to climb, I can see the peak and I can see myself standing at the top of the mountain in triumph.

What I do with my life is my decision to make and I will go as far as I choose to go.

Control Your Emotions When You’re Negotiating

Motivational Power Quote

Control Your Emotions When You’re Negotiating

“You cannot always control what goes on outside.

But you can always control what goes on inside.”

Dr. Wayne Dyer, author

As I see it. . . . . . . .

Control your emotions when you’re negotiating

Staying in control of your emotions when you’re negotiating is critical element of successful negotiations.

If you lose control of your emotions you lose control of the negotiating process.

Experienced negotiators will use the tactic of attempting to have you lose control of your emotions when they’re negotiating with you. If they become successful and you lose control of your emotions they take the power position and have a distinct advantage in the negotiating process.  

They will challenge your personally, your ability and your position in the negotiations to disrupt you. Remain focused on the big picture not the opinion of the other person.

Focus on the issues in the negotiation not the people.

The person that can stay in control of their emotions are in the power position in the negotiations. 

Control your emotions when your negotiating and you will increase the potential have having a successful outcome in the negotiations.

Our days are acted out in our mind long before the day ever gets begins. What we expect our day to be becomes; becomes a full filling prophecy. What we think programs our mind and is acted out in our day.

A combination of our thinking and our attitude determines the type of day that you will experience.  If we want to experience an outstanding day, we have to change our thinking and adjust our attitude.

Make It a Habit to Finish What You Start

Motivational Power Quote

Make It a Habit to Finish What You Start 

“Laziness is nothing more than

the habit of resting before you get tired.”

Mortimer Caplin, educator and lawyer  

As I see it. . . . . . . .

Make it a habit to finish what you start

Nothing gets done until you make the commitment to finish the things you start. Things left undone have very little positive value and actually will become a drain your resources and your energy.

Things left undone can tarnish your reputation and have negative effect on your business and business relationships.

Many times the difference between success and failure is a thin slice. That thin slice of getting the job done in an effective productive manor.

Finishing a job you start is a habit, a habit of success. Make the choice to follow the pathway to success and to make it a habit to finish what you start.
