RECIPE FOR POSITIVE SUCCESS

By: John Bourassa
Monday, April 07, 2008 7:19 PM

 

In my long lifetime sales career, I have listened to and read many great positive slogans, invigorating messages and success formulas that are uplifting to average salespeople --. Some were very clever and practical.


Even on Sunday, our coffee clutch meets for coffee at Pannera Bread shop. Last Sunday, I was the first one to arrive and someone had left a mall church pamphlet on our favorite table. I glanced at it through but, before I was ready to toss it, there was a headline called “SPIRITUAL SUCCESS”. Instinctively, I read it.


I was floored by its philosophical message.


Having been in sales for eons, I have listened to dozen of sales promoters, sales manager pitches, a bunch of articles and how-to literatures on how to succeed but this one is quite different. It demonstrates a progression of successful logic. Although this was meant as a prescription for how-to-lead-your-life, I think it can be equally applied to as a disciplined method for business success, hence, practicing real estate. Unfortunately, the author was not quoted.


Here is the philosophy:

 

                                                When you change your thinking

                                                  You change your beliefs.  

 

                                                When you change your beliefs

                                                  You change your expectations.

 

                                                When you change your expectations

                                                  You change your attitude.

 

                                                When you change your attitude

                                                  You change your behavior.

 

                                                When you change your behavior

                                                  You change your performance.

 

                                                When you change your performance

                                                  You change your life.

I think this the key to all successes!

John, This is very good. It seems most presentations I have heard almost reverse this order at best. They usually focus on changing behavior first and then all good things will follow. That puts the cart before the horse according to this.

I like it!

Thanks, Bill.

Especially now, with positive thinking and attitude, we, real estate agents, will surmount this price calamity and stay on top of our game.

John, well put.

We Real Estate agents are like beacons of light for many.  But we need to be recharged from time to time.

With the words of Inspiration above we can all take note.
