11 Reasons You Might Be a Dedicated Realtor

Are You a Dedicated Realtor?

When speaking about passion, wine guy, writer, and entrepreneur, Gary Vaynerchuk says, “although I might have the skills to make a buck, or two or four million, it is still fundamentally better to go after your passions because you have the same skill sets… [but] …when you focus on the passion you’ll be able to do the one thing that will differentiate yourself from your competition, and that is a hustle.” That’s the thing about passion when you do something that you are passionate about (even if it is your regular job), you don’t think of it as a chore. Time goes by quickly, and you may continue until late in the evening because it is something you enjoy—you hustle (to use Vaynerchuk’s words).

There have been several occasions where I have woken at 5:00 a.m. PST (without the aid of an alarm clock) in order to get an early start and possibly fend off a pending foreclosure auction scheduled for later that same morning. Since most of the lenders begin at 8:00 a.m. EST, I know that I will have an extra three hours to work my magic and, hopefully, compel a bank executive to assist my clients in avoiding foreclosure.

While I am not always successful, I can always hold my head high and know that I did absolutely everything possible under the sun in order to assist my clients. Dedication and passion are not about floating your boat, it’s about living your life in a way that makes you feel good about being you.
