Work Like a Dog Each Day

I saw a great article the other day about traits that dogs have in their lives that all realtors and everyone else in the world could use. Here are the top five that I liked best and how I see them:

Trust your instincts - go with you gut even if the words being said are something different. Your first instinct on something is usually correct. Pay attention to non-verbal clues such as body language and energy.

Be direct & consistent in your communication - Our words and actions need to be clear and consistent at all times. The last thing a client wants, or more importantly trusts, is an agent who gives mixed signals or different answers to the same questions.

Live with a purpose - Boredom can bring us down. Find your purpose in life and how you want to work your job. Contribute more to your family and your local community.

Learn to listen - many of us, me included, spend too much time talking and not enough listening to the needs and wants of our clients. Program that little voice in your brain to make you think for a second before you speak.

Celebrate each day - Every day is the best day for a dog and it should be for us as well. Live them crap behind and celebrate the great things in your life.

Hope you get a little from the above, I am going to try to think like a dog each day.
