In today’s robust age of social media, “following” and “un-following” people in the cyber world is just a matter of a click. In under a minute you get to choose what you allow into your feed, your sphere, and your daily dose of social media. Especially now, during heated election climates – turning people’s opinions off or on has become even more of a chore. It’s interesting though, when you start to think about how we can do that out here in the physical world of colleagues, friends, family, and neighbors. It takes more than click to disconnect ourselves from influences that don’t meet our expectations, wreak havoc on our sensibilities, or stray far from our core beliefs.
A friend of mine who tends to get pulled into a lot of events and activities (which she often grows to resent) often…
READ MOREConsistency is More Vital Now Than Ever Before
By Six Figure Real Estate Coach Roberta Ross
There was a program on the radio the other day that featured a lot of what people would call, “one-shot-wonders”. Those artists that knocked it out of the park with one song, then were rarely, if ever heard from again. It makes you think, “what happened?” These people were clearly talented, had what it took to reach the top, so why just the one hit? It reminded me a little of some real estate agents I’ve met. Eager, talented, and full of action – ONCE. They showed up strong once and got a listing. Awesome-right? Absolutely. But every day is a new day in this business. There’s no resting on your laurels, ask any top producers out there. They’ll tell you that no one, not even the heavy hitters have the luxury of not showing…
READ MOREYour Ability to Overcome
By Six Figure Real Estate Coach Roberta Ross
Ever think about the fact that you made it through 100% of the toughest things you ever had to go through? Maybe not always unscathed, and certainly rarely unchanged, but you made it through. That’s resilience at work and character coming through. When you think about adversity in that way, it offers perspective and makes it a little easier when you hit the next bump in the road. It’s that resilience and perspective that will take you further in your career and life than those who let all the little things stop them in their tracks. They are what tell you that nothing lasts, not the good or bad, so instead of worrying about what MAY happen, or fret about a mistake or wrong turn, you can dig down and know that you have the ability to overcome.

READ MOREChoosing the Right People to Surround Yourself With
By Six Figure Real Estate Coach Roberta Ross
I’m not sure who said it first, but I love the quote, “People can be a fountain or a drain – choose wisely.” It’s one of those phrases that stays with you. It makes you think about the relationships in your life – and also about the person you choose to be each day. Since none of us are really climbing the ladders to our successes solo, who we choose to surround ourselves with can either enhance the journey or hold us back. So it’s important to pick those people wisely.
Jim Rohn famously said, “We are the average of the five people we spend the most time with.” Well that could be an eye opener for a lot of folks. Take a look around you. Are the people that you are consistently connecting with and…
