- You’re not taking action because you’re certain the market will crash soon, creating the
opportunity you think isn’t here currently. - You’re waiting for the Inventory Fairy to sprinkle the right new listings into your MLS so
you can finally get some of your buyers into contract. - You’re waiting for your next deal to appear from your Center of Influence.
You’ve always lucked out in the past, surely something will happen soon! What happened to all of the FOMO that was out there? - You’re waiting for your videos to get someone to list with you.
Just keep on cranking out those TikToks. You must not have enough of them yet. - You’re waiting for a call back from: your leads/the other agent/the home inspector/the
title company/the mortgage guy.
Waiting, waiting, waiting… - You’re waiting for your scripts to be perfect.
Just 10 more role plays and you’ll be ready to pick up that phone. - You’re waiting until you get back from vacation… which doesn’t start for 2 weeks.
You wouldn’t want to have a deal happen while you’re away now, would you? - You’re waiting to find your Big Why.
You haven’t found your passion in the business, so
you’re not feeling motivated. - You’re waiting until rates come down.
- You’re waiting for your listing to sell.
It’s important to ask yourself, “What do you lose by procrastinating?” Are you motivated by
the carrot or the stick?
Everyone claims they are motivated by their goals to do more so they can have more. However, most don’t get into action until they’re about to LOSE something.
