Paul are you saying your real estate friend finds one person who wants to sell within the 40 and he gets to be the one that lists?

Interesting. I wouldn't have thought that when one person is selling someone near by is also ready to sell. No reason what that shouldn't be. Just never really thought about it.

We could probably say the same thing about most industries. Many people want the spoils of success as long as it doesn't involve the work.

Yes, Steve, that's what the industry says in their new-agent training. My client says he's found that to hold true in his experience.

Precisely! True success in business comes to those who are willing to do those things competitors are either unwilling or unable to do.

Thanks Paul. That is interesting. Like I said above it's not something I had ever thought about, but the more do think about it, the more it makes sense. Even if we think just about the math and how x% of people in any group will do y.

Hopefully more people will take this to heart. I think it's also one reason why it makes sense to choose a business that aligns in some way with your interests. It takes work to be a success and there will be failures along the way. If you're going to push through those failures and stick with things for the longer term success it helps a lot to enjoy what you're doing.

Helps a lot? I would say it was imperative.

Procrastination only happens when not doing something is more enjoyable than doing it.

Yes, Steve and Frederick!

The consistency and persistence needed for success does require that there is sufficient enjoyment in the process that we're able to continue it.

For me the enjoyment of what I do and the lifestyle I'm able to maintain working for myself is worth more than any money I make.
