Is it true that 90% of people fail in Real Estate within the first 2 years?
Throughout the years I have seen so many people come and go in the industry regardless of their purpose. I’ve been in the industry for a little over 4 years now, and even though I still consider myself new I wanted to start this discussion to share my opinion of why this happens and would love for people to share their perspective on it too.
For those who know me personally know that I’m big into fitness. I grew up playing competitive sports and it took me until I started working out to realize that to see results you have to consistently show up for long periods of time. And it took me another couple of years to realize that that same concept didn’t only apply to fitness but to all aspects of life.
Discipline will get you where you want to be in life, just by consistently showing up you will get better each day. The saying “If it was that easy, everyone would do it” goes a long way. I see many people starting out in the industry with very unrealistic expectations that drive them to take action, which is completely normal and that’s how most humans function. Discipline comes into play when those unrealistic expectations become a reality and the vision becomes blurry.
I want to finish my post with this quote from Jeff Cunningham “It’s better to be consistently good than occasionally great”
Would love to hear everyone’s opinion on this topic!
