A lot has changed since the start of the year and the turn of unsuspecting events that led to the global health crisis has disrupted everything from lifestyles to businesses.
There’s no doubt that even the best-laid plans for the year need to be revisited and realigned. Some have taken it as a challenge, but for some, they considered it the ax that fell on their business.
Don’t give up
For the real estate industry, adapting to the new normal has been without challenges however, it became one of the early adopters among the various industries in Australia despite the COVID-19 crisis.
One piece of advise for real estate agents- never give up.
Getting up after stumbling down from the hurdles of the health pandemic takes a lot of discipline, resilience, and courage.
However, with the industry’s adaptability to technology and the virtual market environment, experts foresee that the real estate market is expected to start picking up soon to allow you to get your real estate business back on its feet.
Veteran real estate agents have been using a three-point formula to help real estate agents get back on their feet, reboot, and refocus on their real estate business.
Formula 1: Don’t be afraid to take a step forward
Success begins with a single step, and this is what is needed by real estate agents who need to take a step of faith towards the growth and progress of their real estate business.
Many people make the mistake of giving up and stop themselves from taking another step in the light of the challenges and difficulties they are facing. But just like physics, anything at rest will remain motionless unless an external force is exerted to make it move.
The same rule applies in business- you stop, you achieve nothing, but when you move, you will end up reaching the finish line soon enough.
If you think you have put your real estate business on hold for the past months due to the pandemic situation, it’s about time to wake up and start moving again.
Formula 2: Develop the momentum
People often rush into things only to end up giving up in the middle of giving up in the face of trials and challenges.
While some may have been disappointed with the turn of events or have been adversely affected by the economic downturn, most of them need some prodding to get them moving again.
This is why it’s important to take steps to get your own real estate business moving because others will need a role model and a stimulus to begin responding and start moving again.
Focus on your next steps and start encouraging others to follow suit. Not only will you be able to help them get back on their feet, but your momentum will also start to fuel movement in the real estate market.
Do not forget to also focus on your goals and follow your business road map.
Formula 3: Start strong, finish strong
You may be excited to start moving again and be excited about it, but in the face of numerous adversities and challenges along the way, it makes your journey less exciting and at times, even become discouraging.
When you start to lose interest and get sidetracked, remember that you need to firmly hold on and pursue your path to attain your goals.
It is important to maintain the same level of dedication and passion for your business from start to finish.
Remember to not lose hope and faith, because the real estate industry has survived and thrived in the past and so it will with the current and future disruptions. Best of all, the same promise applies to you.
