I just wanted to let you know that this post may ruffle a few feathers, so don’t read any further if you have a delicate ego or righteous manner!

“We are so accustomed to the comforts of “I cannot”, “I do not want to” and “it is too difficult” that we forget to realize when we stop doing things for ourselves and expect others to dance around us, we are not achieving greatness. We have made ourselves weak.” – Pandora Poikilos.

I sold a home close to a million dollars this week. This is not what this story is about; it is about why some did not see the home or their excuses.

” I’m at my cottage for the weekend, so I can’t show the home to my client.” (cottage is 57 km away!) Comfort Zone?

” I don’t show homes on the weekend” Comfort Zone?

“Prices are going to drop 25% this year”. Comfort Zone?

” My client does not want to put in an offer because they do not want to compete.” Comfort Zone?

” The 401 is down to two lanes for three days; we will wait until they open the 3rd lane.” Comfort Zone?

“My lawnmower is broken!” I just made that up; for any excuse works when compromising or validating our motivation?

A real estate coach told me once, and I still believe his statement: “Do what you don’t want to do when you don’t want to do it to the best of your ability”!
