📚 Educate to Elevate

Happy Monday!

Here is an Idea, an Action, and a Question to consider this week.


Idea

Become obsessed with education. 

Some people are hesitant to spend $690 on a seminar or even $12 on an audiobook that will advance their education, but they’re missing the big picture here! Don’t cheap out on yourself: the more you invest in you––in time, effort, and yes, money––the bigger your return will be.

All this education will increase your credibility and give you a chance to establish your new identity: The Investor-Agent. 

With your newly-acquired knowledge, you’ll become a better conversationalist in the real estate space. People will inherently trust you because you speak like they do. When you are among investors, you’ll no longer be set apart as “the real estate agent”––you’ll become one of them, part of the crowd.

Stephen King once said, “If you don't have time to read, you don't have the time (or the tools) to write. Simple as that.”

Here’s what I’ll say: If you don’t have time to learn, you don’t have the time (or the tools) to work with investors. Simple as that. 

Spend less on gadgets and gizmos, and more on your personal education. And then, watch the magic happen.


Action

Let’s play a game! Calculate how much you’ve invested in yourself over the last five years. Include the cost of classes, seminars, workshops, audiobooks, ebooks, paper books, online courses, networking dues, mentoring/coaching, paid newsletters and anything else you consider a personal investment cost. It may surprise you how much (or how little) you’ve been investing in yourself.


Question

Think about a past paid event you went to. (Seminar, class, workshop, coaching session, etc.) How did that specific event affect your life? 

***And if you haven’t paid for an event before, enroll so you can answer the question!


See you next week,
