Back by demand "Have Fun"

"If it's not fun, I'm not going to do it"

~Terry Miller

I am assuming that if your reading this you are in the real estate business and it's because that's what you chose to do. If I could give you one piece of advice it would be to figure out what your passion in life is and figure out how to succeed financially at it. I absolutely love having a real estate business and think motivating and training new Realtors is some of the most fun anyone can have. I feel rewarded everyday that I can help someone improve their business. A Golf pro once told me to put my golf clubs in the closet at home for one month. I ask "why would I do that"? He simply said "if you don't miss them, then quit the game". You see I wasn't having any fun playing the game and it showed. The entire next lesson was spent talking about why I started playing to begin with. Then he said why I took it so serious when I would never be able to turn pro. Man did that hurt. Then, I started to smile and explained that I had taken up the game to relax and as my handicap dropped I got focused on being the best I could be. At the time I was carrying a four to an eight handicap depending on how much money that was on the line. (Golfers understand that statement). I always played for something be it money, dinner or whatever could be wagered that made sense. Even with my children we played for a soda or something. He simply asks me "WHY"? Then it dawned on me, that I was actually creating stress and tension in a game I really love. My next two lessons were playing lessons on the course just for fun and from that moment on I play for fun or the smallest of wagers. I still break par every now and then but to be honest I could care less. For me it's about having a good time with good people.

Simply put if you don't have a passion for what you're doing, stop doing it and find your passion.
