You see
an agent open and he/she flies off the mark. Cracking start. Loads of new lettings
business from day one. He/she was lucky
you say... I say this, ... They weren’t lucky, they were just good at the beginning.
Funny word ... lucky. You see, you might
look at your competitors and say they are lucky in getting more landlords. Hey,
you might be the lucky agent yourself, but luck is not a strategy.
Becoming
good, even great in the long run, that's the result of effort and tenacity and
smart practice. The people who are good in the long run fail a lot, especially
at the beginning. So, when you fail early, it might be worth realising that
this is part of the deal, the price you pay for being good in the long run.
You see
when every landlord doesn’t give you their business, don’t cry ... rejection is
a gift. Instead of failure, see it as a chance to learn and to do it better
next time. An opportunity to figure out how to bounce back, not break. So when
you have a down day, when you get knocked back .. don't waste it. You see sometimes,
getting lucky at the beginning means that you fail to learn resilience and
tenacity, and you lack the tools to get better. The long run is a lot longer
than the start is.

friends
