I have only been working in real estate on a ful-time basis for a little less than a year. However I have more than four decades of experience working in the public and private sectors, managing large and small organizations, and the similarities are striking.
No one questions that today's real estate market is one of the more challenging and difficult of any that have been experienced in recent memory. However since the external circumstances we face are shared by all, there is little point in blaming the environment for our failures to achieve the level of success we would like. Since all of our competitors, those who continue to produce at a high level as well as those whose production has declined sharply, are facing the same economic conditions, the same political environment, and the same intangibles, the difference between winners and losers, cannot be accounted for by the external environment.
The difference between winning and losing in this business; the difference between mediocrity and stardom, lies not in the external environment but in the way we plan for and address the external opportunities and threats in creating ways. Each of us brings certain strengths and weaknesses to the table. If we are wise we lead from strength and work to minimize our vulnerability in our areas of weakness.
