Why we are successful!

Why we are successful.

It is my opinion that the reason we share success is that many of us share the law of attraction. It is extremely important in my opinion to have this quality. What constitutes the law of attraction? First, you must be likable. People want to be around you. They seek you out to “pick” them up mentally. You make them feel better about themselves and therefore want to spend more time with and around you. Mother Theresa once said, “Never let anyone leave you without making them feel better and happier because they were with you”. To keep in line with this you must be kind, and caring as well. Don’t just get to know people and what interests them but why. Dig a little deeper and it will pay dividends if you are sincere. By being sincere and listening, you will bond with others and take those relationships to deeper levels.

You must also have a positive attitude and outlook on life so that it carries into your business. There is so much to be said about this topic and how it relates to success but we will only briefly touch upon this subject. People want to hang around people who are optimistic. You wake up everyday and have a choice of whether to be happy, positive and eager to take on the day or negative, pissed off waiting for the day to end because of what is “probably” going to happen to you - what do you choose? A positive attitude and outlook are also better for you in many ways and they also help create opportunities in all areas of your life. You catch more flies with honey than you do vinegar. It is important what you say and how you say it, think about it.

Another characteristic in the law of attraction is to have a servant mentality. You must put others first. Walk a mile in their shoes to see what is important to them and try to solve their problems with empathy and compassion. By helping others achieve their goals and solve their problems, you will in turn achieve your goals. Being solution oriented for those you encounter will get you where you want to go faster and further than you would expect. By giving it your all in every situation, you can expect success to follow.

Being appreciative and thankful are also qualities of a person with law of attraction. People like to know that they are appreciated for what they do for you. If you always take and don’t say thank you or don’t give back, you won’t receive as much or as often as you could. Be the one to show your appreciation through words, notes and actions and others will want to be with and around you and will be willing help you more. It is easy to do – just try! Treat people in every situation with dignity and respect and you will get it in return!

Another key area of our topic is to be outgoing and approachable. People in this category make eye contact and smile a lot when encountering others. When looking away, down or wearing an I-pod, people won’t seek you out. When talking down to others, appearing too busy, rushing through conversations result in lost opportunities. Take an active interest in others and they will want to take an interest in you. When asking questions, be focused on them and their answers. Greet people with a genuine, sincere smile and open arms when you see them and you will get it back in spades! While we are on this subject, give praise publicly and often to show your appreciation for others have done for you – it will make their day! Being humble is also a strong attribute to mention. This quality characteristic can help take you places you want to go. Use the phrase, we and us not me and I when conveying your messages. Give credit where credit is due – shine the spotlight don’t bask in it!

In addition to these extremely important attributes, projecting a professional image help you get to the level of success you desire. Your appearance, the office appearance, the technology you use, obtaining the training you need so you can educate clients contributes the law of attraction as well. People want to be with successful people. You must build upon this foundation with being competent. Basically, you gotta know your stuff. Know the contracts (listing agreements, regional sales contract, addendums, leases, etc), know market trends and numbers. Read and research publications, trade magazines, reports, blogs, etc. to help you learn what you have to know! It has been said over and over and over but it is true. You don’t know your stuff and it shows – know your stuff and people will follow, refer and recommend!

Remember, to have the law of attraction work for you, good enough, is never enough. Get it? Got it? Good!

Now, go sell something!
