Sometimes in the business of real estate you are force to wear a variety of hats.
You can unexpectedly find yourself wearing the hat of a marketing director, acquisition agent, sales agent and even a property manager in the real estate investing business.
This is too much for one man or woman to tackle and it will prove to be tiresome and counterproductive.
Trying to accomplish this is a recipe for disaster and you'll be playing yourself short.
This is an amazing and challenging endeavor for any entrepreneur.
As much as we would like to think that we're capable of completing such a feat on account that mentality that says, "If you want something done right, do it yourself" it will drive you plum nuts if you allow it.
This may be appropriate in the beginning stages as an entrepreneur but over a period of time it becomes very taxing.
So it will become inevitable for us to determine which of the abovementioned positions are we best at and focus primarily on that one and used the others as a form of leverage.
The first order of business would be to take self-examination of ourselves to determine exactly what we like the most in our line of work.
Once this is achieved then you should be able to eliminate the things in which you don't like to do in the business, don't be cynical or naïve, we may love our jobs but there are always things in which we don't like about them.
They are quite easy culprits to find on account of them being the things we put off the most.
You know them more than anyone else because you are the business.
It's a good idea to write down the things you do every single day based upon a certain amount of minute in a day.
This is a great idea because it allows you to take an analysis of exactly where you spend the bulk of your time.
This is also a way in which you can determine where you're wasting time and if you're serious about what you're endeavoring to do.
Once you've compiled a list of the things in which you on an average business day, it will now be time to make a list of some of the most important things about the business that make you click and puts money in your pocket.
This will prove to be a very important list to comprise because it will determine a lot of things especially those that make money and that's the primary reason why we're in the business in the first place, Right? If the answer to this question is no, then we have a problem with priorities.
Some people may come into the business for various reasons; however, money should be number one because it's definitely what's going to keep a roof over your head and your families as well; plus it's going to keep food on the table for you and your family, keep a means of transportation and clothes on your back.
And let us not forget about the dreaded bills, money is the only way these things are going to be properly taken care of.
So it's imperative that we get our priorities in order and make certain this is the business we love and intend to make our primary source of income and eventually our livelihood.
Keep in mind, the initial stage of any business begins slowly, from marketing, advertising and promoting services and products.
The important thing is to remain committed and consistent in what you do and before you know it, the calls will be running in like water going downstream.
So stay ready!
