The following is a summary of a blog written by Nick Schlekeway

Realtors (particularly at this time of the year) blame the market for not reaching their goals last year and are watching it hoping it will allow them to hit their goals this year.

Very few are fixing the thing that actually determines whether they win or lose.

• The market is not the variable that determines your outcome, your internal discipline is.
• Habits, mindset, environment and leverage decisions decide whether you survive volatility.

Agents - we run fast. We juggle contracts, showings, clients, deadlines. Your time is valuable, so let's get right to it.
