Ever wonder why you haven’t been getting the results you wanted from your real estate business? Are you blaming the economy and the credit crisis? Or how about the fact that so many homes are under water right now? Or what about all those new loans are too hard to get for buyers? And then, of course, are the unemployed. Let’s face it – times are really tough right now. So what is a real estate agent supposed to do in these turbulent times?

If your answer to any of these questions is a resounding, “yes”, then here’s a question for you …Why is Christopher Stafford, an award winning broker in the San Francisco Bay Area, having an outstanding year? Why does he and his partner, Terry Wright, have over 40 listings right now? And how are they closing deals like crazy? When I asked him about the current United States real estate market, here’s what he said:

“What real estate market?”

“Well, Chris, you have to admit that these are terrible times for real estate agents,” I countered. “After all, look at the economy. It is a mess!”

“Well, there is no such thing as a US real estate market. All areas are different. Look at San Francisco compared to Stockton. Or how about Miami compared to Indianapolis? Besides, it is always changing. So what’s the problem?

“But, Chris,” I countered, “agents are starving out there. What can they do? After all, it isn’t their fault that times are bad. You can’t blame them. After all, this is the worst of times since the Great Depression!”

“Look, if people don’t want to take responsibility for their actions that is their choice. My business is working just fine and, I hate to sound insensitive, but we can’t worry about what’s ‘out there’. We need to be creative and find ways to make this situation for us. After all, this business is not rocket science. Agents should see what other successful agents are doing and them they should emulate them.”

“Like you, Christopher”, I laughed.

“Of course,” he smiled.

So this is how this we put together this special report. It ties into STEP 4 – GET SUPPORT, from our book, Massive Abundance – How to Create Passion, Purpose & Prosperity in Your Life. When we looked at the 7 Simple Steps to achieving massive abundance, we felt that this Step was crucial in helping others achieve their real estate goals.

So Chris and I came up with 10 key actions that we felt would make a huge difference in assisting you to GET SUPPORT in your business. If you follow these ideas, then there really is no limit to what you can accomplish. Here they are:

1. Work with your manager;

2. Get a business partner;

3. Participate in mastermind groups;

4. Hire a coach;

5. Do daily affirmations;

6. Listen to inspirational messages;

7. Share your goals with people who care;

8. Make use of your “Sphere of Influence”;

9. Build relationships with others in the business, and

10. Hang around positive people.

So start today and rocket your business out of the atmosphere!
