With the economic downturn and the mass hysteria, it's all too easy to make some deadly mistakes that
cost you business.

What are these mistakes?

1. Watching and listening to too much media.

The problem with this pattern is that you are contaminating your consciousness with fear and negativity. This lowers your energy and makes you less attractive to your Ideal Clients.

2. Feeling like a victim of the economy.

This is a mistake because you are overlooking that many real estate professionals are doing quite well.

They realize that what Napoleon Hill said is true:
"Within every adversity is an equal or greater opportunity."

3. Focusing on the problems instead of the opportunities.

Yes, you do have a choice. In this economy or in any economy, you can focus on problems or opportunities. The real estate agents that are succeeding in today's economy are enthusiastic about how they can help their clients.

This enthusiasm is contagious. Their ideal clients want to work with them, because there is no "doom and gloom".

Remember, the way you will prosper now, or at any time, is by helping your clients get what they want. Avoid these common mistakes and let your positive mindset turn you into a magnet
for your ideal clients.

As a real estate business coach I get asked this question a lot.  "Does the law of attraction still work in today's economy?"  And the answer is yes, the law of attraction works in any economy. 

In fact the law of attraction works 100% of the time whether you're aware of it or not.  The law of attraction is like a law of gravity.  Even if you don't believe in the law of gravity it's still working.  Whether you're a good person or a bad person, if you jump off a building you'll hit the ground. 

The law of attraction can work in your favor or in your disfavor.  In today's economy it's even more important to use the law of attraction in your favor.  Why?  Because the media is painting such a negative doom and gloom picture that you consciousness absorbs all of this media blitz, and consciously or subconsciously you start focusing on what you don’t want which is scarcity and lack, the two things that the media is talking most about. 

If you have any exposure to the news you know how easy it is to start feeling depressed even after just a little bit of news.  The law of attraction is still working in that case because what you focus on expands and if you focus on lack and scarcity, doom and gloom, poor economy and so forth, then that is exactly what you will manifest as your result.  However, the good news is that it's possible, and not only possible but actually imperative that you use the law of attraction to your advantage while the rest of the world is focusing on the news and the doom and the gloom. 

You have a choice.  You can focus on the gloom and become a victim like most people, or you can choose to use the law of attraction to create the kind of results that you want.  Remember, like attracts like and you get what you focus on.  You can focus on abundance and you can focus on opportunities no matter what's happening in the economy.  What the media doesn't report is the good news. 

The media sells better when it reports bad news.  In fact there's a line.  If it bleeds, it reads.  All the more important why you should look for the good news.  Did you know that there were more millionaires created in the Great Depression than at any other time in American history?  But the media doesn't report that. 

Did you know that Napoleon Hill said "Within every adversity is an equal or greater benefit."?  The media also doesn't report that.  Did you know that in today's real estate market there are wonderful opportunities?  All you have to do is look for them. 

One of my former clients is doing exceptionally well in today's economy because she stands out.  She is unique.  She doesn't bring and doom and gloom to her clients.  She brings the good news of how they can benefit from today's economy. 

Do you want to the law of attraction to operate in your favor?  Then start using it now. 

First, get clear on what you don't want.  That should be very easy.  It's all the things that the media is talking about.  Then focus on what you do want.  Probably it will be an abundance of ideal clients. Clearly define what you mean by an ideal client. 

Next, clearly define your vision and see what it feels like to have what you want. After you have clarified your vision, ask yourself: “What self-limiting beliefs do I need to release to manifest my vision?” If you have self-limiting beliefs such as "There's never enough money." or "To be successful you have to work long hours, struggle, and sacrifice." or "I don't have what it takes to be successful." then those beliefs will stop you from succeeding. 

With the help of a mentor or a coach you can find a way to turn those beliefs in to empowered beliefs, like "There is an abundance of money.” “We live in an abundant universe.” “I am a child of God and God wants me to have abundance.” “I have all that it takes to succeed.” “To be successful I need to work smarter, not harder." 

In summary, there's never been a better time to use the law of attraction in your favor.  In fact if you don't use the law of attraction in your favor it will use you and then you will become one of the statistics that the news is talking about.  Don't let that happen to you.  Remember what Napoleon Hill said, "In every adversity is an equal or greater benefit." Your job is to find it.

Do you find yourself avoiding certain types of clients?  Do you find yourself unable to speak the truth to sellers when their properties are overpriced?  If you’re like most real estate professionals, your “people pleaser” pattern often gets in the way of telling the truth.  When you’re not able to tell the truth to your sellers, they lose respect for you, and you end up losing the transaction.

This is similar to a client of mine, named Pauline, who was unable to reach her financial goals because she only wanted to work with buyers.  When I probed into what was blocking her, she said that she really didn’t like the idea of working with sellers.  In fact, her dislike was so great that she actually avoided speaking with sellers.

When I asked her why, she said it was because they would be demanding. They wouldn’t price their homes at the right number; they would expect her to spend a lot of money to sell their house; they would really pressure her and create a lot of stress for her.

I asked her why it was that she gave her power away to these people instead of setting appropriate boundaries.  I asked her why she wasn’t able to tell them the truth about the price of their homes.  With a little prompting and encouragement, she discovered that she had been suffering from a very strong people pleasing pattern her whole life; it showed up in different areas.

In this case, it showed up whenever she thought about working with a seller.  In her interactions with sellers, she gave her power to them; she let them control the situation; she let them set the price; she didn’t set appropriate boundaries.  In fact, she ignored one of Stephen Covey’s basic rules, which is, “It’s either win/win or no deal.”  For her, every situation with a seller was they won and she lost.

When we explored her people pleasing pattern a little bit deeper to find about the origins of when that was programmed in her mind, it turned out that it started very early in her life.  In fact, as a very young child, her only way of getting any attention was to be a family “people pleaser”.

I pointed out to her that that was probably a good strategy at the time, but like a program that you put into your computer, unless you change the program, it will just keep going on and on forever.  I asked her if she would finally like to change that old “people pleaser” pattern, and she agreed.

Coming back to her current age, she realized that if she kept on being a “people pleaser”, she would not be able to fulfill her potential, she would not make the money she needed, and she would constantly be stressed out.  I asked her if those consequences were acceptable to her, and she adamantly said, “No.”

With a very short technique, I introduced her to the idea of releasing her “people pleaser” pattern once and for all.  When she did that, she felt much lighter.  And then I asked her to come up with a list of empowered beliefs, and she created this list:  “I just need to please myself, and no one else.”  “I don’t need people to like me, I just need people to respect me.” “It’s either win/win or no deal.”  “The only person’s approval I need is my own.”

Those new empowered beliefs allowed her to take her power back.  It gave her the ability to tell the truth.  My general comment to all real estate professionals in today’s market is that above all, be honest.  When you’re working with a prospective client who is a seller, be sure that they are willing to price their home at the price point that you advise them.

If they insist on an unrealistic price, do not work with them; you would only be engaging in an interaction in which they would win and you would lose.  Keep in mind Stephen Covey’s famous principle from his book, The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, it’s either win/win or no deal.
