Self-Mastery
Real Estate Good Life is your destination for finding the answer to the most important question of your life:
“What is the best way to live as a real estate agent?”
This question was beat over the head of the glorious Greeks by a sweet robe’d cool cat named Socrates back in the day.
The answer to this question for you is simple – AND, super super hard.
The simple answer is: to live in passionate pursuit of your personal greatness. Which also happens to be the super hard answer to the same question.
“Hey Bart, what gives? How can one answer equal two answers?”
Well, it’s like this – in order to pursue your personal greatness we need a defined objective or destination.
For which we have two.
One: to avoid the regret of lying on our deathbed at the end of our life and in walks the person we could’ve been… the person we should’ve been.
Two: the only way to “achieve” the destination of personal greatness is through Self-Mastery.
We’ll discuss Self-Mastery in an upcoming email.
In the meantime, let these words blow the stank off yer face:
Abraham Maslow studied the greatest people of his generation. People like Eleanor Roosevelt and Albert Einstein.
He’s best known for his theory called The Hierarchy of Needs – which we’ll discuss on a different day (it’s fascinating).
What I know him best for is what can help us define our personal greatness. He said,
“What one CAN be, one must be.”
That in a nutshell is our Mission in life.
(Mission: a fancier word for goal).
Have a great day my friend,
Bart “Real Estate Jedi” Vickrey
Podcast Episode #184
#184: Getting back in the saddle (within the process of mastery – you go “all-in” – within the mentality of going all-in – sometimes you fall off the horse – we must then get back in the saddle.)
Hilarious story of too many beers, too many cookies, and a bunch of Nacho Cheese Doritos.
Mastery: The Keys to Success and Longterm Fulfillment by George Leonard
Here is a pdf copy of the book for you to enjoy.
Here are your Book Notes for Mastery:
Lead Generation Tips, Tricks, and Tactics: Build the List
Build the List. I cannot say this enough. This goes to my quote about the painfully obvious…
“The scariest observation is staring directly at the glaringly obvious that everyone chooses to ignore.” – Bart Vickrey
That quote was made when I was thinking and writing about the 3 Deadly Diseases of Despair: fatness – brokeness – and dumbness. As you know, if you accept my words, thoughts, and ideas as Theory (which is all that they are) and put them into Practice (only you can “walk through the door”) you will get Results (lose weight, starve debt, and get fat on cash).
Now back up to the quote and read the last four words… everyone chooses to ignore. WTF!!!
How in the world can you expect results if you don’t start implementing the simplest of strategies found here inside the Good Life?
It simply is not possible.
“You cannot continue to do dumb things and expect a smart result.” – Bart Vickrey
Use a CRM system, put your “list” inside, communicate with the list consistently (and patiently) over time, grow the list (build it like a snowball), repeat, repeat, repeat!!!
The “List” will produce at least a 10% transaction return for you over time. For instance, a list of 100 people communicated with over time will generate a predictable 10 transactions a year through repeat and referral business (which just so happens the best f*cking kind!!!).
Now take that statistic and build the list to 1,000 people… that’s 100 transactions every year JUST from this Theory (you must make it a practice).
