You Should Be All In
Get All In and Stop Toe Dipping
Are you “All In”? That is a simple question… ARE YOU “ALL IN”? I am speaking about your primary business. Are you fully engaged and making your business a success? Or are you just toe-dipping?
I don’t have time for toe dippers. You know who the toe dippers are. I know them because I used to be one. I have been very keen on spotting them. They are the people who ask for the “secret formula” to success but have not bought all the products. They call and email you and want the “magic pill” but haven’t written one blog post, spent a dime in advertising, and haven’t spent 1 hour reading anything.
Toe dippers never get in the pool. They dip their toes to check the temperature. “Oh, it’s too cold… it’s too hot… let’s go find another pool.” You don’t get rewarded for being average. Toe dippers get below-average results. Toe Dippers get demoted, fired, or laid off. They never make the money they think should make. The Toe Dippers never get All In.
All In and other Businesses
In real estate, you don’t earn the big commissions if you are not “All In.” For a real estate agent “All In” means your real estate license, your Realtor® Designation, E&O Insurance, business license in some cities, Realtor® Dues, MLS Fees, and that’s just to get started.
If you are not in compliance with all your real estate requirements… you lose out on money. No BPOs, occupancy checks, inspections, referral fees, commissions on alarm systems, and utility services. You miss out on deep discounts on travel, rental cars, professional services, cell phone services, and buying cars. Why? Because you didn’t get all in.
Worst you may have to split your commissions because you have to piggyback on someone who is all in and they get paid off your hard work. When you use another Realtor’s MLS to list your property they get all the benefits. You have to pay them, they get marketing exposure, and you are helping their stats. Way to go big guy!
Professionals Do It too
Teachers, Accountants, Athletes, Entertainers, Law Enforcement, Fire Fighters, Military Personnel, Nurses, Doctors, and politicians all have to be all in to get their full pay. Union…
