As 2009 approaches, most real estate professionals have packed up their bags and are crossing their fingers for a better year that is just around the corner.  Unfortunately for that bunch, doing the same practices and hoping for a market change to save them is not going to yield any tangible results. 

Change is inevitable.  Whether the new year ticks or not the market is constantly changing and the way to get new business changes.  Trying new marketing or implementing is not always easy, in fact, it’s often challenging and painful because we fear the unknown and making mistakes. 

Albert Einsten once said:

“A person who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.”

If it’s ok for Albert Einstein to make a mistake, I think it’s ok for the rest of us. Too often we fear mistakes because we think it is bad to mess up, or even worse to think that we “failed”. I have often learned better lessons from my mistakes than I have from my successes because I am forced to look at what led me to the error so that I can avoid.

It is not that I don’t fear mistakes, it is just that I must control my fear to try new things. In fact, one of our coaches, Todd Bates, is famous for saying “control your fear” and it helps because it makes you reach to try new marketing that can take you to the next level.
