| Be the Best YOU that you can be, for your Real Estate Customers |
A little while ago, I read this blog post by Gary Woltal called "Is Your Camel Parked in the Right Desert?". I felt the need to share it, because it spoke volumes to me.
As REALTORS®, most of us are constantly trying to better ourselves. We read and study and learn, with the intention of bettering ourselves, and providing better service to our 
customers. We even do our required continuing education, plus study for even more real estate education and designations. All this is good for us, and for our real estate customers!
But how often do we blame ourselves for not being "top dog" ... "perfect" ... "all-knowing" or even at the "top of the heap"? Well just a lick of common sense is all we need to know that perfection is not attainable. And according to the bible, in Romans 8:1-2 we're told "1Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, 2because through Christ Jesus the law of the spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death."
So perhaps as we better ourselves, we should also remember to embrace our strengths. We all have gifts and talents that are different from each other. This world would be a boring place if we were all the same.
Let's also not forget that it's each of our unique personalities that cause different real estate customers to be drawn to different real estate agents. It's not just about facts and figures. We DO need to know our facts and figures, but we also need to be ourselves. And confidence comes from knowing and embracing who we are.
So be yourself. Embrace your unique talents and abilities. Better yourself! Then bring all you are, and all you can be, to your real estate customers, to your families, and to the world. The real estate industry is STILL a personal, one-on-one industry.
Professionalism, knowledge, confidence, and dedication are desperately needed by our real estate buyers and sellers.
Be sure to read Gary's post. It's an excellent allegory and lesson to be learned. (The link is at the top of this post) Don't try to be someone else. Just be the best YOU that you can be.

What a great post. Thanks for the inspiration. Sometimes I get tired of reading all the listings, and it's refreshing to read other things.
Thanks for the reminder, it is true, we need to give ourselves a break and realize that really doing your best is all that we can ask of ourselves, life is too short
Lisa - You are right. All we can do is be the best we can be. If we have done that then we should be content in the knowledge that we have done all that we can do.
Lisa - You are right. I have tried to market myself to all types and while I got them...I did not feel as comfortable. Got to be me!
