J. Mayfield writes, "By using GAS as an acronym for goals, attitude, and selectivity, real estate practitioners can make sure they are fueling themselves to succeed."
My Overview of GAS:
Goals
If you do not have written goals, how do you know where your going, the actions you need to take to get there and the resources you will use along the way? It's kind of like driving your car home from the office at night without head lights.
Clear, measurable, and attainable goals should be in writing. It is important to have both short term and long term goals that you review regularly. Each goal should have deadlines or mile markers so you can track your progress and for accountability. Build in rewards for your achievements both at the end and for each mile marker.
Attitude
Having the right attitude is essential for a successful career. Our industry is always changing and with many challenges that at times can disappoint even the best. What is important is the attitude we approach these challenges.
Selectivity
Being selective of your environment is imperative. Your in control of bringing in positive and negative energy to your life. Eliminate the negative energy vampires as they can negatively impact your success. Trade them in for positive influences. Some suggested ways would be through brooks, associates, training, associates and possibly a change in office.
Each element of GAS weave together like individual strands of a woven basket. When combined together they lead to a successful career.
