Don’t “Feel” Through the Situation
Women in the real estate industry face disproportionate levels of stress and difficulty, but that doesn’t mean we have to succumb to it! A successful career starts with how well we manage our emotions, which is why “Don’t Feel through the Situation” is such an important mindset.
This strategy allows us to take control of our responses to delicate situations, strategically addressing and overcoming the roadblocks that often impede careers in real estate.
Whether worries arise from a challenging transaction or a difficult client, this positive outlook helps women remain composed and proceed freely on their journey. So let’s all stop feeling through the situation and start succeeding in the real estate industry!
Set Boundaries Early and Often
It takes strength and courage to set boundaries. As women in the real estate game, it’s essential that we do just that—set boundaries! Doing so will avoid emotional roadblocks that have the potential to derail our careers.
Boundaries round out relationships, create fair expectations and increase respect. When you set a boundary, be clear and consistent.
Don’t allow emotions to play into setting expectations or obstacles for yourself or others. Being determined to stick by your limits will help ensure smooth sailing for your real estate career, as well as your relationships with colleagues and clients alike.
Owning your power to set boundaries shows true strength of character—now go on and show them who’s boss!
Let Go Of Uncertainty
Too many women entrepreneurs are held back by their uncertainty and lack of confidence. But they shouldn’t be! It’s time to shake off the emotional roadblocks that prevent women from growing their real estate career further.
Women need to get out of their own way, let go of insecurity, and focus on self-improvement strategies such as networking, self-promotion and investing in education.
Once you take the first steps towards real estate success, you’ll find that more opportunities come your way – and you’ll be ready for them.
So let go of your fear and uncertainty today: start setting yourself up for an amazing real estate career tomorrow. After all, why wait another day?
Get Curious, Not Defensive
Women in real estate have been navigating emotionally charged issues that could disrupt their success for as long as they’ve been in the business. Rather than getting defensive and letting these issues stop them, it’s time to switch strategies and start getting curious.
By taking the time to uncover the underlying beliefs and feelings behind these emotional roadblocks, women can identify strategies to help them take charge of their career.
With access to important knowledge, tools, and resources, a shift in strategy will encourage curiosity over defensiveness. Women can move past their emotional roadblocks and advance their real estate career without sacrificing pride or relationships.
Together we can make sure that every woman is on an equal footing in terms of opportunity and accessibility!
Avoid Multitasking Like The Plague
Women in the real estate business should not let themselves be fooled into believing that multitasking is a virtue! Doing multiple tasks at once will lead to stress, burnout, and other emotional roadblocks that can really sabotage your career.
Avoiding the temptation to multitask is key for women who want to rise in their real estate career. Focus on one single thing at a time and make sure you have clear goals set before you spend your energies on any endeavor.
Taking a mindful approach to your workload will help increase production and efficiency while decreasing stress and anxiety levels, allowing women everywhere to succeed in their real estate career!
Embrace Your Role As A Problem Solver
Women have the unique ability to be problem solvers and create solutions, making them essential in any real estate business. However, there are many emotional roadblocks that can get in the way of achieving success.
From never having enough time, to overcoming the fear of failure and feelings of being overwhelmed. It can be easy for women in the real estate industry to become derailed.
So take a proactive approach and consciously work on eliminating these emotional roadblocks. Then You can step into your power and go forward with your career ambitions. Women need to be mindful of what needs to change in order to reach their goals. Embrace the role as a problem solver.
Understanding our own psychology and actively tackling roadblocks is the main key to unlocking our full potential and maximizing our real estate career successes.
Use “I” Statements Instead of “You” Statements
As a real estate professional, communication is key to achieving success. Women can use “I” statements when facing difficult conversations with clients or making a pitch. Being more assertive by speaking in terms of your own feelings and perspectives can have a powerful effect.
It’s important to take responsibility for your emotions and eliminate emotional roadblocks that hold you back from reaching your goals. Instead of focusing on the other person’s fault and using “you” statements, shifting your language to focus on yourself diffuses negative situations and makes it easier to reach a common understanding.
When used correctly, “I” statements provide an effective way to get your point across without getting stuck in a disagreement or argument. Utilize these techniques and see how they can help you reach peak performance in all aspects of your career.
Don’t Take Criticism Personally
Women in the real estate industry know it’s difficult to succeed without receiving criticism. Often fraught with emotion, criticism can derail a business plan and destroy one’s motivation. But here’s the secret: taking criticism personally is a choice, and it doesn’t have to be your reality.
Instead of being triggered internally when given feedback, remember that it’s simply valuable guidance—dispassionately delivered information you can use as fuel to expand your business even more robustly. Listening objectively takes practice, but the rewards make all that effort worth it.
Get brave, stay focused on your goals, and don’t take criticism personally—it will help you avoid getting emotionally derailed on the way to achieving your long-term success in real estate.
Rise Above
The goal is to rise above the negative voice that’s holding you back and reach a level of success you may have only dreamed about before.
You deserve it! Emotional roadblocks don’t have to keep you from having an incredibly successful real estate career. Just acknowledge them, work through them, and let us know how we can help you along the way.
