Online Real Estate Technology

I’ve long been a believer in the power of positive thinking and in my business career,taking positive action when it seemed that the odds were against me succeeding. That is why, today, I’m very positive about real estate agents maintaining their advertising spend on the on line space and not cutting subscriptions to the main real estate portals. If you are wanting to cut expenses, look at how much you spend in press for an add in the real estate section each week, and I’ll bet that you spend as much, or probably more, on that add than you do on your on line subscription. 

The other area that will help you is training, seeing how other people can overcome the hard times or even to succeed when the market is tough, is inspiring to us. I know that I get inspired by the power of positive thought and positive actions by those around me. The Domain breakfast series that we have been running is part of that positive approach and it never seems to amaze me that some of you out there, yes, real estate agents, can’t see the big picture, and can’t be bothered attending a 2 hour breakfast to learn, or to discover new ideas and concepts that will actually help you and your business. To those that do attend, and are always willing to push the boundaries or look at how they can improve in the current economic slowdown, i hope you get what you deserve, and that is success!!    

To that end, I spent some time in September on a seminar series with Grant Thorpe, Life Coach and Business Mentor, and Grants approach to life and assisting his clients build success stories around them is a positive experience that in tough times can help you weather the storm.  

Grant recently wrote an article on his blog about surviving the tough times and shared his strategies for gaining on and beating your competitors in tough times. I thought I would share this article with you, I hope it inspires you, I hope it gives you strategies to power forward in what you do in your life and your business.
