Lee Cockerell was the Executive Vice President of Operations at Walt Disney World for ten years. Lee knows what it takes to create magic. You don't have to be at Disney World to create magic. Lee joins the Agents in Action podcast to discuss how Realtors can create magic.
In this episode, we examine the most important and influential keys to accomplishing your goals. It is the strength of your connection to your dreams, purpose, and meaning of your life, which in turn, is the fuel that causes us to take action. This is the difference maker between someone who will persevere when faced with adversity or fold under pressure, withdrawal and give up. The majority of people today have stopped dreaming big, therefore, haven't a great amount of hope for their future. As an example...when I meet an agent, and they share something they are facing a challenge the first thing that comes to my mind is why are they doing this? When we know why we can then figure out how. The “why” is the leverage to step outside the comfort zone. Without a clear sense of “why,” a lot of agents don’t engage in the activities necessary to live out their dreams. As we all know, Walt Disney is arguably the biggest dreamer and visionary of all time.
Here are the key characteristics you need to tap into to accomplish your goals and dreams.
D - Realtors that accomplish their dreams are effective in dealing with distractions.
R - Realtors that accomplish their dreams are resilient.
E - Realtors that accomplish their dreams are enthusiastic.
A - Realtors that accomplish their dreams take action.
M- Realtors that accomplish their dreams maintain a strong mindset.
Look at the characteristics and do an honest assessment of yourself in these five areas? Are you doing all five at the highest level? It’s important to remember there’s nothing wrong with realizing there are areas to improve, we aren’t perfect, and all have room to improve. The biggest room in life is the room for improvement. Take an honest inventory and where you notice areas to improve, take action and develop that characteristic. Life's a journey, not a destination.
