Live and Give from your heart
When I was singing in my old church, I was standing right behind my pastor, and what he said was everything BUT it sounded beautiful – My heart was shattered-I told my father and he said something that stuck with me. All you are required is to sing from within you, make a beautiful noise. Sing from your heart.
“You sang with all your heart,” he said.
Wow!
And since then, I’ve noticed that really great performers, whether they are singers, dancers, musicians, athletes or actors who are really fabulous, it’s about their energy. They perform it all out – from the heart.
Real estate isn’t all that different. We are performers. We perform at Open Houses, listing appointments and contract presentations. And when we reach the client or colleague, it’s often because they are reacting to our energy. And that’s when this work is really, really satisfying.
I’ve noticed a bunch of times after doing something really well and walking away from a performance with a fabulous deal for my clients, I’m feeling the way I’ve felt after one of my heart felt worship times. It’s a high, with the feeling that I’ve played from the heart. When I give because it is what flows from me, and the small efforts in ones life can be life altering moments.
So, think back to some time when you did something exceptionally well. A winning touchdown, being your local spelling bee champion – we all have something. And the next time you’re psyching yourself up for a huge real estate challenge, remember what that felt like and bring it to your real estate practice.
There’s nothing like it! Life and Give from your heart.
