#1 HABIT That Will Change Your World

There are doubtless many paths to success. That, perhaps, is the interesting thing about life, business, and success in general; that there are many paths to arrive at your desired destination. However, there are some things that you can do that can have a dramatic impact on your business and life in the short term. When compared to other success tools, these excel in a manner the others do not. In this article, we’ll discuss one such habit, or better put, decision, that if you make, will transform your life seemingly overnight. Be warned, however, that the following paragraphs do not contain the be-all-end-all secret to success. What we will discuss is more of a cornerstone principle that those who have achieved success follow. Let’s dig in.

What’s Your Comfort Zone?

Let us start by talking a bit about comfort. As humans, we are creatures of comfort. You can say that most advances achieved by humanity have to do with achieving some level of comfort (and utility of course!) Zooming in, as a real estate agent, you probably know comfort all too well. Comfort is when you are seated in your office, hot coffee mug in your hand, catching up on the news. Comfort is when you are closing multiple deals every month. Comfort, in a nutshell, is all you currently have and do; car, home, job, money, business, family, etc. That is your comfort zone.

What is your discomfort zone?

If your comfort zone is all that you have and all that you can do with ease, then your discomfort zone is all that you do not have and all that you struggle to do. In your discomfort zone are your dream car, your dream home, your dream business revenue, your dream life. However, also in your discomfort zone are things you struggle to do or do not do at all. These include making dozens of sales calls each day, following up consistently on your leads, working out at the gym consistently, trading instant gratification for delayed gratification, spending more time with your family, etc. As you can see, all these things are desirable yet hard and uncomfortable to achieve. So, what is the solution?

Do Uncomfortable Things Every Day

If all the things you desire exist outside of your comfort zone, in your discomfort zone, it means you must do uncomfortable things to achieve the things that exist in that zone. Sounds straightforward, right? That is because it is! Nothing will bring you greater success than doing the things that most other people are unwilling to do. While other agents are contented to stay within their comfort zone and do comfortable things, you have an opportunity to blast past the competition simply by doing the uncomfortable things they don’t. As Grant Cardone, celebrity sales coach, says, “If you want 10x results, you must put in 10x the work!” If you make 10x the calls you make today, you will get 10x the listings you have today. If you spend 10x the time you currently spend at the gym, you will get 10x the results. If you spend 10x the time you currently spend with your family now, you will create 10x the memories. Just remember, 1x is easy and comfortable, 10x is hard and uncomfortable.

Watch Out for the Fear Trap

Here is a cautionary note: fear will try to stop you from doing uncomfortable things to achieve extraordinary success. Fear of criticism, fear of failure, fear of wasted resources, fear of peer review, fear of success will all try to hold you back. When you are digging in and trying to do those hard and uncomfortable things, fear will try to talk you down and discourage you from being persistent. Fear is part of the mountain you must conquer to achieve extraordinary success. If you can keep moving no matter the doubts and fears and other setbacks, you can achieve a level of success that will make every single step you took worth it.
