The habits and rituals of successful real estate agents is a topic I get asked about quite often. Whether you already work in real estate or are thinking about a career in real estate, today I want to share a few tips and concepts you can use to make the most out of your days and guide you to a successful career.

The top producers in all industries have one thing in common—they wake up early. Some call it the “5 a.m. club,” which means the earlier you rise, the greater the chances you’ll have a successful business. 

Hal Elrod wrote a book called “The Miracle Morning” about what top producers do to start their day right and give themselves the most energy to make the most impact. He broke the ideal morning routine down into an acronym called S.A.V.E.R.S., which stands for silence, affirmation, visualization, exercise, reading, and scribing. 

Silence is the process of meditation and calming the mind. Allowing yourself a moment of silence is rare, and it really helps you with stress and dealing with situations throughout the day. 

Affirmation is the act of writing out your goals and then saying them out loud so it plants a seed in your subconscious mind and attracts to you more of what you desire. 

Visualization means visualizing (usually by closing your eyes) and creating the scene of what you desire and how it pertains to your goals. 

Exercise is the process of putting your body through strenuous activity to create an accelerated heart rate, release some endorphins, and reap all the benefits that follow. 

Reading is the process of educating the mind and learning key insights from others. The best of the best read at least a chapter a day. 

Scribing is the process of journaling and writing out your thoughts. This tends to clear your mind of clutter and allows you to have more articulate thoughts and words you can use to influence your team. If you don’t have a team, then influencing your clients and the community you serve.
It’s only by combining these concepts that you can be the best version of yourself.
Real estate can be a challenging business. There are many highs and lows. Problems occur daily, and it can feel like a roller coaster ride. If you apply a miracle morning to your days, it will enable you to show up as the best version of yourself. 

All of these concepts are important, and it’s only by combining them that you can be the best version of yourself. However, if you only had to choose one, choose exercise. This is the most important concept because it gives you longevity and the energy you need to endure. With exercise, you’ll feel better, look better, and be able to express yourself better. 

If you’d like to know more about “The Miracle Morning” and how you can apply it to your career, just send me an email and I’d be happy to share a sample and discuss it with you. I look forward to hearing from you.
