“If you leave your business and you’re not making any money, you have a job. The last thing I wanted to do was go back to an industry where I had a job.\u00a0I want a business.”<\/strong><\/p><\/div>

In 1939 Harvard began following the lives of 724 men<\/a>. It’s the only study of its kind because they’ve never stopped. Every year they interview the participants measure their vitals and even record them having conversations with their spouses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today about 90 of the participants still survive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s the remarkable thing. Guess what the most accurate predictor of long life was?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robert Waldinger<\/a>, the current director of the study, said it wasn’t cholesterol or some other symptom. It turns out it was how happy they were with their current relationships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People in satisfied relationships not only lived longer, but they had less cases of schitzophrenia, dementia and alzheimers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What does this all have to do with real estate?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mind is a beautiful thing. And one’s mindset has a powerful role to play on the outcomes of our lives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marly Walters, Real Estate Agent<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Real estate agent Marly Walters had a marketing background but didn’t really apply it to real estate. She was getting sphere of influence leads and did okay doing a few transactions, but “by no means was doing as well as she was when she was in corporate.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In her second year she switched brokers, but still was having a hard time getting her business to grow. She did a short stint in commercial real estate, but decided she preferred residential as it was more about the people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally she said, “When I was leaving commercial I said, ‘Okay, there are people out there making money in real estate. And I’m not it. So I’ve got to figure out how what people are doing.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She did some research into coaching programs. She came across Proctor and that really changed her mindset about the real estate industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“What I really need is to get systems and leads.”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So began her mindset shift.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before her results shifted her mindset shifted in 3 ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
