We provide various professional development training classes, mentor programs and we make one-to-one coaching available with our highly experienced, top producing management team. In doing so, we help our agents meet or exceed their goals ever year! 
Here is an example of what we do to help agents with their marketing plans, to give them more focus and get better results.
The ‘marketing mix’ is a foundation concept in marketing that consists of the “5 P’s” – Product, Promotion, Price, Place and People. This is how we relate these fundamentals to real estate marketing:
We help our agents use these tangible and intangible “P’s” by incorporating them into their business plans, helping them become top producing agents with balanced lives. Several of our agents have received numerous awards from RE/MAX including the Hall of Fame Award and the Lifetime Achievement Award by incorporating this marketing and mindset into their businesses.

About 1.5 years ago I made a decision to get in better shape so I could live a more independent life as I aged and would not become immobile relying on others to help me do daily tasks. 
During this time, as I start each day at the gym, I listen to or watch motivational videos and it makes you reflect upon your own beliefs and how you should live your life.
My belief is I need to live with the following elements in mind:
With these components in your life, you will be a success in any endeavor. These beliefs have taken me to a new adventure, as a team of us from RE/MAX Gateway are going to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro.

Which will you do – rise and excel?
Will you do nothing or the same things you have always done and get what you have always received or get even less?
What will you become if you do act?
You have set them for yourself. Act accordingly to make them happen. Put the action items in your calendar, plan each day the night before, have a to do list of high priority activities in place to accomplish your goals and do them. Get a routine in place and make it a habit. If you want time, you need to make it – you won’t find it. Your calendar is gateway to success.
Too often I hear excuses of why something cannot be done. Stop with the excuses and start making things happen. It is a choice. It is easy to do nothing it is hard to make a change, accept the challenge and become better. You must expect great things of yourself before you can do them.
The critical thing you need to realize is you have to start. Whatever you need to do to take the first step to success and achievement. Put down the fork, go to the gym, make the call, go to the networking event, hold the open house, blog, do videos, visit with your past clients, just do the activity. Whatever the goal you want to attain needs to start with “a first step”. What is your first step? Why? What happens if you don’t take it? More importantly, what happens if you do? Life is full of choices – make the right ones to get you moving in a positive direction and get you out of your rut.
Important things to remember are to not overestimate the competition and do not underestimate yourself. You are better than you think. By doing the activities required for success, you will develop the skills, mental toughness and ability to forge ahead when things get difficult. By taking action you gain confidence in your abilities, you stretch outside your comfort zone and you learn.
Will you make mistakes? Yes.
Will it be difficult at times? Yes.
Will it kill you? NO.
So stop wasting time and move forward and grow from what you have learned. Go out and make your own luck.
You have set your goals – do what it takes to make them happen. You wouldn’t have written them out if you didn’t expect them to happen. Life is changing rapidly, daily and you need to adjust to become better and make your dreams come true. It is so important to increase your level of commitment so you can overcome the frustrations you have had with your previous results. Doing nothing to change to improve yourself is actually regressing. Regression is not an option. Take the appropriate action required. Now is the time. Procrastination is over and 2015 is the time to start to make something more of yourself. Get it? Got it? Good!

As you grow and develop it is necessary to experience discomfort. You will need to break out of your comfort zone and create a new comfort zone that will help you expand yourself and your business. In some cases in can be referred to as expanding your box – get out of your box and experience exponential success. Let’s review how this can be broken down into manageable steps:
D – Decide that you need to do more than you are doing to get you more results than you are receiving today. Being satisfied with your results today won’t advance your future. At the same time, getting fewer results than you desire is going to put you further behind. Decide to do more today.
I – Implement the strategies required to make you attain the success you need to grow. It could be building more relationships, making more calls, attending more events, or whatever it takes to get you in front of more people. Relationships are the key to success. Build relationships deeper, make new ones and make them count for you and them!
S – Strateg
ize the what, how and benefits of what your actions will do for you and others. It will be necessary to adapt to the changing environment and make yourself relevant. Technology is rapidly changing all aspects of our lives and you need to make sure your strategy is in alignment with these changes.
C – Create the vision to make it happen. Write down what is necessary for your success, visualize your success in these undertakings and the results it will bring you and others – and they will happen.
O – Ownership of the ideas, thoughts and necessary tasks to get you to where you want to go will enable you to achieve your success. If you don’t buy into the end result, you won’t leave your comfort zone and make it happen.
M – Mastery of stretching yourself beyond your comfort zone through repetition, role playing and rehearsal will make you more comfortable in doing what is necessary to take yourself to the next level. Become a master of what steps you need to take to make it take place for you.
F – Find people who will help push you out of your comfort zone and want to see you become successful. Having others hold you accountable, help you grow and have your best interest at heart is vital to your growth.
O – Opportunities will become available to you as you make yourself expand and grow outside your comfort zone. You will be able to direct your future and take advantage of these opportunities. Luck is preparation meeting opportunity – be ready by experiencing discomfort.
R – Reward yourself for your new found comfort zone. If you don’t take the time to pat yourself on the back with small, medium or large rewards for your efforts, you won’t continue to put forth the effort. Rewarding yourself is a critical piece to keeping you motivated to do more.
T – Track and measure your results so you know how far away or how close you are to your goals and what you need to do to expand yourself to make these dreams a reality. What can be measured can be improved. Tracking what needs to be done for your success is imperative to receive results.
Discomfort allows you to grow and become better in the end and it is necessary for your success in all areas of your life. As the saying goes, if you aren’t growing, you are dying. Step up your efforts, step up your activities, grow outside your comfort zone – with baby steps or by leaps and bounds – and get where you want to go faster and perhaps even further than you expected. Get it? Got it? Good!
