I have spent the first twenty years as a real estate professional without a process for intentionally processing what is going on in my business at the moment.

It is common to start something new and follow the people around you. Whoever is the number one agent or the set of instructions your new boss gives you. Your career begins with no instructions, as the power of learning to be mindful.

How to "Be Where Your Feet Are"

It wasn't until I started on my journey to become a business and life coach that I discovered the power of having a process for being mindful, grounded, attentive, and centered on the moment.

I learned that mindfulness helps us freeze-frame what we are currently experiencing.

As a new agent, there is so much coming at you. You have to learn how to do the work of delivering brokerage services to buyers and sellers. You need to learn who is your ideal customer, How to market to them and finally how to do direct out reach. At the same time, you need to show yourself that this new business will deliver on your hopes and dreams.

Slowing down to learn how to notice what is happening will allow you to speed up your progress in both learning and execution.

Mindfulness grants you the insight into the three characteristics of all things.

In all things, there is a beginning, middle, and end. Or to say it another way, all worldly things are impermanent. Where you are as a new agent is temporary. You will not be a beginner forever. You are experiencing the business for the first time. The truth is, when you see that all things go through the three basic phases of Creation, Existence, and Ending.

You have no need to be attached or distracted by your current situation of being new to the business.
