Hello Michael,
I wanted to personally thank you for your time yesterday. Your contribution to our ALC team was second to none. As a person who is fortunate enough to sit in many rooms with many top tier KW players, yesterday was so impactful for me.
I had mentioned I had a year of fall out, 7-9 transactions, gone, expired, terminated, timeframe moved or permanently changed. Never in my career have I had such an upsetting year, and I have not done well with all of the loss of business. I’ve internalized this all to my doing – where in reality, it was situational to each individual’s willingness or life changes. I have never had an expired listing; this year I had two in the same week!
Nonetheless – yesterday I felt as though you were speaking to me about KW, work, pipelines, etc. – not at me. It was so refreshing to hear someone else say they were going through the motions both projected onto and expected of them vs going after the business to the tune of their authentic self. It’s almost like you gave me permission for a few things – for having a hard year and not blaming myself or criticizing myself as a professional and my ability to help people the way I do. Additionally, permission to part with my current coach who has been trying for over a year to get me to be an online influencer, despite my continuous rejection of doing so, and finally for giving me the hope I had lost through feeling like my best wasn’t good enough.
Anyway, you do not need to be a diary keeper of my Summer of Hard, but I did want to thank you for how you poured into us yesterday, how your realism made me realize that being real and authentic is the key, that hard times happen and it’s a matter of how you roll with the punches and that people are missing out if they are not lining up to work with me.
I wish you continued health and success with your career, family and personal health journey. Thank you for inspiring me and giving me back the feeling of HOPE in my profession.
Heather H.
