People Love You! They Want To Hear From You!
I was talking with a fellow real estate agent the other day, I told her that I noticed she hadn’t been posting videos lately. I usually love Kacee’s videos. They always make me smile and provide a good chuckle. Not because I’m laughing at her but because she is a genuine person and that shows with how she interacts with people, even on an Instagram video. While we both work really hard for our clients, she is my real estate personality polar opposite. We are very different people. I have a feeling if we ever teamed up we would take over the world.
Like Pinkie and the Brain.
Maybe like Danny Ocean and Rusty Ryan.
Batman and Robin.
Maybe Donnie and Marie, if you’re not familiar with the other duos I mentioned.
Anyway.
Moving on.
Kacee has been one of the agents I have looked up to since I started in real estate. I am amazed at the hard work and time she puts in for clients. And just like her clients, I’m sure I don’t even know everything she does. She does magic, most of it behind the scenes. There have been at least two occasions I have told people that if I were to use an agent, other than myself, it would be Kacee. But there is a secret something I see in her that drives me crazy.
I say that because it is one of the things that I constantly deal with myself.
Kacee and I aren’t alone. Lots of other people have the same problem, I’m sure some of you reading this post have the same problem.
Maybe, problem isn’t the best word for it.
I don’t think it is a problem. It only becomes a problem when we let it get in the way, becoming the Hoover Dam of our progress.
Being overly critical of ourselves.
Not long ago Kacee posted one of her videos and someone said an off the cuff comment.
That comment caused Kacee some internal conflict.
So much so that she stopped posting videos. It made her question her abilities as a real estate agent and she is a gifted real estate agent.
Next what happened was a pep talk that was as much for me as it was for her.
Kacee, people love you! They want to hear from you!
Stop being hard on yourself and get back to being you!
Sometimes our biggest, demanding, negative critic is the one between our ears. When we let the critic control our thoughts that is when being critical causes the problems. When we learn to give the critic their brief moment of attention, acknowledge it, get to work doing the necessary tweaking and continue forward is when we can make the biggest changes. We don’t need to let the critic take up residence in our mind rent free it doesn’t do anyone any good, especially ourselves.
Sometimes you just need a friend to shake some sense into you.
Glad to see you back at it Kacee.
