Avoid The Red Flags

Avoid the Red Flags

This episode is about avoiding the red flags in your business. I wish I would have known this lesson two or three years ago as I started my real estate career.

Here are some red flags:

Clients that are not my avatar
Clients who are impossible to please
Agents who complain too much
Products or services that aren’t right for the business
A potential tenant who talks about partying too hard
Someone who needs to move in today

There have been plenty of times I didn’t avoid the red flags, and times I did:

An team applicant who did not fit
Some buyers who seemed impossible to please
Some sellers who were unethical
A few potential coaching clients who made too many excuses

Some buyers and sellers are not bad people; they’re just not a right fit for you. Refer them to another agent.

Opportunities

There are so many different opportunities. We don't want to have shiny ball syndrome where we jump at every single one. I don’t want to do that in my business or with my podcast. I want to go for the best opportunities that really fit, and avoid the red flags.

Many reach out to me about advertising on the podcast. It must align with my brand and mission. I want it to fit and be something I'm passionate about. I don't just say yes because they're going to pay me.

That's why I didn't take any advertising for the first year plus in the podcast because I wanted to choose the advertising carefully.

Takeaway

Learn to spot and avoid red flags. The more you can learn to avoid the red flags, the more successful you can become.
