Be a Winner!

Be a Winner!

Author: Terry Miller

The fact is, that to do anything in the world worth doing, we must not stand back shivering and thinking of the cold and danger, but jump in and scramble through as well as we can.

Robert Cushing

Let us strive to improve ourselves, for we cannot remain stationary; one either progresses or retrogrades.

Mme. Du Deffand

One of the first things I usually say at the start of a motivational talk is winners and losers are predetermined but only the winner knows it! I say this because I believe it with all my heart. A winner jumps into a situation and proceeds to deal with it by any means necessary. While a loser sits back and makes excuses as to why something can't be done. A winner thinks on his feet and moves forward. While a loser says they need more time to look at the situation. A winner starts with a good plan and makes it better as the situation calls for it. While a loser will always be planning to do something and never start doing anything. A winner makes good in business. While a loser hopes for a break in business. A winner will congratulate another winner when he is bested by them. While a loser will make excuses and cast blame. Get the picture. I thought you might. Always remember that the easiest thing to do when something goes amiss is to blame or make an excuse. Don't do it! As my grandmother would say put on your big girl panties and deal with it. Have a reputation as a can do kind of business professional not a whiner. For years I have been known affectionately as the trash man and I love it. I earned this reputation in another career and it carried over into my current businesses. You see I believe that I can sell any property. So properties other Realtors would pass on because of condition or some other oddity, I get sold. You've got a house with a tree in the middle of it after a hurricane, call me, I can sell it. I have earned the reputation as the trash man and I relish it.

As a winner you have to look for opportunities to excel at your chosen profession. As a winner you thrive on accomplishment and recognition from your peers. Being a winner is more than a state of mind, it is truly a way of life. To be a winner you must be driven more than the average person. Being a winner also means being respectful of everyone that doesn't share the same goals or aspirations you do. A winner is not arrogant, they are confident and secure in who they are. As a winner you will always be mentoring someone to follow in your footsteps. Mentoring or teaching is one of the most rewarding things I do and I recommend it to everyone. You will learn more than the people you teach, I promise. I work with new Realtors everyday that I know will do much better in their real estate business than I have. I am proud to help them embark on their new profession. They will never hear anything but encouragement from me. You see, I sincerely want them to be as big and grand as they want to be.

In 2007 the Miller Team put over 500 listings on the board to win the regional award for #1 for a second year in a row. Terry attributes this enormous growth to his partnering with Denise both in business and in life. Terry married Denise on September 29th in 2007 and his life and his business exploded in ways he never thought possible. From an innocent training class called the buyer said yes “Now What? designed for new agents who had never sold a property Denise realized that more of a nuts and bolts type of training was needed for all agents and sold Terry on the idea of being the lead spokesperson.
