Moving Out of My Comfort Zone

“I'm coming out of my comfort zone
Some of the places in my life that's comfortable
God is challenging me, trust and believe
For to go where I've not gone, I must do what I've not done”

~Marvin Sapp~

This song motivated me through the latter half of 2011 and is now my seed of inspiration for 2012. Yes, I moved out of my comfort zone. I called all my past client in my database to reconnect and let them know, I am still in the Real Estate business. As nervous I was, I knew it would give my business the boost it needed. My database is now tapered to a working network of individuals that can attest to my trustworthiness, diligence and success-driven work ethic.

In 2011, I was also able to launch my very own website. I am no longer promoting listingbook, my broker or some other third party company. It’s all about Gloria Walters, the brand, the Realtor. I even have my own logo.

The number of training courses I attended in 2011 was also the highest in all of my real estate years combined. “I am coming out of my comfort zone” and rightfully so, I should. The landscape of the market has changed. There is so much a Real Estate professional needs to be knowledge of.

It’s now 2012 and I have established a new set of goals, where I must force myself to leave the comforting womb of complacency and redundancy. Overcoming these challenges, will certainly lead to well deserved rewards. Greater success is in my future and I look forward to every bit of it. I would like to share the inspiring song, which has elevated my thinking, confidence and perseverance to the next level. We all want to be better at something in life. Whatever it is, you need to challenge yourself and come out of your comfort zone!
