should you become a real estate agent
well probably
not hi there it's kevin ward the founder
of yes masters real estate success
training helping you get more yeses and
more successes in your business
and in your life and yet i'm not kidding
you probably shouldn't become a real
estate agent
if you're thinking about it you don't
have your license yet and you're
thinking is this a time to get in real
estate should i get into real estate
is real estate a good career path should
i become a realtor
you need to know that 70 to 80 percent
of all real estate agents when they get
their license are going to flunk out
flush out fail out within 24 months
so the answer is odds are you should not
become a realtor
unless you can pass the five question
quiz that i'm about to get you
that i'm about to give you about whether
or not becoming a real estate agent is
right for you now
having said that i want to tell you this
that becoming a real estate agent i
think being a real estate agent is one
of the greatest career paths
on the planet if you have
what it takes so in this video i'm going
to lay out for you why you should not
become a realtor
and whether or not you should actually
become a real estate agent so
why should i not become a real estate
agent five things number one do not
become a realtor if
you are lazy
if you're lazy don't do it don't become
a real if you're looking for easy money
if you're thinking
that becoming a real estate agent man
because i like houses and i know a lot
of people or i have a background in
marketing or
i'm great at sales i'm a natural sales
person and you think
you're going to get your real estate
license and you're going to come in and
make a lot of money fast and it's going
to be easy money
you are
mistaken if you're looking for easy
money and you think you can be lazy and
succeed in real estate
it is not going to happen number two
do not become a realtor if you are
impatient if you
can't wait if you think i need to start
today and get paid in a week and then i
want to get paid every week after that
real estate is not the path for you okay
if you're desperate for a paycheck and
going like man i'll get my real estate
license i got to get i got to get paid
fast
real estate is not the place that is
going to happen a lot of real estate
agents come in and they go months
without their first paycheck and then it
can be inconsistent
for a while even if you're good even if
you get the right training even if you
do the right stuff
it can still take a while and if you are
impatient or you're desperate for a
paycheck
real estate is probably not the path for
you to take as a realtor
right now you just have to know that
going in
so number three do not become a realtor
if
you are a d i y er
what is that a do-it-yourselfer and what
i mean by that is
if you think that you get your licensing
or like don't talk to me i got this i
i got a background in marketing i got a
background in construction i got a
background and whatever
and you think that you're going to come
in and figure it out on your own
good luck with that now i'm not saying
you can't do that
but i'm going to tell you that you're
going to spend a lot of time on your
back and a lot of time on your flat on
your face
if you want to succeed in real estate
being a do-it-yourselfer is not the best
way
to do it and most real estate agents
they come in and they come in cocky
and they think i got this because i got
some special background or i got some
special insider knowledge or inside
track or
whatever most of them are in
for a painful discovery that it is not
what they thought and they are not as
good as
they thought they were if you can't take
coaching if you can't take training
from a mentor from somebody who's
already been there and done that
it is going to be a long painful journey
for you i've seen it happen over and
over again
don't become a realtor if you're a
do-it-yourselfer and you're not willing
to take coaching and training number
four
do not become a realtor if you are a
quitter
if you are someone who gives up easily
if you are
one of those tryers i'm going to try it
out i'm going to try it
i'm going to give it a shot i'm going to
see how it goes if you're with somebody
that comes in and just comes in with
reservations and says well i'm just
going to kind of wade into it and just
kind of see if it works for me
you're going to get too many bloody
noses too many black eyes too many
disappointments
to make it okay real estate is for
people who can come in and have an adult
commitment and commit to a course of
action it says i will not be denied
i will not be defeated i will not fail
and i will not
quit if you give up easily and you get
discouraged easily
i am dead serious real estate being a
real estate agent is probably
not for you if you don't have some
emotional toughness
emotional stamina and mental toughness
you probably should take a traditional
career path and and get a boss
and that leads to number five why you
should not become a realtor
is do not become a realtor if you
are not driven
if you don't have personal initiative if
you can't get yourself going if you
don't know
how to kick your own butt real estate is
probably not the path for you
if you need someone else to kick you in
the butt to get you in gear
to get you mo i just need somebody to
hold me accountable i just need somebody
to
motivate me if that's you what you need
is not a business you need a boss
okay bosses are designed for employees
who need somebody to kick them in the
butt
and tell them what to do and make them
go do it but in real estate you are a
business owner
you're an entrepreneur you own the
business and pass
and fail or succeed is up to you and if
you don't have enough drive and you
don't have enough dr
of a dream to get yourself going and
keep yourself going through
the tough times through the times when
you want to get impatient
and be patient and push and keep going
and not give up
if you're not willing to push through
all that and you don't have the self
personal starting power to keep you
going the tenacity
the grit the drive the perseverance
to stick to it get another job my friend
go get a real job get it there's no
there's no shame in that there's no
failure in that
but real estate is probably not for you
okay now should i become a real estate
agent yes
if if you are willing to
work hard if you are willing to be
patient and know it's going to take time
to get yourself going and
make money now you can make a lot of
money you can make six figures in your
first 12 months i've coached agents to
make
200 300 and one nearly 400
000 in their rookie year you can make a
lot of money but you
got to go in and come in with patience
so if you are patient if you are willing
to take
coaching and mentorship and training if
you are willing to push through the
disappointments
push through the failure push through
those moments where you feel discouraged
and not sure
what to do next if you're willing to
push through that and have the
commitment and the drive to win
no matter what then real estate might be
for you and
if you are willing to push yourself and
you got a dream
and you got to drive and you got to
hunger that nobody needs to push you
you show up and you say what do i do
next and you're the one that goes out
and makes things happen there is not a
better career path on the planet and
people ask well what about right now
is now a good time to get in real estate
and the answer is absolutely yes there
are going to be such
amazing opportunities out there they're
out there right now and those
opportunities are only going to get
bigger
with all the craziness and the chaos
that is happening in our country right
now and our world
and what's going to continue to happen
in the housing market there are going to
be massive opportunities for a real
estate agent who knows
what to do and is willing to do it and
not
be like any one of those five things now
