From the desk of 2019 RRC President Michael Burkhard, CRS
Spring is a time of renewal. It is a time of growth and optimism. It is a time to become more open to inviting change into our lives—both big and small.
Spring is also a time to begin reviewing the goals you have set for the new year and reflect on the progress you have made thus far. Are you completing your goals? Have you achieved much success? Have you encountered challenges? Have you missed the mark?
There was no better opportunity to begin that reflection process than at Sell-a-bration 2019—the premier annual conference in residential real estate. Sell-a-bration offers REALTORS® the chance to grow as professionals—to learn valuable new skills and to make connections that not only impact our futures, but that inspire change.
For those who attend Sell-a-bration, you will know that it is more than an annual conference. Sell-a-bration is a strategically planned event designed to help you step out of your comfort zone. It is a time to acquire new knowledge that is both practical and applicable. It is a time to reach out to others and encourage one another to improve. It is a time to share your expertise with fellow colleagues from across the country and around the world.
There are three key takeaways to impart from Sell-a-bration, and they are this: find the time to continuously learn; find the time to mentor a new colleague; and find the time to purposefully plan out your journey.
As you look forward to what lies ahead both personally and professionally, always remember that if you are not happy with the progress you have made—if there are people or obstacles preventing you from reaching the pinnacle of success—then now is the time to push that virtual reset button.
Now is the time to make a change.
