From Stuck To Starting – How New Agents Can Build Momentum With Simple Daily Habits

Hey there, future real estate rockstars! Starting your journey in real estate is like stepping into a thrilling new adventure. But let’s be real—it can also feel a bit like standing at the foot of a mountain, unsure of how to climb it. With so much to learn, tools to master, and connections to make, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and stuck before you even get going.

At LGI, we believe that success isn’t about doing everything at once; it’s about taking small, consistent steps that build momentum. And here’s a crucial tip: as you embark on this journey, it’s always wise to have some savings set aside. Like any career, building a successful real estate business takes time, and it rarely happens overnight. Having a financial cushion can give you the peace of mind to focus on growing your skills and connections without the added stress.

If you’re feeling a bit lost, don’t worry! First things first, kick off each day with a quick 10-minute power plan. Grab your coffee, take a deep breath, and jot down your top three priorities for the day. Ask yourself: What are the three most important things I can do today to grow my business? Whether it’s following up with leads, crafting a social media post, or checking out new listings in your local MLS, clarity is key. Remember, you’re in charge of your day—don’t let it run you!

Next up, let’s talk about connections. Real estate is all about relationships, so aim to reach out to five people every day. This could be past clients, friends or family who might know someone looking to buy or sell, or new contacts you’ve met through social media or networking events. The more conversations you have, the more opportunities will come your way. It’s a contact sport, after all!

Now, let’s fuel that brain of yours! Dedicate just 15 minutes each day to learning something new. It could be a podcast episode, a training module from LGI, or a quick video on negotiation tips. You don’t need to know everything right away, but staying curious and committed to learning will boost your confidence and skills.

And don’t forget about your social media presence! Think of it as your storefront. Make it a habit to post or engage with your audience daily. Share behind-the-scenes glimpses of your work, provide market updates, or drop a quick tip from your real estate journey. Remember, done is better than perfect—your consistency will help you stand out and build visibility.

Finally, take a moment to reflect and reset at the end of each day. Spend five minutes reviewing what you accomplished, what worked well, and what you can improve tomorrow. Small adjustments can lead to powerful shifts over time, so embrace this practice!

You don’t need a flawless plan or a massive following to get started. All you need is the willingness to take small, intentional steps every day. At LGI, we’re here to support you, guide you, and walk alongside you as you grow into the agent—and leader—you were meant to be. 

So, are you ready to take that next step? Let’s make your real estate dreams a reality!
