Focus is key and I believe that most new agents hear 100 ways to be successful and try them all, mastering none of them.
It's best done one step (bite) at a time!

There is no magic pill or short cut to success. So many new agents want instant success, instant sales and want to skip the learning part, the earning it part and the hard work, patience, consistency and persistence real estate needs.

Agreed. My sense is that many new agents do not realize what is involved in real estate or how to run a business. Many seasoned agents make it look easy. New agents don't know what goes into becoming a seasoned agent or why we make it look easy.

I like to get a big fire going and put chunks of elephant meat on their tusks and use that to roast the meat over the open fire.
No, I don't really hunt and kill elephants. Just wanted to go with something the opposite of philisophical.

Yes, I must agree, it is a DOUBLE FOUL situation.
The question is not well structured, but that is the hallmark of people new in any disapline.
The second foul is the responses to such questions.
