Part 1/4 Series: how to break bad habits and start prospecting today Here's what's clear. Bad habits interrupt your real estate business and prevent you from prospecting consistently. So why do we still do them? And most importantly, is there anything you can do about it? How can you remove your destructive behaviors and stick to good ones instead? I certainly don't have all of the answers but keep reading, and I'll share part one of four of what I've learned about how to break a bad habit. What causes bad habits? Most of your bad habits are caused by two things. Anxiety and boredom. Most of the time, bad habits are simply a way of dealing with stress and boredom. Everything from watching to much tv to overspending on a shopping spree to playing with your hair to wasting time on the internet can be a simple response to stress and boredom. But it doesn't have to be that way. You can teach yourself new and healthy ways to deal with anxiety and boredom, which you can substitute in place of your bad habits. How to break a bad habit Here is the first of 4 ideas for breaking your bad habits. Choose a substitute for your bad habit. You need to plan ahead of time to respond when you face the anxiety or boredom that prompts your bad habit. What are you going to do when you get the urge to do something other than prospect? (Example: breathing exercises instead.) What are you going to do when Facebook or Instagram is calling to you to procrastinate? (Example: listen to motivating music.) Whatever it is and whatever you're dealing with, you need to have a plan for what you will do instead of your bad habit. Breaking bad habits takes time and effort, but mostly it takes perseverance. Most people who end up breaking bad habits try and fail multiple times before they make it work. You might not have success right away, but that doesn't mean you can't have it at all. Building habits takes time, and by implementing the 4 strategies I will be providing over the next 4 weeks will help you prospect the way you know you should. --------------------- Listen to full episode www.how2guys.com/podcast This episode is sponsored by our MORNING ROUTINE PROGRAM .... which provides you with 3 EASY steps to dominate your morning (Grab it ?
