Commit to finding your "why"

Erik came to the United States with a pocket full of dreams from Ireland and had one goal to achieve the “American Dream.” He was coming to a land where he didn’t have any family or friends, nothing with him except $500 in his back pocket, and an apartment waiting for him in Bar Harbor, ME. However, despite the obstacles he was about to face, it did not deter him from becoming successful.

He was determined to become an entrepreneur. He tapped into his greatest strengths, relationship building and helping others, which is why he chose to partner with Remax in the Greater Boston area. He also knew he wanted to help others achieve their “American Dream” as he was on the path to living his. He did this by staying disciplined, ambitious, and being strategic. Below, Erik provided some tips on how to stay motivated.

Maintain a Healthy Routine

Erik: We all have the same 24 hours; it’s what you do with that time that counts. For me, I stick to a regimented schedule:

🏋️ 4 am: Exercise and meditate
📖 6 am: Read
🗓️ 7 am: Plan my day with the team
📞 8-12 pm: Prospect
🏡 1-6 pm: Appointments

Never Stop Learning

Erik: I make it a point to learn something new every day, whether that’s through reading, listening to podcasts, or connecting with others. The most successful people see learning as an opportunity to better themselves professionally and personally. Some books and podcasts I recommend are:

📚 Books: 

No Excuses by Brian Tracy
10x by Grant Cardone
Superhuman by Dave Asprey

🎙️ Podcasts: 

Biggerpockets Daily - Brandon Turner
The Brian Buffini Show - Brian Buffini
Start with a Win - Adam Contos CEO RE/MAX

Have a Purpose

Erik: I came here from Ireland in my early 30’s with nothing except $500, so to be able to work for Remax, have my own business, and help others achieve the American dream through homeownership is what drives me to be successful. I also love the unlimited opportunity and potential that come with being a real estate agent.
