What Is Your Level of Commitment?

My mentor and I have talked about how committed you are to whatever it is you are doing for a long time. When it comes to commitment, there are three levels of action you can take.

 

The first level is retreating. You are moving backward, not forward. Instead of improving the quality of your life, you are adopting certain habits or taking certain actions that cause you to move back.

 

The next level of action is simply the average level of action. This is the level most people operate at. You are simply doing what everyone else is doing. If the average real estate agent comes in at 10 o’clock, leaves at five o’clock, and closes four or five deals a year, that is all you are doing. You are not doing anything more than what is asked of you.

 

Napoleon Hill always said that the way to increase your pay is to always offer more than what you are currently being paid for. You are not going to make any more money operating at the average level of action.

 

If you want to earn more money, what are you doing to add more value to your current job? When you start adding responsibilities and services, then you are going to increase your self-worth in the company and move up.

 

 

The final and rarest level of action is also the most rewarding—the extreme or massive level of action. In this level, you are doing whatever it takes to move forward and get the job done. You are not complaining; you are focused on the end goal. That is the most powerful level of action.  

 

As a real estate agent, operating on this level of action means you are the first person on the phones each morning and the last one to leave at night. If a client has not answered your calls, you are going to their door and introducing yourself.

 

Whether you are a business owner, an employee, or a volunteer, what can you do to add more value and operate at the massive level of action?

 

Are you willing to do whatever it takes to get your career and your life to the next level?

 

I hope these questions help you evaluate what you are doing to improve your life and your career. If you have any real estate questions, please don’t hesitate to give me a call or send me an email. I would be happy to help you!
