Is your business like Kim Kardashian’s marriage?
Even if you don’t follow gossip or tabloids, or don’t watch news it’s hard to not hear about Kim Kardashian’s marriage to NBA basketball player somename or the other, (I don’t follow gossip or watch the news. Sorry I don’t know his name) only lasted 72 days.
Only 72 days! That’s sad. 
If I had to guess at why this marriage didn’t work, I would say they were probably more in love with the idea of being married to each other, than actually in love with other.
And its not unlike many strategies and plans I see real estate agents do.
- You start something….and 72 days later, it’s over.
- You start a Facebook page…72 days later, is it still being updated?
- You launch a blog…72 days later, are you still creating content?
- You start doing video…72 days later, are you still doing video?
If I had to guess why this it, I would say you are more in love with the idea; than you are with the implementing and seeing it connected and succeeding with an overall strategy.
Here is the take away advice from today,
- Don’t marry a reality star you are not really in love with.
- Don’t marry an NBA player you are not really in love with.
- Don’t fall in love with ideas or tactics.
Develop a strategy that you love and then find ideas and tactics that be connected and aligned that stategy.

The strategy, ideas and tactics part not the marrying a reality star or NBA player part.
"If you aren't getting Darin's daily email, you are missing out." -- Chris Smith, Inman News Chief Evangelist
I wanted to start to build a team and with Darin's coaching I have added 2 full
time buyers agents and a virtual assistant. We are getting so organized
and now I am able to prospect for listings like I should have been doing
before.
Darin is a KICK ASS coach, motivator and a genius. Yes, he has a mind that is incredible.
I feel that Darin is vested in my success both personally and professionally. He is a dear friend and I am excited we are now partners.

“Have I told you lately that you’re the greatest thing since sliced cheese? And that at least every other day Matt and I tell each other out loud about how grateful we are to have found you?
You’re a true blessing and are helping us like no other coach to make impactful changes within our business, at a pace that makes sense. And you ‘GET’ technology, too! Coach D, you’re a dream come true. “

"I have been working with Darin for 10 weeks now, I was looking for a way to take my business to another level going into my second full year of real estate. I closed 32 deals in 2011 and so far with the help, guidance and motivation I am on pace to double my transactions in 2012. The most exciting part about working with Darin is I am able to increase my production without adding hours to my week, Darin has taught me how to leverage my time and use it more efficiently. If you are serious about taking your real estate career to a new level, it is a MUST to start working with Darin Persinger as soon as you possibly can." - Ryan Shields
