When times get tough, it’s essential to focus on positive personal growth. Dwelling on negative news cycles or “what-if” scenarios can severely damage productivity and lower your spirits. The best way to move through uncertain times is to start adding learning back into your routine.
Once you do this, Buffini & Company Coach Scott Malcolm says the transformation is like night and day. You’ll wake up earlier, find more focus and actively take on challenges. Coach Scott compares this phenomenon to taking a daily multivitamin. “You don’t realize it’s working, but those activities are causing you to have more energy and more direction,” Coach Scott says.
Make it personal
This is why Buffini & Company coaches have always prioritized personal and professional development. Especially now, they coach clients to always leave room for growth, since many clients are busy getting things back to normal. “As the CEO of your company, you are responsible for giving yourself time to think,” Buffini & Company coach Mimi Throckmorton says. “Having the space to learn and grow requires time and requires creating that space.”
Oftentimes, clients tend to feel guilty taking that personal time when it feels like there are so many other things to worry about. Coach Michael Heater of Buffini & Company says they need to flip that script—before professionals can build others, they need to build themselves. “We empower clients to put themselves first so they can fearlessly serve others,” he says. “It’s good for you to take care of yourself first by growing and doing the things that fulfill you.”
Learn and grow
The coaches explain that learning and growth can take on many different forms. To improve their skills, some agents take online real estate agent training courses. For personal development, the coaches recommend motivational podcasts to keep spirits high. All Buffini & Company coaches work with their clients to schedule time for training and personal growth year-round so they are set up for success. “There’s a clear correlation between the books a client reads, the podcasts they listen to, the time they take to work on themselves, and the progress and success they find in their business,” Buffini & Company Coach Michael Heater says.
Learning is nonnegotiable when building a thriving business and maintaining a healthy lifestyle, according to Buffini & Company coaches. When you’re ready to go all-in and become a lifelong learner, get a coach, stay the course and break through to the next level.
