Selling the Dream: A Podcast for Resort & 2nd Home Real Estate Agents
Ep. 167: Jason Whittle Goes from Professional Athlete to Real Estate Superstar
Ever compare yourself to a professional athlete? That might feel silly at first.
But then, you really dig into what it takes to be a professional athlete. Here’s just a few of the skills they develop, both on and off the field:
-
Determination
-
Consistency
-
Hard work
-
Teamwork
Those sound like skills you need to succeed in business, don’t you think?
Just like an athlete needs to train to be exceptional on the field, we have to train to be leaders in our industry!
It’s never “easy” to do what we do, no matter what anyone says! It takes hard work and hours of discipline and practice, refining our skills and building the best team possible!
This week on the Selling the Dream podcast, I’m talking to Jason Whittle, 11 year NFL veteran. When he retired from professional sports, he decided it was time to jump into the world of real estate!
