The main thing is hype. Eyes should always be open for the volumes of hype in the industry. It doesn't matter what brand, or what tools, or how you generate leads, there will always be brainwashers out there trying to convince change.
I am a RE/MAX broker-owner. My model isn't for everyone. People don't work the same.
A real estate licensee, in order to be successful, must be constantly probing. Constantly prospecting, always seeking new business.
Education is a must. Training is for monkeys, seals, and dogs, education allows individuals to react to what's never happened before.
Just because John is successful in his model, it doesn't mean Jane can do the same thing.
One must always watch out for back stabbers too. This industry is noted for the number of people with a knife and using it while giving hugs. This should not indict the industry, but there are enough bad apples that a newbie must just keep their radars turned on.
