You’ve all heard about the importance of having a healthy ego. It’s seems difficult to imagine that anyone would ever dispute this. The confusion lies, however, in the characteristics that make one’s ego healthy versus one that is unhealthy.
Your Range Rover
Evidence of a healthy ego are one’s abiltiy to avoid defining themselves:
- By what they do
- By what they have
- By what others think about them
In other words, if you feel good about yourself because of the Range Rover that you drive, your ego probably needs an adjustment.
The Realtor’s Challenge
Another trait of a healthy ego is one’s desire to put another’s needs before theirs. That is the ultimate challenge for humans, and it’s no different for a realtor. The needs of one home seller or purchaser versus another’s are so diverse yet so similar. We give a myriad of advice to both, and we are always required to put the needs of our clients first.
Enormous Benefits
The benefits to our clients are enormous as we equip them with the necessary information to make the most prudent decisions about what is, to many, their most important commodity. Yet we also realize that we get by giving. Our reputation spreads like wildfire. Thus a healthy ego, whereby we are truly driven to guide and inform our clients with a vision that is thoroughly focused on their needs, adds to our esteem and bottom line as well as theirs.
