New agents: When should you start lead generating? You can’t start yet, can you? (Read on…..)
You’re a new agent, and you feel you need to do all kinds of things before you actually start talking to people. I know. You’re scared spitless to start actually selling real estate. So, instead, you do all the other ‘stuff’ that keeps you out of trouble–that is, away from clients! That other stuff includes:
Paperwork
Blogging
Social networking (do some of those people do anything else?!)
Going to classes (you just have to know everything before you talk to a person, don’t you?)
And, the very worst, I think, looking at pretty houses (without a client in mind).

False Confidence from Getting Ready to Get Ready
The problem about thinking you are getting confidence from all the Support Activities I listed above is that they don’t really make you confident. You just think you are getting somewhere for a short period of time.
99% of learning comes from doing, not watching, not hearing, and not reading.
Do it and you will gain confidence and competence. What are you waiting for? When are you going to start talking to people with purpose–so you can make money?
