Difficulty: Moderate

1. Get smart. Take every opportunity possible to educate yourself via your office, your local board, educational institutions, books and DVDs. Know your market and be an expert in your field and success will naturally follow.
2. Keep moving. Focus on what you do each day to get closer to your bottom line and let go of the results. If you're working hard, you'll stay in business. If you find yourself losing motivation, seek out a mentor or invest in activities that feed your soul and keep you meeting new people.
3. Ignore the hype. Buyers market, sellers market, soft market, spring market—be knowledgeable but refuse to stereotype the market or yourself. There will always be people who need to buy and sell right now. Those are the people you should seek out, and they are always out there, so go get 'em!
4. Get proactive. Anticipate the upcoming market changes and figure out what you and only you can bring to it. Know going in what your plan of attack will be to stay ahead of the competition.
5. Stay flexible. The real estate industry changes from one minute to the next, and so should you. Don't be afraid to try new things or seek out a new client base.
6. Keep an expansive, big picture view. It's easy to get mired in the little details, but to make profits in any real estate market keep your eye on the prize and keep growing yourself to grow your business.
