If you’ve been in real estate for a number of years, then you already understand that a career in real estate is similar to running a marathon, and not a sprint. And if you’re brand new, and you haven’t heard this before, then please pay attention.

- Once you’ve been able to consistently complete the new task in your schedule then add another.
#4. Find an accountability partner
