It’s no secret that the best way to get really good at something is to practice a lot, and real estate is no exception. Matt and Garrett are often asked how they and Larry are able to demonstrate the many aspects of the Ninja system so effortlessly and effectively, and the answer is simple – they have been doing it so often and for so long that they are very well practiced in bringing them to life. Today, they take the time to share the importance of incorporating practice time into your business along with some tips they have picked up along the way about how to make it as productive as possible.
They begin by looking at the value of committing to set aside regular time for practice, and some Ninja set plays that can be practiced, as well as how to practice them. They also explore engaging with a skills group, some key recommendations to implement when doing so, and the many situations that can be practiced in these groups. They finish up by offering some immediate steps you can take, highlighting the fact that practice doesn’t necessarily need feedback, especially when just starting out. In so many areas of life, practice plays a more valuable role than talent in achieving success, a point which our hosts effectively drive home in today’s highly informative episode.
