Success Clues:

1. A good attitude is critical: Cultivate a positive mindset to succeed in real estate.
2. Be open to feedback: You need to be able to listen to experienced agents and take their advice. Ask questions if you need help understanding something.
3. Mindset is essential: Most agents fail within the first two years, often due to a lack of the right attitude.
4. Financial preparedness: You need to either have someone supporting you financially or have six months of savings to fall back on, as it may take a while to start earning a decent income.
5. Support from others: Finding a mentor or someone who can support you is essential for success in real estate.
6. Importance of the right ingredients: A good attitude and feedback are the foundation for success, like the broth in soup. The agents and staff are like added ingredients that make the industry thrive.
