From paradigm-shifting technology to leadership shakeups to hotly contested court battles, it seems that 2023 is determined to keep making noise all the way through to the holiday season. Every time you feel like you’ve got your hands around one scandal or existential crisis, another one comes rolling along.
Obviously, it’s important to know what’s going on and to keep yourself up to date on the latest news. It’s vital to know what factors are going to impact the industry in general and your business in particular.

Now add to that the fact that, if you’re broadcasting all of that negativity to clients, colleagues, team members or agents at your brokerage, you’re affecting their ability to move forward in a proactive way.
It’s time to stop and do some self-evaluation in the midst of all the noise so that you can get your focus back where it belongs. Here’s how.
