In this episode of Realty Chatter Daily: Quick Wins for Realtors, Gary McGowan breaks down the sneaky ways fear holds you back in real estate—whether it’s avoiding follow-ups, hesitating to raise your prices, or overthinking your marketing. The truth? Fear doesn’t go away, but successful agents act anyway. If you’re ready to stop letting fear control your business, this episode is for you.
Today’s Quick Win:
Face fear head-on with these three steps:
1. Do It Scared: If something makes you nervous, that’s usually a sign it’s important.
2. Stop Aiming for Perfect: Take messy action—it’s better than no action at all.
3. Reframe Fear: Instead of thinking, ‘What if I fail?’ ask, ‘What if this actually works?’
Key Takeaways:
1. Fear Shows Up as Excuses: Procrastination, over-preparing, or avoiding tasks? That’s fear in disguise.
2. Messy Action Beats No Action: No one succeeds by waiting to be ‘ready’—just start.
3. Fear Loses Power When You Move: The best way to overcome fear is to take action despite it.
Quote of the Day:
“Fear is a terrible business partner, and it never pays rent.”

How to start letting fear make your decisions and start taking action that actually moves your business forward. Here's the insight. Fear is sneaky. It doesn't always show up as full blown panic.
