Are You Really Trying, or Just Going Through Familiar Motions?

Be the Solution with Maria Quattrone

Have you ever asked yourself if you're really trying, or just going through familiar motions? This question transformed my business when I realized what I thought was "maximum effort" was actually just my comfortable routine.
The evidence was undeniable. Halfway through March, I'd already secured 60 listing appointments—shattering my previous monthly record of 42. This breakthrough wasn't about working harder in the traditional sense—it came from honest self-assessment and strategic reallocation of energy. Even with these remarkable results, I recognize there's still room to sharpen my skills further.
The power lies in applying the 80/20 principle with ruthless focus. When we recognize that 20% of our efforts drive 80% of our results, we can transform our productivity by expanding that critical 20% while eliminating activities that don't meaningfully contribute to success. This shift doesn't just change business outcomes—it impacts our families, personal goals, and overall quality of life.
What makes this approach sustainable is the virtuous cycle it creates: achievement builds confidence, which fuels motivation for further growth. The journey of continuous improvement gives us hope—the essential ingredient that keeps us moving forward. Take a moment today for honest self-reflection: Are you genuinely pushing your boundaries, or simply maintaining your usual pace? Your answer might reveal untapped potential that could completely transform your results.

🔑 Key Takeaways:

• True growth requires honest self-reflection.
