Lessons from the music industry to working in real estate Living in gratitude Appreciate the things in your life that make you feel blessed and lucky. Get out of bed with an eagerness to work hard and to be of service. Do not let self-doubt dictate how you go about your business. Beginnings of a music career Peter used music as an escape from gangs, crime, and fighting. From classical music, Peter moved into the nightclub scene and worked his way into becoming a record producer Working in the music industry taught Peter how to treat people respectfully. It translated very well into his real estate career. Fear is a cunning, baffling and crippling foe. Do not let it keep you from going at your goals. From sex, drugs and rock & roll to sparkling water and open houses Living a life of excess weighs heavy on you. Realising where you are and where you want to be in the future is crucial to your ability to change your life’s direction. Leave your ego out the door. Grind it out and learn your new craft. Keep your eyes on your goals. For Peter, it was starting his own firm and pulling the levers behind the curtains. Punk rock real estate Do not hesitate to break away from traditional real estate marketing. Work with the people you want to work with; do not attempt to fit in. Sell trust. Build a good relationship with people drawn to your style. Own your space in the market and dig deep. Do not get bothered by everything going around your space. Capture your target audience with social media Customise your content to suit the communities you intend to reach. Use digital platforms to get yourself in front of your target clients. Build relationships and keep them alive on and off social media. You can tailor your online presence to show the various facets of your personality. Prospect your database rather than rely on online leads. The 666 rule The 666 Rule refers to 6 emails, 6 text messages, and 6 DMs a day. Categorise your leads based on how well you know them. Peter recommends 18 touches a day per category. Do not be affected by the results. Divorce yourself from expectations and keep doing the job. The boomerang effect The more you put into your marketing, the more it will return multiples. Remain in action and work as hard as you can. Craft your individuality through marketing and increase your digital footprint.
