On May 6, 1954 Roger Bannister did what practically everyone said couldn\u2019t be done: that a human could run a mile in less than four minutes. His time: 3 minutes 59.4 seconds.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s interesting about this story is that since that date, more than a dozen men have gone on to run the sub-four-minute mile. In fact, just 46 days after Bannister broke the four-minute barrier, on 21 June in Finland, John Landy of Australia broke Bannister\u2019s record by a second and a half. Today, the record stands at 3:43.13 minutes \u2013 nearly 18 seconds have been shaved off the record.<\/p>\n

There are two lessons you should take from Bannister\u2019s story:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Bannister turned a deaf ear to the naysayers.<\/strong> It took him nine years of hard work with plenty of defeats and setbacks, but he kept putting one foot in front of the other until he did it. In fact, it was failure at the 1952 Olympics (where he finished a dismal fourth) that spurred Bannister to break the four-minute barrier. Are you giving too much credence to those around you who say you can\u2019t do something? Think about it.<\/li>\n
  2. Write down and keep this second lesson on or near your desk: Your whole life changes once you make a commitment<\/strong>. After that failure at the Olympics, Bannister did one simple thing that put him on the path to breaking the four-minute barrier: He made a commitment. He committed to what he needed to do reach his goal.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Is it easy? Bannister admitted it wasn\u2019t for him. Here\u2019s what he shared about the process: “Those who can drive themselves further once the effort gets painful are the people who will win.” But he also added this after breaking the four-minute mile: “No longer conscious of my movement, I discovered a new unity with nature. I had found a new source of power and beauty, a source I never dreamt existed.”<\/p>\n

    We\u2019ve seen this time and time again with our clients after they truly commit to their real estate goals. Good things start happening, “a new source of power” appears.<\/p>\n

    For 2013, we invite you to define your own sub-four-minute-mile: The goal that might seem impossible but that if you reached it, could change your life. Is it to sell 100 homes? 200? More? Less? You choose. Make it a good one. But don\u2019t forget the most important part \u2013 make the commitment to put all \u2013 and I mean all \u2013 of your energy into achieving the goal.<\/p>\n

    We have an article I\u2019m happy to send you free of charge called, \u201cChanging breakdowns into breakthroughs\u201d that gets to the heart of achieving more success in real estate sales. Just shoot us an e-mail at SuccessTeam@CorcoranCoaching.com<\/a> and we\u2019ll send it along to you.<\/p>\n

    We\u2019ll leave you with a quote from Bannister: “Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must outrun the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve. It doesn\u2019t matter whether you\u2019re a lion or a gazelle\u2013when the sun comes up, you\u2019d better be running.”<\/p>\n

    We want to hear from you. Have you defined your own four-minute mile \u2013 that goal that people might snicker at if they heard you talk about it? What hurdle is keeping you from reaching your sub-four-minute mile? Is it your own beliefs? Is it what others say? What actions (or inactions) have been keeping you from achieving your potential? What actions might you start taking today that will put you closer to your goals in real estate?<\/p>\n
