The core concept of "controlling the controllables" might appear self-evident, yet it often remains overlooked in the real estate industry, where external influences can sometimes seem overpowering.
“Consider how you can control your controllables, because the best thing for all of us is that we happen to be in an industry where we're in the driver's seat,” said Lord Mayor Basil Zempilas.
“Change, success, promotion; the ability to do great things comes from within us.”
In today's intricate landscape, it's tempting to be sidetracked by factors beyond our control; what truly matters is how we respond and adapt.
Given the importance of adaptability in the real estate sector, events like the Evoke conference serve as crucial platforms for discussion and strategy development.
The event, held in August at Frasers Kings Park, brought together eminent figures in the West Australian property landscape, such as REIWA CEO Cath Hart, Property Council Executive Director Sandra Brewer, and Sue Arena from property technology giant MRI software.
In his keynote, Zempilas also stressed the importance of taking time to acknowledge and celebrate accomplishments within an organisation.
“I think the ability to celebrate one's organisation, to remind yourself where you are, and to recognise those stakeholders that contribute to making your organisation the great place that it is, is so important,” he said
“You have to be able to celebrate those great moments, to revel in each other's success, share it, and make the most of those moments that come along.”
In an industry where the focus often shifts swiftly from one deal to the next, from one meeting to another, and from one challenge to the next opportunity, taking the time to pause and celebrate your victories is often overlooked.
Realmark understands that each victory, whether significant or small, deserves recognition and celebration.
The insights shared during the Evoke 2023 conference shed light on the pivotal elements that can often make or break success in the real estate sector.
Understanding what can be controlled and focusing on those aspects can pave the way for a more resilient and adaptive industry.
