The biggest mistake you can make in real estate is not taking action.

A would-be buyer or seller starts taking steps to enter the real estate market, but then they begin double-thinking everything. They wonder, “What if home values will be higher next year?” or “What if interest rates will go down in a couple of years?” repeatedly.

They get stuck in the loop of analysis paralysis and end up not taking any action at all.

Don’t let that happen to you!

Here are 8 new things to try this year.

1. Cook more - Pick one night a week to cook your favorite dish.
2. Learn a new skill - Download babble and try a new language or look up some courses on LinkedIn Learning.
3. Saying No - No is a complete sentence, and you don't owe an explanation to anyone.
4. Be kind to yourself - Look at yourself in the mirror at least once a day and compliment yourself.
5. Asking for help - Don't let your pride keep you from reaching out when you need to. Being able to help the people you care about is one of life's greatest blessings.
6. Stop comparing yourself to others - You don't know what someone had to go through to get where they are today. Focus on your own journey.
7. Be conscious of others' feelings - Remember your words have power, so use them wisely and with kindness.
8. Be more mindful of the environment - Start recycling or create a compost pile in your backyard.
