“It takes 100 repetitions to become familiar with any new concept, technique, or idea. It takes 1,000 repetitions to become competent. It takes 5,000 repetitions to become skilled. It takes 10,000 repetitions to become gifted. But the 10,001st repetition will suddenly start to open doors. Your gift will make room for you. So my advice to you: get started.”
– Carl Prude Jr.
Now, while I’ve far exceeded 100 videos, I’m nowhere near 10,000 and that’s okay. Because mastery isn’t built overnight; it’s built through showing up again and again, one imperfect repetition at a time.
As a Flower Mound real estate expert, I see it every day. Whether it’s writing offers, filming videos, or building relationships…the only way to get better is to start.
The Best Time to Start Was Yesterday. The Next Best Time Is Today!
We’ve all put off something that we don’t want to do – the workout, the marketing plan, the video, the tough phone call.But here’s the truth: waiting doesn’t make it easier. Starting does.
When you tackle the thing you’ve been avoiding, you’re not just crossing it off your list, you’re building momentum. And momentum compounds.
If you do it once, you’ll do it again.
And before you know it, you’re not just familiar, you’re becoming gifted!
Small Efforts Add Up to Big Breakthroughs
Repetition is the quiet builder of confidence.
In DFW real estate (and in life), the people who win aren’t necessarily the most talented, they’re the most consistent. They keep showing up even when it’s uncomfortable, awkward, or inconvenient.
So if there’s something you’ve been hesitating to do, today’s the day.
Post the video. Make the call. Start the system.
You never know how many new opportunities are waiting on the other side of one small action.
Client Testimonial — Progress in Action
“There are no words to express our gratitude but let me try. You went from a realtor recommended to us, to a lifesaver real quick. As we started what we thought was going to be a fun but crazy adventure of selling and building into selling while building and all of a sudden being hit with our sweet boy having seizures. That took priority in this mama’s heart and mind and time…. With a ton of Dr. appointments to keep straight. So to have someone not just tell you but to create this A-team of support to list things out, remind us of next steps and take the burden of the house side away as much as possible is a gift beyond belief.”
— Rachael Huffman
3 Ways to Embrace Repetition in Your Business
- Create consistency rituals. Schedule your lead gen, video shoots, or client follow-ups at the same time each week.
- Focus on progress, not perfection. Every repetition improves your skill, even the ones that flop.
- Celebrate small wins. Every “today” adds up to tomorrow’s success story.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What if I’m scared to start something new?
Feel the fear and face it anyway. Courage doesn’t mean not feeling fear, it means moving forward despite it. Do it tired. Do it scared. As Nike says, “Just Do It!”
2. How do I stay consistent when I don’t see results?
Focus on discipline, not motivation. Motivation is what gets you started, but habit keeps you going. Results follow effort, but momentum only builds when you keep showing up.
3. How can repetition help in real estate?
Everything from negotiations to marketing improves with practice. Repetition builds confidence, trust, and expertise.
