It’s not hours worked. It’s hours worked productively. That means actually talking to someone or creating a opportunity to talk to someone. You can spend all day playing with your computer but if you don’t actualy talk to someone you wont be in that top 20%.

The more things change, the more they will stay the same. The 20% rule will likely be around to stay. I agree with everyone that its definitely worth noting the number of hours worked by the rich vs the poor. Also taking into account the number of hours they may outsource to assistants and others.

I agree, I think weekly time invested should be noted as well. How much time do they put into their site/blogging? Also, how many do cold calls to expired listings or FSBOs? Otherwise, I think it’s a great analysis between successful and unsuccessful agents.

[...] LinkedIn, YouTube, and ActiveRain – all of these (and now Google+) are being utilized by successful real estate professionals. The question is, how do you know what works best for you and what you should focus your energies [...]

Great information. It’s funny how the 20% rule is always relevant. I think John’s comment about the hours worked is worth noting. Many agents who make less than 40k a year do not work full time. If an agent puts in their 40 hrs they will make a good living.
