Weekly Tip - Additional Goal Setting Advice. |
|
No, I am no guru, just someone that likes sharing information. So, here's some free advice from me on setting your goals for next year. 1. Write down the things that you do well and that you like to do if they are contributing to your success and spend more time on those. You'll be more successful if you work on the things that are fun for you and you'll be happier too! 2. Be honest with yourself on #1 because if the things you are presently doing are not helping your business, you really need to stop doing them so much. But, maybe you can have your cake and eat it too by working these things in with other things that you do not like to do so much. Try this and quickly see if it is working for your business. 3. Look around you and see what others are doing that they are having much success with. Think about talking to other realtors, maybe in other markets for tips and advice and maybe set up a referral relationship with them too. 4. Work smarter, not harder. Use automation and the Internet more to help with prospecting and networking. Call me if I can help you with these. Remember that 80% of buyers are shopping on the web first and this number will continue to grow. Also, the buyers not as Internet savvy are probably the ones that are the hardest to close so get on the web fast! Think how easy it is to communicate through email vs snail mail... 5. Try to spend more time on your physical health and mental health by exercising your body and mind. This year, I did absolutely nothing on maintaining a healthier body and I am going to change that. Hopefully, if you are neglecting your body, you will too. For your mind, read books and listen to tapes and read my blogs! I get most of my material from the web and Active Rain so can you. 6. Spend more time with your family and friends. Think about the motivational story about the man that visualizes the funeral and what the family and friends are saying about the deceased member and then seeing that it was him in the casket. This will wake you up like it did Ebenezer Scrooge in "The Christmas Carol". I am falling way behind in this category and will make some changes for next year. 7. Set weekly action goals with things that you can control and spend Fridays making up with any shortcomings you may have had during the week. If you'll do these things, the monetary goals you set for yourself will take care of themselves. *. Stick with the service providers that can make your job easier like me! I had to throw in this sales pitch!!
