A mentor of mine said to me “agents aim for nothing and hit it with amazing success!” 2020 is wrapping up and what did you aim for? What did you hit? It is the perfect time of year to aim for something in 2021 and hit it with amazing success! So when 2020 begins to wind down you should not wait until the very end to start planning for 2021. This means having a crystal clear understanding of the successes and challenges of your current year, how it impacts your upcoming year, and developing a vision of what you want to accomplish, and how. Many agents aim for nothing every year and most hit it with amazing accuracy!!

We know it boils down to implementation and execution of specific activities done over time with consistency that creates the long term massive success we all want.

 

#9 A Lost Art In Real Estate Sales – The Hand Written Note

Personal gestures are meaningful and memorable and right at the top of personal gestures sit hand written notes.

Always send a card or note when you are reminded of a person. So many sales professionals including myself think right away well that sounds nice, but I am too busy.

 

#10 An Agents Most Precious Commodity

realtor time wasters

Once, a king and a lazy man named Haria were very good friends. One morning, the king said, “Why don’t you do work to earn some money?” Haria said, “No one gives me job. My enemies told everyone that I never do any work in time.” The kind king said, “You can go into my treasury and collect as much wealth as you can, till sunset.” Haria rushed home to tell this to his wife. She said, “Go and get the gold coins and gems now.” “I cannot go now. Give me lunch first.” After lunch, he took a nap for an hour. Then in the late afternoon, he picked some bags and went to the palace. On the way, he felt hot so he sat under a tree to rest. Then, two hours later, he got up to go but saw a man showing some magic tricks. He stopped to watch for an hour again. When he reached the palace it was already time for sunset. The palace gates had been shut. So Haria had lost a golden chance because he had not learnt the value of time.

Now the temptation at this point is to look at this list and say “ahhh none of these look all that ground breaking” or “I’ll get to it next week” BUT…. (this is me treading softly) if you want to BLAST past your year in 2013 it will require “hanging up” the excuses and taking action. We all have our fridges, bathroom mirrors and computer screens littered with awesome motivational quotes BUT nothing changes the “Bottom line” like action taking.

I challenge you this year to make the #1 item on your list to be to do the things you know you should be doing but have been procrastinating on implementing them.
