goal setting: You're At The Half Way Point of 2007! - 07/03/07 08:08 PM
Now that the first half of 2007 is over, how are you doing with your business goals so far? It's been another good year for some and a tough year for many, because as the market changed, not everyone changed with it.Why is that?It's all between your ears!  You make your own "economy" based on what you want to achieve and how muchyou stick to your business plan. Even if interest rates shot up to over 8%, there would still be plenty of homes to sell, but while many agents would fall out of the business, you can still go after your … (3 comments)

goal setting: Why Smaller Is Better - Part 2 - 06/09/07 06:10 PM
Take a moment to review my last post and this will tie the two together much easier.I write these "Agent Success Tips" LIVE and up to the minute and then I post them, but sometimes I have ideas that I've come up with earlier, so I write them down to remember them.Anyway, "on with the show" as they say.For example.......If you have an income goal of $250,000, but have never earned over $100,000, you need to figure outwhat you need to do more of and what you need to do less of.(Plug your own numbers in here.)Jumping from $10,000 per month to … (1 comments)

goal setting: Why Smaller Is Better - Part 1 - 06/07/07 08:57 AM
You might disagree with what I'm about to tell you and that's OK.Many "so -called experts" would think I'm wrong for thinking this way and I'm fine with that.But what I want to share with you can make a HUGE difference in your life.Even though it's one of the simplest things to do, it's also one of the toughest to do on a consistent basis. Not even I have mastered it.  I continue to work on getting better with it day by day.What am I talking about?You see, I used to "Think BIG".Now, there's nothing wrong with having a BIG VISION...something to strive … (6 comments)

goal setting: What Are Your Daily Thoughts? - 05/21/07 10:30 AM
The thoughts you think before dozing off to sleep at night - as well as the thoughts you think first thing in the morning, are extremely powerful.Yet, the average person is often unaware about what they think about during these very important time frames.What you say when you talk to yourself in the early morning sets the tone for how you will feel - and what results you will get - for the rest of the day.And what you think before you go to bed at night has a major influence upon what you will dream about - and how you … (1 comments)

goal setting: When Millionaires Talk, Are You Listening? - 04/06/07 02:56 PM
I recently listened to a 45 minute call, where 6 MILLIONAIRES were sharing their thoughts about what it takes to become a millionaire.The host of the call was John Assaraf.  He may be familiar to you, because he's been involved as Regional Director of RE/MAX of Indiana and also was co-owner of Bamboo.com before it was bought out by IPIX (a virtual tour product).  John is now a success coach in San Diego.  I met him awhile backat a local Barnes & Noble at a book signing.I took several pages of notes, writing as fast as I could to keep up.  I want to … (5 comments)

goal setting: Follow This Strategy For An Awesome April! - 03/28/07 10:54 PM
As the first quarter of 2007 comes to an end, are you on track to achieving your business goals for the quarter?  
Did you list as many houses as you thought you would?  Did you show homes to the number of buyers you expected to work with?   If you did, great!    If you didn't, don't beat yourself up about it.  Nobody hits their goals every time.  Million dollar baseball players only get 3 hits out of every 10 at-bats.  Just increase your at-bats.  
Look at this next quarter and re-evaluate your goals.  Set new goals for the quarter. … (5 comments)

goal setting: Relaxing Under A Palm Tree! - 03/26/07 10:06 AM
 
One single idea can change the focus of your life.
If you could be anywhere in the world, imagine yourself at your most peaceful place.
Your eyes are closed and your mind is calm.
"Imagine you are laying on a cushioned lounge chair under a palm tree at your favorite spot on a sandy-white beach at 3:00pm in the afternoon with the sun sparkling through the branches.  It's 82 degrees and you have your favorite drink.  All you can hear is the soft, gentle breaks in the ocean waves with the occasional sound of seagulls.  Your body is fully relaxed and your mind is … (1 comments)

goal setting: Are You On Track With Your 2007 Goals? - 03/07/07 03:37 PM
As the 1st quarter is almost coming to an end, are you on track to achieving your business goals?   Did you list as many houses as you thought you would?  Did you show homes to the number of buyers you expected to work with?   If you did, great!    If you didn't, don't beat yourself up about it.  Nobody hits their goals every time.  Million dollar baseball players only get 3 hits out of every 10 at-bats.  Just increase your at-bats.   Look at this next quarter and re-evaluate your goals.  Set new goals for the quarter. Better yet, set new goals only … (12 comments)

goal setting: What A Billionaire Says About Time! - 02/21/07 04:27 PM
I read this quote a while back and thought it was insightful! 
source: Nicolas Hayek, Cofounder & CEO of the Swatch Group, Biel-Benne, Switzerland"Time is both wonderful and horrible. It's wonderful, because it holds so much fantastic possibilities. It is my work and my life. I creat beautiful objects that measure time. If time didn't exist, then my profession wouldn't exist. I wouldn't have 42 watch plants. I wouldn't have built a company with $3 billion in sales. I wouldn't be a billionaire. And I wouldn't have given pleasure to the many people who have bought my watches." "Yet I hate time. … (4 comments)

goal setting: What Are You Focused On? - 02/06/07 03:33 PM
Are you focused?  
A better question may be: What are you focused on?  
Are you focused on: -  achieving your goals? -  watching your favorite TV show every week? -  just enjoying your life? -  helping others?  
There's no judgment being made here. Whatever you are focused on will happen.   'Lack of focus' can be dangerous.  Even if you aren't focused on something, change that and decide what it is you want to focus on.   Here's an idea that I recently heard about and it came from a story about Mr. Rockefeller and Mr. Schwab over 50 years ago.  … (1 comments)
