Year end of work and thoughts
time for christmas and going through last year's partial business plan. This year has been over all a good year. I have had some struggles at work and home but through faith and pure will you find a way to make it work.
With lots of changes at work this year I had alot of adjustments to make:
Becoming A Team
This year my husband joined me to be a team and that is going well. I did find a business plan in your head of how you do things does not translate well to others. Soo i am doing a full plan and purging what does not work and setting up better systems where i feel i could use some work.
I have heard alot of people say sellers are not happy anymore, this is true however in this time is where i feel our service needs to be stepped up a couple of knotches. I was not so good in this area this year, next year though watch out. With the systems i am putting in place that i will actually use i will be a great force in the field.
Change in Brokers
We had a change in brokers in our office this year, it is a good thing do not get me wrong, It happened to be someone i would call a friend. With our previous broker i just had that safe feeling no matter what I did I had someone in my corner that understood me and gave me pep when i needed it to strive. Our new broker is great he is very different from what I am used to and from my personality that was the adjustment. I do not feel the same as I did. However looking back at how I feel now versus then it is like a child leaving home, my other broker taught me everything i know as a rookie he gave me confidence in myself and my abilities that i can strive. Just like every child leaves a parent it is time to take what he gave and go on my own to spread my wings and fly.
I feel now I am ready to do this and our new broker has alot to teach as well, we are very different people in so many ways. I could learn alot in this stage of my career and business aspect from him. Our market is strong and I feel we have a great year.
Personal
On the home front things are now coming full circle. My oldest son went to the military academy as things were not so good here, he got into alot trouble some of which we are still dealing with but getting better. my great aunt had cancer and is now in the clear however is at the last stage of heart disease. My ex mother in law is going through chemo for ovarion cancer. We lost a cousin this year to lung cancer. To top it off my mom is sick.
My find in faith and the church I now attend has given great comfort as I have no one outside of my family to talk with. I still do not talk about things at church but I do feel relief and that it will work out in the way it destined to.
Growth
This year I feel I have grown the most personally, spiritally and in business. I have a better outlook and attitude well I had to or i would fall apart. But i did not instead I had a great year in business and our family through lots of fighting and ending in love have grown closer than ever before. I have found we have a choice on how we let ourselves handle what is dealt to us we can fall and stay there or by one of my favorite singers Rascal Flatts we can be strong and stand. I look forward to great year in business and home.
