Yesterday, Christmas day, I spent flat on my back reading a book for the 3rd time. Christmas was the day before for my family so I spent the day doing nothing. It was great. We call it a PJ day around here.
The book I choose to read, again, was
by Andy Andrews. This book had
such a change on my outlook that I've decided it's one that will say with me forever. I won't loan it out.
Even though this book is for determining personal success it has effected the way that I do business.
His Seven Decisions and how they have changed my business
1. The buck stops here. I am responsible for my past and my future.
The mistakes that I've made marketing to realtors that don't get it (staging) is my mistake and I won't go it again. I can't change them. My future is working with those who know and understand the benefits of Stage-Show-Sell, LLC
2. I will seek wisdom. I will be the a servant to others.
We at Stage-Show-Sell, LLC will volunteer to help others that need my service. I will joing organizations that will help me grown personally and business.
3. I am a person of action. I seize this moment. I choose now.
No more putting things on the back burner. Do more saying I'll do that tomorrow. Today is the day to begin any project whether it's joining a new networking group or cleaning my closet.
In 2009 we joined two new networking groups that are great.
4. I have a decided heart. My destiny is assured.
Stage-Show-Sell, LLC will continue to grow in 2010 just as it did in 2009. I know and feel the future.
5. Today I will choose to be happy. I am the possessor of a grateful spirit.
Many years ago I was overcome with the negative things of life and business. I was a realtor at the time and some how got into the DRAMA of the business. All the realtors out there know what I mean. I choose to find everything a leaning experience and not let the problems of day drag me down.
My business picked up.
My life, because of dying parents, was dragging me down emotionally and physically.
I choose to be happy and enjoy the days that were left and not on what will be lost.
6. I will greet this day with a forgiving spirit. I will forgive myself.
Everyone has 'baggage' from the past. Get over it. I've learned to forgive myself and learn from the past.
I've learned that others aren't upset with me as I thought. Why should I be upset with myself.
I will forgive those who don't believe in Staging. I don't need to carry the burden and frustration. We can help only those who want to be helped.
7. I will persist without exception. I am a person of great faith.
I believe in me and my business. I know what I do makes a difference.
Staging works and the more I "think it" the more it will happen. My PMA ( positive mental attitude) will win.
All the homes that I have staged in 2009 have had an offer on them within two weeks of staging EXCEPT the ones that the sellers didn't co-operate with the agents and price their homes right.
So there will be No New Years Resolutions for me I will continue on the path that I've been on.
