10 Ways To Be Successful in 2010...It's UP TO YOU!

Successful real estate transactions are an exciting and viable part of business. A homeowner sells their property and a homebuyer purchases the home they want at a good price and we, as residential real estate professionals, are rewarded for our efforts.

The following are some guidelines for goal-setting that have helped me in the past and will continue to be my guide for the coming New Year as well.

  1. Set realistic goals that are reachable...it's okay to go high as long as they're attainable!
  2. Put your list of goals in a highly visible location you will see it several times a day for      reinforcement...bathroom mirror or refrigerator or both.
  3. Take problems and turn them into challenges.  Don't get defeated by the little things!
  4. Train yourself to find solutions rather than complaining. People tend to zone you out when you tend to unload on them and they will eventually avoid you.
  5. Surround yourself with positive, driven people. Negative people will suck you dry of energy and motivation.
  6. Hold yourself accountable to stay on task of your goals. Get a day planner or plug your daily activities into your phone.
  7. Measure your success at the end of each month. Are you where you should be?
  8. Reach out to a mentor or fellow REALTOR® when you need help. Most seasoned professionals are more than willing to help!
  9. Know the direction you want to take and GO FOR IT! It's up to you how busy you wish to be!
  10. Be Thankful. Be sure to show appreciation to those around you who help in so many ways to ensure that you are successful, your broker, title people, lenders, appraisers, inspectors and especially your family.

I wish you a very happy, productive and prosperous 2010. It really is UP TO YOU!

I think that this year, I'll post my goal in a place I'll see it every day. I've seen that before and have never done it.  Now that I have my goals set, I'll make sure that I do it this year!

Wanda one of the biggest mistakes I made last year is not monitoring my goals-NOT THIS YEAR. I am monitoring my goals weekly instead of on a monthly basis in 2010. Queen Pat Kennedy brought me to this blog. Happy New Year to you. And congrats on being one of ACTIVE RAIN TOP NEWCOMERS OF 2009. Great post.

Well thought out goals, Wanda.

#5 - it is amazing how people can drag you down, just walk away.
