Forget Your Resolutions do a New Year's SHIFT Instead!

By
Real Estate Agent

Looking for a change - a better, smarter, quicker or more consistent way of doing things?  With the New Year just around the corner many of us are looking for a Fresh Start.  For some of us that means an Overhaul, for other's its just a Tweek here or a Tweek there. 

We have a tendancy to make things complicated don't we?  Somehow if things are complicated we have a built-in excuse for not doing what we know needs to be done.  What's the excuse if THE SHIFT that's required is Simple?

If there's only one Real Estate related book that you plan on reading in 2010 - Make it Gary Keller's - The Shift! I've been privileged to have met Gary on several occasions and have attended several of his seminars.  As co-founder of Keller Williams, Gary has put together a book that if read and but to practice will forevermore change the way you do business.    It's practical, it's realistic.  And you'll get more then the 'if only one' good idea - we've learned to expect from seminars and books.

"Shift Happens. Always has, always will."

 "History repeats itself"

 "It is a myth to believe you can be great at everything. You can be great at some things."

 "What's your delegation criteria?"

 "It's always about quality not about quantity"

 "Plan your personal time first"

 "It's not about the market... It's about what you do!"

 

The Book may not have any major revelations for you - but you'll be able to exhale in relief to find out that the principles are simple.  They're tried, they're true.......and they're so simple  - so simple in fact that we have a tendency to step over them.

Make your Resolution to make the required SHIFT   -  don't step over, don't circumvent, don't makes excuses......Stop Reversing, get out of NEUTRAL and SHIFT into Fast Forward.  You know you want to! :-)

Here is a schedule of Gary Keller's Shift tour dates.

Hi Liz...I like the Quantity Idea..when my volume falls off because my average moved up and my income stayed the same...my quality of life gets better. Having said that, when my volume is up, I'm busier and no personal life, but enjoy my steady income...what's a boy to do. Shift for quality or Shift for Volume?

Cheers, I read the book last year...thanks

I've seen Gary speak on the Shift tour, and my biggest take away was focusing on the ONE thing you can become an expert at.  It's helped to keep me on track and has made planning for 2010 a little easier.
