Motivational Monday-Set a goal and wrap up 2010

By
Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX REAL ESTATE TODAY, Executive Broker 901-488-9590

I just set a goal last night by putting it in writing I am going to make it to 200,000 points by the end of this year.  Base ongoals my calculation, it should be a reachable goal.

2010 is ending in less than 3 months, I can't believe how fast this year has gone by.  So many ups and downs has happened, tears and joy, good and bad surprises, you name it, it all happened in 2010.

With many uncertainties coming up in 2011, how are we going to know everything will be okay?  We won't.  We can only live a day at a time, not to sound depress, but being sure to stay on the ground, and keep our focus each and everyday.  I am not a big goal planner, I set small goals, not really a goal, more like a project for myself to work on.  I keep working on my project until it is done, then I move on to the next one.  

What keeps me going with my projects is I always learn something new and different during the process, and they help me to become a better person and an agent who can in return to help my clients better also.  

I know it is key to stick with your goal, but I believe flexibility is also as important.  Sometimes we need to change the route a little to make the goal/plan more effective to become successful.  I am not a rocket scientist, I don't have a set of formulas for success, but I keep working hard to reach my goal, keep moving and I think it is just as important.

Do you have a last set/s of goal you need to reach before stepping into 2011?  Did you write it down as your reminder?  I hope you wrap up 2010 strong, and get ready for an even bigger and better 2011!

Rita, you're so persistant that whatever goals you set for yourself, I'm sure you'll be successful in achieving.  Hope the last quarter of the year is as good to you as the first 3/4's were.

I have been motivated by this quote recently,

I pray as if it's all up to God, and do as if it's all up to me.

I know after I have done my best, I'm going to receive God's best for me for 2011.

I'm very careful about how I think and how I make statements too. October is too early to think about wrapping up. I can still close many clients and many of them go into escrow and close in 30 days. I still have 3 solid months. It'd be mid-December before I think about wrapping up. I suggest you join my club too!

Rita, I know you will make it! I find the most important thing is to believe, to remain positive, and I am positive you will reach 200,000 by the end of the year!

You go girl!

Loreena, oh no, I am not wrapping up 2010 yet, I am just suggesting if someone has not motivated themself enough this year, they still have time to do something if they want to.  I am still doing open house, getting prospects.  This business never ends, as long as we want to work.  I like the qoute you mentioned, it is so true, and that's what I believe also.  As long as I have done my very best, I will let God to take care the rest for me.  And sure, I am in your club!!

Hi Rita - good post. It is tough to stay motivated especially the Summer is over (for New York anyways) and it is a Monday. I review my goal book and try to have positive thoughts.

Hey, Eileen, it is tough to get motivated most of the time, haha. I have to give a try regardless, no one will push me if I don't push myself. So come on and let's all get motivated!

Mike, I am telling you, pictures like that can make an impact on us, it helps to straight us out, ;)

Trey, that's my motto, too, take it one day at a time.  Achieving one thing each day, it will snowball into many accomplishments.
