Procrastination.....The #1 Killer In Business
Before I forgot to do this, I thought I'd better share this with those of you that need this reminder as much as I do. Yes, I know, we all know what we're supposed to do but doing it is harder. I make my lists and constantly try to tackle the hardest things first but I'm not always successful. Hopefully you will find some words of wisdom here that will help you change your ways. I'm still hopeful that I can change mine.
The quality of one's organization skills will determine the degree of success one accomplishes. Often, real estate agents are pulled in many directions with no room to breathe in between. We may have a listing appointment just before a showing, and other paperwork to complete after our appointments are finished. The list is never ending.
Trouble brews when agents procrastinate. One may decide to complete that paperwork tomorrow, and when tomorrow arrives, another listing appointment surfaces. Now that agent is feeling the first signs of "quick sand" under foot. If the agent does not spend additional time clearing hie/her desk of postponed tasks, business will eventually be lost.
Procrastination is the root of future destruction in the real estate business. I know this is trite, but "never put off until tomorrow what you can do today." It will eventually catch up with you and bury you. It will bite you in the ass, and that bite will leave you in a whirlwind that results in lost dollars. One lost piece of business could easily lead to another; just as one quality piece of business attracts more and starts the ball rolling.
Procrastinating is a habit that needs to be broken. It results in rushing to complete tasks rather than accomplishing those tasks with thought and care in an organized manner. We will eventually finish all of our work; but will the quality of that work be up to par? At the end of every day, make a list of the tasks to be completed the next day, and don't leave the office until they are complete.
