And, I know have a LOT going for me, personally and professionally, that I should think of when I think of renewal.
Foremost, I have a wonderful wife who stands by me through ups and downs, better and worse, thick and thin, who has never waivered in her support for my real estate work. Who I look forward to seeing every evening. What more could a fellow ask for?
So, I will renew my recognition of her position as the Number One motivator in my personal life, and in my desire for success.
Not too bad. Accountability starts at home.
I have very good health. Health to allow me strength and energy to run with ideas, duties, efforts, client outreach, and to save some energy for that focus at home, for that wonderful wife.
I have peace of mind, knowing that I will do my best every day to help my clients, to give them clarity and their own peace.
I have skills and education in my real estate business pursuits. I have taken the classes and updates and seminars to build my confidence in my knowledge and to know my limits. And I recognize my clients will benefit from that confidence.
What will be different this year?
Marketing and prospecting will be more focused, targeted and disciplined. I sat down and tried to work up a schematic matrix of what I do on the internet, blogging, networking, socializing, and to calculate how they interact.
And I completely failed to complete it. A couple of years ago, I took a stab at a whole lot of things, and put effort in a whole lot of different unrelated approaches, and those approaches, en masse, do not make sense.
So, in 2011, I will know why I am on FaceBook and Twitter, or I will dump them.
I will have a disciplined approach to blogging, so I can efficiently use the several sites I have available.
I will be able to tell someone why I am on Foursquare, LinkedIn, Plaxo, etc, or they will be gone.
I will resume working weekends, after avoiding them for the last quarter of 2010, purposely, to have more time at home.
But, I will regulate that work time a little more strictly, so that wonderful wife will not be alone every Sunday, unless I am producing something worth reporting to her.
There are a LOT of "I's" in that story. There need to be. While many people will help me achieve my goals in 2011, the ultimate outcome, success or failure is up to ME.
