2012 Business & Life Plan - Create Your Business Plan in 15 Days - Day 12


Is this your first visit to Creating your 2012 Business Plan?  If so click on picture to read the
original post that will SET YOU UP for amazing success and happiness in 2012.  We're going day by day, breaking down the pieces of what makes for a successful plan for business and life. The most important piece of this plan is to get started, give it some thought, and stick with it. It doesn't matter what day you found this post....just get started NOW! Do it for YOU!

 

Day 12

OK...good you're back! Today we're going to focus on MONEY!  Now don't go getting all crazy because this exercise is NOT going to be one that you get down to crunching nitty gritty numbers and all that stuff.  Yes - I do the math but my main way of getting to what I intend to earn this year is very simple.

 

Take out a check and write out what you want to make in 2012. Seriously. Just Do it.  A long time coach/friend of mine showed me this neat little trick years ago.  At first I thought it was kind of lame - really I did. But after the first year or two of writing out those checks to myself and meeting or exceeding my VISON I became a tried and true believer.

 


********************************************************************

 

Your Homework Today:  How much would you like to earn in 2012?  Now I'd like to say think big AND..... I also know that it's important to look back on your previous year and and evaluate what is realistic. Some may say - oh don't do that - you'll hold yourself back.  But not me...I've seen many agents make pie in the sky money goals and they never make them come true. Why? Because they're pie in the sky folks and they're not willing to do what it takes day to day, week to week to make the goal a reality. So be honest with yourself - really honest.  If you want to increase your earnings by 25% or 50% then what are you willing to do to make that happen?  Clearly it will need to look different than last year, right?  What number feels right to you?  Once you've given it some thought - Write out a check to you, date it 12/31/2012 and sign your name. This is your commitment to you. Believe it. See it. Expect it. Put your check in a place where you'll see it every day for the next year. Keep it on your top of mind awareness and if you do the work that you need to do consistently it will happen.  It works if you work!

 

 

 My vision is for YOU to create a powerful and effective business plan for 2012

Anna - what I like about this plan is that it provides for "balance".  We can not be all about work, we can't play too much and we must provide that personal aspect which for me certainly includes spiritual.  Happy New Yedar!

Thanks!

Hi Anna Banana...Holiday Greetings from Lake Anna.

Now that I have that behind me I want to cry.  Where have I been the last 11 days?  From the looks of things I have lots of reading to do and lots of homework as well. 

Will it be worth it?  Knowing you I have to say YES!  OK, here I go.

Kate

P.S.  I have to get away from this money thing (I know my answer to that one) and get started at the very beginning.  Guess you'll be seeing a lot of me or is it the other way around.

Love the idea -- just did it and put it up on my wall.  Thanks, Anna.   I like Shannon's idea of making out the check for the net profit (savings) - so that's what I did !

Oooooo Anna!  I really like this suggestion.  The proverbial carrot with a hint of competition with yourself mixed in.  I would think very painful, should you not make your goal ... and that it would only happen one year and then never again.  Great tip and one I think I will give a try ... thanks!

Interesting idea Anna.  We really need to review where we spend money and whether or not it continues to make sense.  Thanks for the gentle nudge.  (Didn't even know you did it, did you?)
