Chicken Little the Realtor

Schedules and staying fixed on them are so important to todays world and it is the only way to make any money and be succsessful in the real estate industry. Without setting up a schedule for yourself you will miss out on accomplishing tasks that are profit generating.I have set up a calendar of tasks for myself that I am having issues with sticking to so I will constantly change it when need be, but I have a goal list and a task list that must be accomplished each week. For example I must make so many FSBO calls each week and so many recruiting calls each week, so I set aside time on certain days every week to make those calls, but some times you find that it is more productive to make those calls at a different time, that is ok to tinker with your schedule but you HAVE to hold yourself accountable for performing those tasks that will get you to the goals that you have set. If you ask the average agent in our business if they have a business plan or have set goals for this year they will say yes then if you delve deeper you will find it is not a formalized , written plan. If you want to achieve it you must first conceive it,. in other words sit down and write down what you want and what you need to do to get there. I am presently reformulating my goals upwards and restructuring my schedule and weekly tasks as I need to have more flexibility later in the week so my week will be front heavy with calls.  Sorry about the soap box rant but in speaking to agents this week they all seem to be out there just floating with no direction or worse yet running around yelling the sky is falling the sky is falling. This business is an industry and should be worked that way not as a part time hobby.
