1% Better Each Day- TOPIC #5 - CAREER

Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX Results MN#20344949 WI#93113-94

I can imagine that most people reading this want to make an improvement in your career.  I know most of the people reading this are in the Real Estate or related fields.  What are some simple things you can start doing today that will help you improve your career and soon break through? Remember don't be overwhelmed by the big improvement you want to make...break it down and do 1% Better Each Day and soon you will be well on your way to the success you dream of.

CREATE A VISION:  What do you want your life to be like in 1 year? 5 years? 10 years?  How will your career aspirations help that? 

Picture yourself where you want to be in the coming years.  Do you want to be at the top of your profession?  Do you want to make more money?  Work less?  Write down the ideas, dreams, goals and steps you need to take to create your ultimate vision. Expand on it as more ideas come to mind.  You should come up with a large list.  Again don't get overwhelmed...simply keep moving forward a little each day or more.

GET HELP: Successful people are coachable.  They find mentors and coaches to help them move forward in their career.  You don't have to reinvent the wheel. Why not find others that are successful and do what they do!

SHARE: To advance in your career you should not only learn from others but also share with others.  I believe God has created a world full of plenty and there is more then enough to go around.  So help spread the abundance by sharing what others have taught you.

DO WHAT YOU LOVE: If you don't like what your doing chances are you don't care to do better.  If you find yourself doing what you don't like I encourage you to be faithful to it and improve at it and by doing so the doors of opportunity to doing what you DO LIKE will open up faster.

HAVE A MISSION OR PURPOSE: Why do you do what you do?  If you can create a purpose that serves others that will bring fulfillment, significance and energy to what you do daily!

Certainly there is much more that can be said here.  My thinking is to give you some ideas and direction.  Its up to you to move forward. If you do a little more each day to improve you will take your career to a whole new level!

Chuck, great way of thinking.  If I could alleviate 1% of clutter every day, I'd be clutter free in about three months!  Well, maybe I'll settle for a 1/2% every day on that one :)
