I'm curious to see how many agents have found (not feel) that their business plan has helped them build their business.

We've had an unusual year so my question isn't pertaining to just 2008.  At anytime have you found your business plan helped you accomplish more, increase your business and made you more money?

Before some of you get your feathers ruffled...I'm not against business plans...however, I will be sharing with you my opinion the first week of 2009.

Happy New Year.

Jeff

This was the first year that I actually devised a plan---once I made the decision last New Year's Eve that, if I continued in this business, I'd have to do things differently---and I did...I established what it was that I could do best and reached out to capitalize on that. I increased my sales from barely 1 million last year to over 5 million this year!  I'm more enthused than ever now, to work with a plan...set some goals...I've never beem much for that at all, but have just shown myself how very helpful it is to have a plan in formation. I totally followed through with doing some things very differently. All the best in 2009!

I think having a business plan is an important tool to keep you on track.  I review my plan quarterly to see what is working and what isn't and adjust accordingly.

Jeff,

Exceeded my sales goal.

I found that I was constantly adjusting due to market changes and challenges.

My business plan was my MAP to keep me on track.  For the most part, it worked nicely.

Happy New Year ! ! ! ! !
