Business planning for 2009 required me to reflect on my business related activities in 2008. Looking back I found that the best decision that I made in 2008 was to help form a real estate agent / Mom support group. The idea of the support group came about over lunch after a company pep rally. Several ladies and I were discussing all of the obstacles that we encounter on a daily basis that prevent us from being all that we can be, great Mothers, great wives, great agents. We decided that we needed to form a group to help hold us accountable to our goals and for plain old peer support. At our first meeting we determined our goals for our group and worked on coming up with a name. After a couple of weeks meeting we decided that the group would be called "Me Power". The name is to remind us that if we are to accomplish our goals, it is up to "me". We try to meet weekly at the same time and discuss the past weeks challenges and our plans for the upcoming week. During the week we gently remind each other of our goals for the week. The world of real estate can be a crazy business. We work with people but we can feel all alone. The Me group has helped me feel that I am not alone in my business. We "Me's" have also formed great friendships. We are each others biggest fans and cheerleaders. So as I plan for 2009, attending all of our Me Power meetings is at the top of my list of important business related activities.
