The Foundation of All Success: ACTION, ACTION, ACTION!
I have coached many agents over the years and most of them want to know what the "secret sauce" is for success in real estate. Without any hesitate I quickly reply, "ACTION, ACTION, ACTION!!!"
You can have the best vision for your business and the loftiest goals but without taking CONSISTENT ACTION in your business you rarely get to the successful place you want to be.
Many agents know they want to make money, but they don't concentrate enough on taking consistent repeatable action to reach their goals. The desire … (1 comments)

plan: Making Goals and Striving to Reach Them: The Pros and Cons - 08/01/14 01:53 AM

Making Goals and Striving to Reach Them:
The Pros and Cons
When I encourage my clients to set realistic goals I also help them set up a strategic plan to achieve them. When a plan is followed, success usually follows! The challenge is when they focus too much on the goal and not enough on the plan.
When setting realistic goals you have to first have a clear vision of what you want to achieve. You then need to be realistic about the plan to reach your goal. The goal is the vision of what you want and the plan … (2 comments)

plan: The Gift of a Wrench - 07/26/13 02:48 AM

The Gift of a “Wrench”
You may have heard the term, "throwing a wrench in the plans." Well, from where I'm standing, it seems to be raining "wrenches" this month.
I have been contacted by so many agents I am coaching who have needed to change their plans for the summer because a family member has become ill or passed away, they themselves have gotten sick or have been in an accident, they have to go on an unexpected (and unpleasant) trip, their assistant has quit, or something else in their world has gone seriously awry and they must … (0 comments)

plan: Is Your Business Plan Doomed to Failure? - 11/27/12 02:40 AM

Is Your Business Plan Doomed to Failure?
As a real estate trainer and coach I see agents with many different attitudes toward business planning. There's the agent who has a plan that's so detailed it lacks flexibility (not to mention the fact that it takes three months to put it together!), the agent who has a plan that's so lacking in structure and accountability that there may as well not be a plan, and the agent who has planned for failure because they have - you guessed it - no plan at all.
I actually don't even like the … (0 comments)
