"Don't tell me how hard you work.
Tell me how much you get done."
~ Industrialist, James Ling
 
Your action for today
is to see if you are preoccupied
with how hard you're working
rather than focusing on the results you're getting.
 
I see this mistake with my fellow 
Buffini & Company coached REALTORS*
They post how many calls, notes and pop-bys
they accomplished each week. But,
I never see the results of that work posted.
We have to evaluate the quality of the work 
we're doing, not just the volume.
The winner doesn't have the most tasks done,
They have the most clients served so well,
that they become advocates during and after escrow.

free home searches: Take Action: Outperform Doubt - 08/11/20 07:28 AM
I went for a classic quote today . 😉👇
 
 
"Whether you think you can,
or whether you think you can't,
you are right."
~ Henry Ford
 
 
Your action for today
is to identify something
that you have accomplished
where others doubted that you would.
 
 
 
Reviewing your accomplishments is one great way to 
remind yourself how far you have come in life.
It also serves a motivator when you are
facing a new challenge in life, to review challenges you overcame.
"I did it before, I can do it again".
You, can inspire...YOU!

"A man is a success if
he gets up in the morning,
gets to bed at night
and in between
does what he wants to do."
~ Songwriter, Bob Dylan
 
 
Your action for today
is to evaluate on a scale of 1-10
as to where you are
in relation to living the life of your dreams.
Then decide, what would need to happen to make it a 10?

"Try not to become a man *(person) of success
but rather try to become a man *(person) of value."
~ Albert Einstein
 
*modified for my 2020 audience 😉
 
Your action for today
is to contact one of your clients or customers
regarding something unrelated
to your product or service
that would add value to their lives.
 
 
This has been the single most effective
"secret to my success".
Less than 20% of your competition stays in touch!
Staying in touch between transactions,
  remaining a helpful resource and being a voice of value.
In many cases, becomming friends or
at least friendly-familiar
in the process with my SOLD clients.

"It's easy to get people's attention;
what counts is getting their interest."
~ Civil Rights Activist, Philip Randolph
 
Your action for today
is to see if you can capture someone's interest.
 
 
It's tempting to suck people in with a sensationalized title;
but, can you hold them with your subject matter?
Researched facts, writing style and subject matter count if
you want readers not clicks. Comments not "likes".

"In seeking truth you have to get both sides of a story."
~ Broadcaster, Walter Cronkite
 
Your action for today is to revisit a situation
where you made some conclusions about something
or someone that may not be totally accurate
because you didn't have all the facts.
 
 
My trusted holistic healer / nutritionist

It looked ridiculous and fake to the skeptical eye.

I completely retracted my suspicions and now

"It is nice to be important, but it is more important to be nice."

Your action for today is to write
a thank you card or note to someone.
 
 
I have received 3 personal notes in 20 years
from Brian Buffini of Buffini & Company and each made my day.
 
 
I have written over 7,000 personal notes in my real estate career.
I know my number because I've documented them in my CRM, along with calls, pop-bys and client parties.
 
When you write a note to someone, the question to ask yourself
is how can I bless this person's day?
 
When they read it, it should warm them … (9 comments)

free home searches: Now is the Perfect Time for Homeowners to Sell - 07/21/20 07:16 AM
 
Now is the perfect time for homeowners to sell...
Buyers are back looking for homes and entering the (almost) post-Covid housing market, while sellers over all are enjoying a robust and competitive market. However, I'll caution you here in San Diego that move-in-ready sells quicker in most areas of our county, much faster than homes with deferred maintenance.
 
The housing market is experiencing a mini-boom that will last, perhaps, until the end of 2020 and into 2021. As a homeowner and to the real estate professionals out there, you need to take advantage of this demand. You have equity in your home, you … (7 comments)

Your action for today is 
to see if you can gather some additional facts
about a strong opinion you have.
 
Political Facts
Racial Facts
Health Facts
Market Facts
Other ? Facts
 
...all seem to be lacking in 2020 and causing people to behave out of fearful click-bait

"Reality is above all else a variable and nobody is qualified to say that he or she knows exactly what it is.
As a matter of fact, with a firm enough commitment, you can sometimes create a reality which did not exist before."
~ Novelist, Margaret Halsey
 
Your action for today is to stop for five minutes,
close your eyes and

see yourself in two years
-- make a commitment to take this time
at least two times a week.

"Talent without discipline is like an octopus on roller skates.
There's plenty of movement, but you never know if it's going
to be forward, backwards, or sideways. "
 
~ Writer, H. Jackson Brown, Jr.
 
Your action for today is to force yourself to finish a project you have been procrastinating on.
 
That means I'll be finishing the "Spring" Cleaning of my office today.
I work better when I'm surrounded by flow vs. clutter, don't you?
I like my paperwork stacks, I'm visual that way, 
but let's be honest, a clean desk is a more productive work space.
