that you will do "someday,"
and assign a 2024 date
as to when you will have it done!
Don't make resolutions, set goals.

planning for the future: Rainmakers VS. Deal-Makers: Both Are Required For Your Success - 09/30/23 08:55 AM
Thank you to Peter Mohylsky, Beach Expert who asked the question this morning:
"Working on your business vs working in your business. How do you define each? Who started this idea? How do you keep them straight?"
Excellent questions and there is a very important distinction!
Well, let me tell you, my friend, there's a world of difference between working on your business and working in your business, and it's a distinction that every entrepreneur needs to understand. As I replied to Peter:
"Who started it really doesn't matter as much as who's imparted it on you in a way that reached you, caused you … (9 comments)

"A journey of 1000 miles begins with a single step...
a leash, water, treats and an open-inquisitive mind
to enjoy the unexpected detours along the way"
~Whiskey K-9 Nelson, Explorer

Your action for today

in a big project that you have been putting off.
Big projects need to be chunked down
Into smaller, achievable steps that
are scheduled into your days
and weeks until completed.
Happy Sunday!

planning for the future: Eat You Alive or Thrive: How Do You Enjoy Life Working In Real Estate? - 06/04/22 09:55 AM
This feels like my "Jerry Maguire Mission Statement" risk ha ha. I share this information because I actually do care about people. I care a lot about our industry and if there's a selfish motivation here, it's this:
 
 
We owe it to ourselves, our families and our clients, to give the the best of us, not what's left of us. We need to take care of ourselves, protect our time and we need to learn our craft like masters of our industry. We endeavor to do our best.
If you're not relating to this and this industry is not for you, leave. No … (15 comments)

planning for the future: Take Action: Get A Life! - 07/21/21 06:25 AM
"The difference between great people and everyone else
is that great people create their lives actively,
while everyone else is created by their lives,
passively waiting to see where life takes them next.
The difference between the two
is the difference between
living fully and just existing."
Trainer, Speaker, Author, Michael Gerber
The Emyth Series & The Dreaming Room
 
 
 
 
Your action for today
is to reflect on whether you are living fully
or merely existing and either celebrate
or make a commitment to change.

planning for the future: Take Action: Don't Look Back-You're Not Going That Way - 09/17/20 06:36 AM
"You can't have a better tomorrow
if you are thinking about yesterday all the time."
~ Inventor, Charles Kettering
Founder of Delco, and was head of research at General Motors from 1920 to 1947.
Your action for today
is to let go of any should or could haves
and focus on what you will do instead.
 
Editor's Note: It can be an appropriate exercise in motivation to look back on progress, to journal in fact. Just don't waste time pining for the good old days
...make new good old days!
