Colorado Springs Realtor - Cherise Selley - Myths About Visionary Companies

(7)Myths About Visionary Companies...

     Myth 1: It took a great idea to start Selley Group Real Estate, LLC.

Reality: Very few visionary companies, like Selley Group Real Estate, begin life with a great idea.  In fact, our Colorado Springs Real Estate company began life without any specific ideas at first.  Remarkably, visionary companies often get off to a slow start, but inevitably win the great race of business, in terms of profitability and longevity.  Since our foundation has been solidly planned, our vision continues to expand as we function faithfully from the expansion/contraction business model.  Slow, but sustainable, steps eventually lead to healthy growth.

     Myth 2: Visionary Companies require great visionary leaders.

Reality:  Absolutely not so... Studies show architecture and endurance are more important in the armamentarium to building a long-lasting company.  Perseverance and having an optimistic and forward-thinking attitude among group members are as effective as the influence of one charismatic leader.

     Myth 3:  The most successful companies exist first and foremost to maximize profits.

Reality: Contrary to business school doctrine, "maximizing shareholder wealth" or "profit maximization" has not been the dominant driving force of visionary companies.  Instead, visionary companies are guided by core ideology - then the money follows.  For more details about our core ideology, visit the home page of www.selleygroup.com.

     Myth 4:  The only constant is change.

Reality:  Visionary companies almost religiously preserve their core ideology regardless.  It is imperative to change and adapt strategies without breaching the core.  The power of God does not change.  And for our Colorado Springs Real Estate group, being equipped by the power of God through faith, we're able to operate straightforwardly against the unexpected trials of the real estate and financial markets.

     Myth 5:  Visionary Companies are great places to work, for everyone.

Reality: You will either flourish or you will be expunged like a virus.  It's binary.  In other words, there is no middle ground.  We propose independency and creative ideas for our Colorado Springs Realtors, but also request compliance to a few systems for the benefit of the whole brokerage.

     Myth 6:  Highly successful companies make their best moves by brilliant and complex strategic planning.

Reality:  No... Visionary companies make some of their best moves by experimentation, trial and error, opportunism, and quite literally, by accident.  We advocate the principles of vision, belief and following the Spirit.  For the Colorado Springs Realtor who belongs to our group, we conduct Mastermind Meetings and welcome all kinds of feedback.  Before this economic downturn, the large-brand real estate companies tried to offer marketing tools and lead generation schemes at high prices for Colorado Springs Realtors.  Nowadays the highly successful companies must have Colorado Springs Realtors to come to the table with something to offer, not just something to take.  Effective strategic planning requires competent and innovative input.  Collective participation seems to usurp hierarchy-designed leadership models.

     Myth 7: The most successful companies focus primarily on beating the competition.

Reality: Visionary Companies focus primarily on beating themselves.  Goals are interpreted as short-term strategies for problem-solving.  The Selley Group core ideology is to do our best every day.  Essentially, we've adopted the "Win-win" v. "Win-lose" way of doing business against our competition.  Because in reality, there is no "against" in our thinking.
