It's 4Q - Who Let the Dogs Out????

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with 3:16 team REALTY ~ Locally-owned Prosper TX Real Estate Co. #9001154

I can't believe that the 4th Quarter is here. Where did the year ago? I remembered I put on a Happy New Year onesie on my then 10-month old daughter as if it was last week.

We've survived 3 quarters. We are right at the beginning of the 4th. The year will end as you set your mind to.

My 4th Quarter looks very strong. There are more listing phone calls that I've ever had during the same time than previous years. The pool of buyers are still searching. It looks like it will end another best year yet. And each year, I wonder how do I continue to do better than the last. With God's blessings, it's always happens.

While my mind is fresh and strong, I'm also taking this time to review the Year that has been and planning 2014.

It's never too early to get your hands on a 2014 calendar and start creating good plans and habits. As for me, here's my to-do list and I'd love to share it with you:

  • Plan out the rest of the marketing for 2013 including budget
  • Re-visit the culture, core values and re-iterating the mission statement as a company
  • Have an updated Office Policy and Standard Training procedure (with proper follow up on paper)
  • Business and Marketing Planning 2014 including budget (and laying it out by chronological order)
  • Blogging plan (including it on the calendar)

There's 2 statements I want to inspire you with:

  • The diligent prospers.
  • Where there's no vision, people perish.

Remember Goals convert vision into energy.... (Dave Ramsey)

Make it your best 4th Quarter!

Yes, I can't believe 4th quarter is here...and these next 6-7 weeks are our busy season.  Thankfully, we are already 20% ahead of goal for the year.

4th quarter is a great time to prosper....and one often ignored by many realtors who wind down instead of UP !

Good morning Loreena,

Great words of wisdom for us all. I too am looking over the 4th quarter and evaluating it as a very successful way to end the year! I'm already tweaking what is too be in place for a good first quarter in 2014! Where has the year gone..I marvel and the growth of your two beautiful children:).

Hi Loreena,

Two of my favorite scriptures. I have been thinking the Proverb about diligence.  We are having a push for a strong finish in Q4 and a good start in Q1 2014.

We are way busier than this same time last year or several prior to it frankly.  I think we're going to end our year on a really high note.  Now finding time for Christmas shopping might be a challenge

Summer was such a busy time that by the time we slowed down it was October...lol. Yours and Cara's post are telling me to plan ahead. I can plan but God directs.
