Have you completed your mid-year checkup?

As we approach the end of the sixth month of 2008 it's time to complete your mid-year checkup.

What do I mean?  Ask yourself a few questions:

• How are you progressing on those goals you made for yourself for this year?
  • Have you continuously educated yourself on your market and the industry?
    
  • Have you written as many sucessful contracts as you'd hoped?
  • Are you saving money for a rainy day?
  • Are you networking ---- effectively?
    
    
• Are you adjusting those plans that aren't going as you expected?
  • So you've closed three homes instead of six.  What are you doing about it?
  • Are you getting useable traffic to your website? 
    
  • Are you successfully promoting yourself?
    
    
• Have you touched your database at least once?
  • Did you send Happy New Year cards or emails to anyone?
  • If you're an entertainer, have you hosted a cookout or pool party?
    
    
• Are you keeping in touch with those leads that weren't quite ready to purchase or sell their home?
  
  • Do you send occasional emails or just call to say hi?
    
    
• Have you updated your database of professionals? 
  
  • Does Joe Smith still write loans for Countywide, or has he moved somewhere else?

• Is your housekeeping in order?
  • Do you have a decent supply of business cards, personalized pens, etc?
  • Many annualized membership dues are due on June 30.  Have you paid yours?
  • Have you completed your Continuing Education requirements?

2008 is moving fast.  Don't procrastinate until it's too late!
