I am no exception! I've been reviewing, revamping, reenergizing for 2009. Here are my resolutions, not to be confused with the business plan.
2009 Resolutions
- Fine tune systems and techniques; eliminate what is NOT working.
- Empty drawers and closets of clutter
- Refuse negative impulses and thoughts
- Ensure that private, meditation time is NEVER preempted
- Eat healthier
- Walk each day
- Pray without ceasing
- Sing more
- Envision future and goals each day
- Keep learning, take more classes
- Review my Spanish and practice it
- Digitize all snapshots
- Communicate more regularly with friends
- Work international market-Central America
Regarding the business plan: is anyone else out there having a problem determining how many units they need to sell in 09? Based on my 08 production, those numbers would be ridiculous. So where does one begin? Do I start over, as if a rookie, when I've been in the business almost 20 years? Do I just pull a number from thin air and work toward it?
Last year, I took out my plan and looked at it each month and tried to pull rabbits from the hat. Nothing seemed to make a difference. This year, I am not even sure how to construct a realistic plan. My 2009 business planning process is speculative and based on concept rather than actual data. That makes me nervous. Is this something I can honestly say is going to be a business tool for me? Or, is it simply a paper exercise?
As I intend to remain in this business, I will NOT fold my tent and seek another career path, although my ‘numbers' might indicate that is the case. So, for tonight, my 2009 business plan is fluid. I will continue to be the real estate professional I know I am and work this business with all the energy, integrity and skill I possess. How's that?
