Do You Really Think 2009 Will Be...Better?!

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams Realty Central Delaware

Here we are at the end of the year 2008 and we made resolutions, promises, commitments, and on and on and on... We were determined to make 2008 the best year we've ever had! How did it turn out for you? The economy did you say? Yea, whatever! Granted, there was a hit in our industry because of the economy or is it the other way around?

If you ever get a chance, read a book called, 'The Go Getter' by Peter B. Kyne. It talks about an impossible task of delivering a blue vase under impossible odds. A good friend, colleague, and brother in Christ told me the story and since I just obtained a Sony e-reader, I decided to get the e-book and browse it myself.

I guess my point is this: To have a goal is great but without a vision, map,  and tasks to get you there you will probably get way of track and possibly missing your target altogether. So if I may suggest to you a slightly better strategy for 2009:

1) Start with a workable goal

2) Map out your vision to reach that goal

3) Develop the tasks necessary to reach every goal you set

4) Last but certainly not least, it wouldn't hurt to have God in the plan!

To help you really get on the 2009 horse, here's a late Christmas gift from me to you; the link to the free download of guess what! THE GO GETTER!

Jon - Sounds like a good book.  I may need to grab a Sony e-reader myself in 2009.  It seems like something I would get a lot of use from.

Jon:  Do I think 2009 will be better ?  Honestly, it has to be better.  There is no way whatsoever it could be worse for me, business-wise.  So... a pretty easy prediction.

2009 wasn't as bad to me as 2008, and I pray that 2010 will be better than 2009! of course.
