Are You Worth Stealing?

If a business owner walked into your place of business, would they want to steal you? What would they see? Would they see someone taking ownership, providing excellent customer service? 

To be honest, most see someone behind the counter or desk trading hours for dollars. Someone who has settled into mediocrity. "I just want to get this day over with" or "I can't wait to go home"!

Every day at your current job or position is an interview for your next job or promotion! Start doing the work applicable to the money you would like to make and it will come!

Average people don't use whiteboards!

I recently bought another whiteboard. My third to be exact! I was excited and asked myself why. It is just a blank board with dry erase markers after all.

A whiteboard is a new beginning, a blank slate. You can write down your goals, dreams and plans. You can stretch yourself and those around you. If you find you are getting off track, you have an eraser. When you write your goals you burn them into your mind.

If you find yourself having an average business or life, get a whiteboard! You will do things you never thought possible!

Oh no! It's Monday!

"Oh no! It's Monday! The weekend wasn't long enough!" The other one is "Thank goodness! It's Friday!" Why is this? 

Gliding through each week and just waiting to clock out each day is usually the start. This has been called the joy of mediocrity.

Your life happens though the week. How you begin on Monday will affect how you close out the week on Friday.

 Try celebrating a successful week rather than escaping a job you hate. Do what you love rather than something that is a means to an end. The mindset starts with you.

Am I On Track?

For years I had a good real estate business. I said good, not great. Two years ago, something changed. I did a business plan. Now I had a map of where I was going and if I was on the right road. The first year having a plan, I doubled my business. This year I beat my goal by 30%! If you've hit a wall in your business, do a plan now! January is too late.

Work on your business instead of in it!

I recently attended the Century 21 Top Agent Retreat in Coronado California. Some ask, "why do you travel so much or how to you have time to do it?" 

Do you find yourself working hard in your business, managing the details and putting out fires? Are you making it day by day, week by week. Just to find yourself surviving?

This week has allowed me to step back and take a look at my business from 30,000 feet. I was able to dialogue with top agents in my industry. I learned new techniques and tools I can use to be more efficient and effective.

Is it hard to step away sometimes? Sure, but I'll tell you, it's worth it!

You Are Being Recorded!

So you have viewed the home and gather with your agent in the living room to discuss your options. Stop! Sellers are recording you! More and more sellers are recording the conversations that take place in their home. If you choose to discuss your offer strategy, you may be shooting yourself in the foot!
