bjbjBrBr Hello Luxury Real Estate Agents, Jack Cotton, Amazon #1 best-selling author
of Selling Luxury Homes and luxury real estate expert. We're getting started in with our
series of 12 Deadly Business Planning Sins for luxury real estate agents and we've talking
about #1, not understanding the power of goals and #2, understanding the power of goal setting
and not doing it anyway hard to imagine but it happens and #3, our Sin of today is not
taking the time to create the plan to reach your goals. You know, it's very easy to sit
down and write your goal. In fact, I challenge you right now. Get out a piece of paper or
download my business plan from LuxuryBusinessPlan.com and write down your goal. Now that's easy,
you can do that in a minute and a half, or you can do that in half a minute actually.
But now you've got to create the plan to reach that goal and to create that plan takes time.
Now, we're all busy, especially at this time of the year there's so many things competing
for our time, but you've got to take the time to create the plan to reach your goals. And
here's my suggestion to you. Plan a retreat, a personal retreat. Go to a (0:01:16.5) if
you need to. Go to a resort if you need to. Go somewhere away from the office. Turn off
your phone. Turn off your computer. Turn off everything. You can get so much done if you
isolate yourself in a hotel room or a darkened basement or somewhere to actually work on
the plan that will help you achieve your goal. Because when you write down your goal, no
matter what that number happens to be, sometimes it can be intimidating or daunting or seem
even impossible to attain. But if you create a plan and break it down to month, weeks,
days, and even hours, now it comes in step-by-step bites that you can actually see yourself accomplishing.
You know, the time is going to pass anyway, 2013 is going to fly by just like 2012 did,
so you want to be making sure that every minute of the day, every hour of the day, every day
of the week, every week of the month has something planned for you to either take time off and
really enjoy it or be working toward attainting your goal. Here's a concept for #3, taking
the time to create the plan to reach your goal and that is, wherever you are, be there.
Wherever you are, be there. So many people who are on vacation think about all the things
they should be doing at work and sometimes people are at work thinking about they'd like
to be vacation. Wherever you are, be there. And the way you can do that is you create
a plan to reach your goal. So, what I want you to do right now, your action item, now,
we're going to start setting action items with these series. Your action item is to
plan a day, even a half a day, to create the plan to reach your goal. If you download my
business plan at LuxuryBusinessPlan.com, you will find that you can turn your goals into
really easy to attain pieces, month by month and week by week. I'll talk about that more
as this series of Deadly Business Planning Sins for luxury real estate agents unfolds.
In the meantime, work on your plan, put that date in your calendar (0:03:14.0) yourself,
and I'll see you next time. Eword *** [Content_Types].xml _rels/.rels theme/theme/themeManager.xml sQ}#
