You Can Benefit From Tiger's Philosophy!
Tiger Woods' swing coach Hank Haney recently shared a quote from Tiger:
"Tiger doesn't care about what he's done. He doesn't care about where he's been. He doesn't care about how good he is. He only cares about ~ 'What do I need to do today to better than I was yesterday?' Haney said.
Do you wake up with a game plan for the day?
Most real estate agents don't. They may think they have an idea about what they need to do during the day...may have an appointment or two, but in the end, they are answering their phone and putting out fires. Then before they know it, the day is over...then the week is over...then the month is over.
Have you been there before?
I have.
It's a challenge to stay focused on your goals when you don't use some type of daily planner. You can use a software program similar to Top Producer, have a formatted one page sheet of paper, a Day Timer or even 3x5 index card. The idea is to use something. Saying that you can remember everything in your head is a cop-out...you're not being accountable.
It's all about the percentages. Imagine if tomorrow you become 1% better skilled at your profession than day. In just over 3 months, it's possible to double your skill set from where you are today. Does that mean that you'll double your income in that same time frame? Probably not, but over the long-term your income can rise a lot quicker because of your increased efficiency and effectiveness.
Remember, Tiger said, 'What do I need to do today to better than I was yesterday? Can you imagine someone as good at golf as Tiger, even after winning tournaments, would shut down his game two times and re-build his golf swing? Why? To become a better golfer.
Just like Tiger, when he came on the golfing scene, the rest of the PGA professionals had to improve their games or they'd be left in the dust. Well, Tiger can't sit on his laurels either. He has to constantly strive to improve his game...and so do you.
In the current real estate market, most agents have to strive to improve their skills for two reasons...1) there are more agents than there is business in many areas, so the competition for buyers and sellers is immense. 2) There are more listings than buyers in many areas, so agents have to improve their skills in dealing with sellers and better educating sellers as to what it takes to sell a property in this market.
Take time out each business day to work on your skill-sets. Whether it's in the morning before you head out the door or in the evening after most people are asleep, take an hour to read a book, practice scripts, review your daily plan, etc.
It will help you stay focused and you'll waste less time too.
To your success,
Dan
