Have you set your goals for 2008 yet?
You have 2 weeks left before 2007 is but a memory and 2008 is coming in full speed ahead.
Whether you write down the total volume of business you want to close in 2008 or you focus on the number of transactions closed, now is the time to decide what you need to do.
Even though we're right in the middle of the holiday season and everyone is spending time shopping, being with family and taking some time off, there's still plenty of time to write your business plan for next year.
So, what are you going to do in 2008? Are you planning to spend the next 365 days the same way you spent the last? Achieving the same results...or, are you ready to take a leap forward in grow in 2008? You could stay behind wishing to prosper or you could decide to take action and make a change.
Whether you had a great year in 2007 or a dismal one, it's time to determine what strategies you can implement to make 2008 a great year.
The experts have been talking about going back to the basics. Have you adapted to the changing market or do you have your head in the sand?
The reality is the real estate market is anew and if you don't change your plan, your income will suffer.
It's projected that hundreds of thousands of Realtors and mortgage lenders will get out of the business in
2008. Are you willing to strap yourself in and do what you need to do?
There is still plenty of opportunity available for anyone willing to work for it. Yes, there will be more "bumps and bruises" along the way, but the real estate market had been pretty easy for several years in a row. You know what I mean...a hot seller's market in many areas.
The tide has changed, but you can change with it.
I know you can! You just have to believe in yourself and stay focused on what you need to do. I believe in you!
Once you've set your 2008 goals, break them down into segments of 90 days at a time. I've talked about this before, because too much can change over an entire year and if you need to re-direct your 'sails', then you don't want to wait to long to do it.
Have you heard that when the space shuttle is launched into space, it's off-target 97% of the time, but they're constantly re-adjusting the direction, so that they can reach their destination.
Your business plan is also in constant fluctuation. You still have to stay focused on your vision, but the strategies you utilize may change from time to time during the year.
You need to constantly analyze the results of your activities. Are you getting the desired outcome? If not, what steps can you do to tweak in your strategy to improve your end results?
So before 2007 ends, please take the time to devise your plan for 2008, because if you don't, you'll be behind those who took the time to figure out what they need to do in 2008 to make it a banner year.
Remember, there's ALWAYS enough business to go around for those who work for it. We are in a land of abundance. If you're not getting the business you used to, then you need to look at what's not working (or what you're NOT doing) and change. You probably don't want to hear this, but there are newer agents, who are more tech-savvy than you, and they're ready to go out and take your market share away from you.
Now's the time to take a stand for yourself and your family.
