Is success achieved by trading your family for money? Is success achieved by trading your health for dollars? True and lasting success is accomplished by creating balance in all areas of life and adding wealth to all these accounts on a daily basis. Success is living today with all the zeal, gusto, and zest that you can pack into a 24-hour period of life we have today. Success is clearly not a destination but a daily journey we undertake every day.
Here are seven steps toward success from Dirk Zeller of Real Estate Champions. Use this as a basis for your 2010 business and marketing plan:
Step No. 1. You must first decide what you want. The truth is we can have anything we desire in life. If your vision is clear, you are assured that you will get there. The problem is we do not have a clear vision and set enough goals. We do not take the time to create the vision.
Step No. 2: Your goals must be written. Success begins when you grab the pen and paper (or your computer) and craft your ideal life. Successful people think on paper before they act. You must take the time to write your success plan and your goals down on paper.
Step No. 3: Create a time frame for your goal or vision. Set a target for when you'll accomplish it. You have to get your mind in motion to achieve it by a certain time. Without a timeline, you have no goal, you only have a wish. Wishes will only cause frustration.
Step No. 4: Create a list of the series of activities you must do for you to achieve your vision or your goal. As your motivation increases, the better you can clearly write out this series of activities. People will often not take the time to create the list. Planning a vision or goal completely through to create small bite size pieces makes it easier to digest. Successful people evaluate the situation and elicit help and create a plan to lighten the load on all. They then have everyone dive in and begin accomplishing things in bite size pieces.
Step No. 5: Re-check the series of activities to insure they are in the proper order. Organize this into a comprehensive step-by-step plan to achieve the vision or the goal. You need to start with the important and move to the least important. Do not delay, begin the most important item today. Do not move on to another item till you complete the most important item first. There is an order to all activities and tasks. Spend the time planning to create it.
Step No. 6: Don't allow procrastination to set in. The key is to start the momentum today. A primary law of physics is a body in motion will tend to stay in motion. Do not delay getting your body in motion.
Step No. 7: Keep the body in motion daily. Don't neglect to do something daily that moves you closer to your vision or your goal. Constantly ask yourself is this activity I am doing now moving me closer to or further away from my goal?
Once you're moving forward, your vision or goal can stay in motion with a smaller amount of effort. If you apply these seven steps to your real estate business, you can accomplish any amount of sales you choose to do. The truth in life is you are the one who does the choosing. The market, competition, and interest rates do not effect your choice or outcome. You are the one that does the choosing, so choose wisely.
