I think I may move into motivational speaking and coaching. What is necessary for 2009 success. Your business plan (goals) and acitivity plan. Need a coach...call me. I know what I can do and what my ability can produce. I've been a business planner for Apple Computer in the Service Training Division and I deliver.
If you need an accountability coach...give me an email and your business plan and we can set up a 1/2 hour coaching plan to help you reach your goals. Your belief in yourself is key. I just hold you accountable to your own goals. I love business planning and improving business development. I have a complete commitment to your SUCCESS! I love connection! I am here to help with tacit learning in Real Estate and motivational coaching. I do it every day when I blog. I'm helping several people currently out of my area. Partner with someone you trust to hold you accountable. Loved ones can be a bit on the careful side. You would want to set some ground rules, however if you care about that person, you won't want to let them down.
Another agent in your office can partner with you to meet on an agreed upon time and go over your progress and any adjustments that need to be made. It's hard to hold yourself accountable....too easy to let it keep slipping away. I have and have had several accountability coaches and over the years and it has helped me. I've also partnered with other agents to help them. 2009 can be the year we just help each other. So if a half hour telephone conversation can help, then let's talk. When you realize that a phone call works, then it opens up the field of consideration to many people you know to help you. You may want to offer to be an accountability coach to someone you care about. Let's hope the year of 2009 is all about collaboration and helping each other move forward!
I was kidding about moving into motivational speaking and coaching. I'm not funny enough. We just had Rick Geha come to our Board and present a Business Planning session. He is a Broker and Owner of a Keller Williams office in Fremont, CA. He is a national motivational speaker. We laughed and laughed. He was so funny and very on target. I've been a business planner for many years and it's always good to hear it from another perspective and he was completely awesome! If you get the chance....do go see him.
