Ideas - Hints : Goal Setting ESTABLISH YOUR GOALS WHAT IS A GOAL?
| A Goal is a Dream
taken Seriously | | Many people strive
for goals that are way off in the future. They are unhappy day to day because
they cannot satisfy their long term goals. The disappointment in not reaching
these goals often causes negativity. This negativity shows up in their career,
their relationships, their life. Goals or dreams may be physical, financial,
career, spiritual, mental, social or relationship or family orientated. Setting
and reaching your goals, attaining your dream, is a skill. There is a formula
but you have to be '"serious" about it. It may not be easy, but make
it firm, exciting and a challenge. Ask yourself "Is it my goal, my dream?
Am I doing this to satisfy someone else's dream or expectation? Is it fair to
all? Can I physically and emotionally commit myself to achieve my dream?" One
of the goals of this program is to demonstrate a set of strategies, survival strategies,
to deal with most situations and possible complications that may arise. With the
ever quickening rate of change and escalating quality and volume of the competition,
these sales people and businesses which are properly prepared will be handsomely
rewarded. Those that are not committed or are under prepared will rapidly exit
the Real Estate profession. Why not set yourself realistic, short term goals
that link in with your long term goals and reward yourself as you succeed. Your
long term goals will come around a lot quicker and you will be happier and more
motivated day to day. To quote the late John Lennon : "Life is what
passes you by when you are busy making other plans". Don't waste
your life waiting for long term plans to come to fruition. Ask yourself "what
am I going to do with the rest of my life?" Concentrate on the process
and the result will take care of itself of goal setting.

goals - your dreams. Create a conscious awareness of them. | | Write
them down | commit yourself to a written plan and a realistic
fulfillment date. | | Think | about
your feelings such as fear, confidence, rejection, the "what ifs". |
| Select | and develop
the most appropriate strategies. | | Implement | your
strategies. | | Evaluate | monitor
your productivity. If certain aspects are not working, re-assess the strategy,
review your work methods, timing, targets. Analyse your skills, re-plan
and commence the process again. | | Celebrate | and
share your achievements. | If you are not making the progress
you would like and are capable of, it is usually because your goals are not clearly
defined.

| Developing a Plan
and Strategy | | So many Real Estate
people invest innumerable hours, effort, capital and resources on the wrong strategies.
Strategy is everything. History abounds with the "underdog" emerging
successful because of a superior commitment and the correct plan and strategy. A
plan with the correct strategy is your compass. Where you are headed is more important
than how fast you are going. As Stephen Covey said: - "Many people
spend a lifetime climbing a wall and upon reaching the top, find they have climbed
the wrong wall!" Once you have focused on your goals, the plan
can be written, activated, monitored and evaluated and amended if required. A
business plan is a blueprint of what you hope to achieve in business and how you
intend to go about achieving it. It needs to be sufficiently detailed to provide
a picture of what you are doing, yet flexible enough to be updated as business
changes.
