In order to create a plan that will enhance your quality of life you must first decide what is REALLY important to you. Most people's priorities have nothing to do with what they want (or their values) but rather what they just must do or need to do to simply catch up with all the events that are going on in their hectic lives.
Many real estate agents fail to act on one essential truth - they are a business.
If you are having trouble articulating your goals or determining how you should structure your business, this document may be just what you need to determine what you need to do daily, weekly, monthly, or annually in your business for lead generation, follow-up, or quality of life.

This template will help you review your Big Successes, Big Wins, Small Wins, and Obstacles Overcome.
Our topic is The Power of No: Developing Rules in Your Business. Many agents have a difficult time setting boundaries and saying, "No." Wouldn't you like to gracefully be able to say no to commission cutting, no to sellers wanting to list their overpriced listing, or no to covering floor duty on a shift that never sees traffic? Would you like to learn a formula that allows you to say "no" while still leaving everyone feeling good? Once you learn this formula, you wouldn't believe how easy it is to set boundaries!

Listen on for strategies on how to make this actually happen so that you can take control of your quality-of-life.
Rules and systems can make your business and personal life so much better. We are going to talk about the basic systems that everyone should have in their real estate business, how to stay on track, and the rules that you must have to create balance.
