Commercial Division – In my many years of Real Estate I have found that when I had an opportunity to list or find something in the commercial world it was best for me to refer it to those who know what they are doing. I had a MUCH better chance getting a referral check than trying to do it on my own. NOW Classic has your source for commercial business.

I HAVE A DREAM…. TO HELP YOU ACHIEVE YOUR GOALS!
Today’s post focuses on going from a Dream to a Goal.
A Harvard Buisness School study found:
83% of the population do not have any clearly defined goals
14% have goals, but not written down
3% of the population have goals that are written down
The study concluded that the 3% that did have written goals were earning an astounding 10 times that of the 83% group. In addition, similar studies have shown that indivuals with written goals aslo tend to have better health and happier marriages than those without goals.
The power of written goals is indisputable.
That’s pretty good testimony to why we should write down our goals.
Here’s a little technique I think you’ll find helpful. Too often, people have dreams, but not goals. A goal not written down is just a dream. However, I know you’re a goal-setter and you strive to achieve more. Here’s how to take that to the next level:
Find a magazine, a photo, or some depiction of your goal. Perhaps it is a new car, a new rental property, a vacation home, etc. Tape this picute on the left side of your bathroom mirror. Your achievement of this goal is going to take many little goals. For example, a certain production for the year, which equates to a certain production per month, which equates to a certain producaiton per day. To make that certain production, it will take a certain amount of prospecting, networking, phone calls, appointments, etc. Take these mini-goals and put them on the left side of your mirror.
After all of the mini-goals are achieved, you can move the picture of your big goal to the right and go purchase your BIG GOAL item!
I’ve seen this work for people to remove their debt also. The mini-goals are differnt credit cards and as they knock them out, they cross out the money amoount (or the picture of the credit card) and put the post it on the right.
Having your goal in front of you on a daily basis helps you to stay on the right path and keeps the top-of-mind awareness that is necessary to achieve big goals. I’ve achieved a watch, a car, and a rental property with this goal setting mechanism.
Now go take some Post-It’s and mess up those mirrors!
