We would like to thank those of you who have a been watching our videos over the past year! We hope you found the information we shared useful!

Since the year is about over, many people are starting to think about how they're going to make 2015 their best year yet. Whether it's your career, your family, your health, or something else that is important to you, the start of a new year is the perfect time to set goals to improve different aspects of your life.  

At the end of the year, we sit down and go through a strategic plan for our business and our lives. Today, we want to share a few helpful tips that help us through the process.

An important document we use is called the Wheel of Life. It has eight different categories that represent different areas of your life. They include: social life, work, exercise, creativity/alone time, learning, partner, volunteering/community, and family. The idea is to rate yourself from 1 to 10 in each category to see how balanced your life is.

Once you've identified which areas in your life need the most work, you can improve them by focusing on three questions:

  1. What kind of results are you trying to create?
  2. What results have you produced in the past?
  3. What action are you going to take and how do you prepare?

We've found that this strategy is an effective way to set and achieve goals, both professional and personal. Always remember, being a Realtor® is about more than business - it's about our health, spirituality, finances, and many other facets that make up our lives.

We hope these tips help you set meaningful goals and assist you in accomplishing them throughout 2015. If you have any questions about this exercise, or have questions about growing your business in the new year, don't hesitate to give us a call. We would love to hear from you!
