2009 is going to be a good year!

2009 is going to be a good year!

Wow, it isn't even here yet and 2009 is already looking to be a good year! Staying busy over the holidays is starting to pay off! Yet another one of my listings went under contract in under 30 days! (not trying to brag or anything but.... OH YEAH!) ;)

I have a bunch of business lined up to start my year off right. What it can be attributed to is, essentially, my inability to sit still! Here is a list of how I kept busy.

  • Any business that didn't HAVE to be put off, wasn't. (Hence how I was able to get one of my listings under contract on Christmas eve, and I still was able to spend time with my family!)
  • I worked on my reactive/proactive marketing pieces. (JoAnna Siminerio wrote a great post on this entitled "Be an Active Pro by being "Pro"Active")
  • I reorganized my business (Office, desk, files, computer files, etc.)
  • Probably the most important one was that I established my goals and physically wrote them out (it's not enough to just think them). For more on Goal setting read my post on it entitled "The Importance Of Goal Setting--Make it Your Goal to Set Goals"
When it comes down to it, I don't think what I did is really as important as the fact that I did. I didn't hold still, I kept on keepin' on, and now it's paying off.

... So what did you guys do for the holidays?
