Mondays set the tone for almost everything I will do for the week. I sat down on Saturday evenings and look at all I got done in the past week. Then I start pick 30 things off my my monthly , yearly or 5 year goal plan that I know I can get done the next week. How and where do I come up with these 30 things.
In December I put together my yearly plan while adding to my 5 year plan. I look at the 5 faucets of my life, family, religion, work, health and hobbies. I look at my goal poster and see what I can do to get me closer to where I want to be. I know that I can't work on all faucets every minute of everyday.
At the first of the year I came up with goals in the 5 faucets and here they are 20 for family, 5 for religion, 100 for business, three for health and 10 for hobbies. Now to the average person that would look out of wack but no, no, no. See I know I have limits and work is a priority for me I do not feel quilty because work supplies the fuel for the rest of the faucets of my life.
So how is your year going so far, are you on track, headed in the right direction.

Eliminating Inefficiencies in your Real Estate Business - Times a Wasting for sure. When I was first starting out in real estate I would allow myself to procrastinate, putting off everything till the next day or further. I would allow agents to sit around my office and just shoot the bull all hours of the day. All the time I wasted. 
Then I had a Broker that said he could break me of that habit so he gave me one month to come up with the curriculum to teach a time management class. Boy did he ever.
I put together a course that broke the days into hours with 2 hours a day for prospecting, two hours for door knocking and walking neighborhoods. Later the walking neighborhoods was replaced with internet farming. But I started each day with a 3 x 5 card with 10 things to get done each and everyday. The plan was to complete the list everyday although I thought it would take 8 hours most times it would take twelve after a while I got it down to about 9 to 10 through planing use of time management.
I now use an iPad with the cloud, Docusign, evernote and daily planner to accomplish more and more each day. When I turn on my iPad up pops the top ten things I need to get done today.

One would think with the Real Estate market such an easy fix, Congress would just do it. I mean how many studies do you think it would take and money wasted to figure out, the banks need to lighten up on what it takes to get a loan. Trim the fat out of Fannie and Freddie by simple replacing anyone that got a bonus in the last 10 years. Get all the regulations out of the way and lock up any lobbyist that comes with a 100 mile radius of Fannie or Freddie offices. Put people that have actually worked in the mortgage business for 25 years or longer in charge of Freddie and Fannie, fire all the sweethearts that got jobs because they were owed a favor or knew someone.
The Federal Housing Finance Agency laid out steps to wind down the firms, largely by increasing fees to homebuyers. Read more.

Eliminating Inefficiencies in your Real Estate Business - starting with the Church
I go to Church most every Sunday and most of the time I go to a service at Olive Baptist at 9:30 and then to my regular church Smyrna Baptist for the 11 o’clock service. I really enjoy both churches; feel loyal to both pastors and the people there. Over 15 years of going to church here and up until two years ago I have never really ask for business. It comes up from time to time when the pastor has a real estate question or someone that knows me mentions it. But for the most part I thought that asking for business was liken to when Jesus emptied the temple of all the selling that was going on.
I mentioned this to pastor about two years ago and he laughed so hard I was embarrassed quiet honestly. I admit I am very smart about some thing’s, but at time naive and never claim to know something if I don’t. So he went on to say Charles, you do know that almost all work done here at the church is donated from professionals in hopes the word gets out and the congregation will call on them for a paying job. I have never really looked at it that way.
So after that I started wearing my logo shirts to all the appropriate outings such as when I served lunches or went to church socials or cut the grass. I also sponsor and advertise most of what is going on at the churches. Out of 4500 members and no telling how many Realtors that go there, I have averaged 23 sales a year from referrals or members, now that is not remarkable and no where near where I get most of my business but just think or put a pencil to the business lost over the last 13 years that I did not ask for business.
As a side note we use Docusign at the office and that along with our iPads, it is remarkable how our agents and customers have enjoyed these two things when added to the mix.
