Ah the pain of writing Goals for your real estate business
About writing goals:
Try this - instead of writing a list of things that will eventually stress you out every time you look at them :
I will do 10 deals this year.
I will make $350,000 in 2005.
And come March, you cannot even bear to look at it anymore.
Now try this technique that I learn from John Carltons last night, tried it and it worked fabulously well for me:
Write a letter to yourself, dated one year from now and talk about all the things that you have accomplished. Very powerful to visualize that you have already achieved what you wanted in your life.
So instead of above, it goes something like,
“Dear Mark, is it not great that you just bought a 100 unit apartment complex without putting $1 out of your pocket?”
I wrote a letter to myself about business, education, personal and vacation goals and truth be told this is the first time I have written a goals sheet that I felt really good about. Took me 20 minutes to do so. It felt a little strange when i started writing it but after five lines it was flowing like magic.
Try it!
