Clear and Simple

Ok, so the new year is here, and by this morning we are now all back to work.  What will be different for you this year?  What will it be that makes executing your business plan and attaining your goals as smooth as silk?

An Observation

During my years of mentoring and leadership, complication has been the biggest obstacle to realtors in their attempts to implementing their plan.  Many of us have a well written plan with clear details about it’s execution, and then our mind goes to work on us.  We just can’t help ourselves from over complicating things.  It’s almost as if we feel guilty with the reasonableness of it all and undeserving of success with something so simple.  And then there’s the tendency to want to abandon a plan when it doesn’t yield immediate results.  Over the past two years or so, as the landscape for realtors has so dramatically changed, that impulse has only gotten worse.

Complicated vs. Simple

For whatever reason, the more we look at the simplicity of our plan, the more our instincts want to tell us that it has to be more complicated for us to succeed. 

On the contrary, complication leads to:

• Feeling overwhelmed
• Frustration
• Inertia
• Resentment
• Withdrawal
• Surrender

The Remedy

The cure for such impulses is as clear and simple as the plan itself can be.  The difference between success and lack thereof, in any business,  is not as much in the creativity of the plan as it is the execution.  In 2012 there are a lot of options in your quest to generate prospects. 

 Keep it simple; slow and steady wins the race.
