If you want to develop healthy habits the easiest way is to start with clarity first thing in the AM!

That's why I put together this Perfect Day Planner together for you!

A while back I was struggling with time management. Do you ever feel like there's not enough hours in the day? That's how I felt. Every day.

My smart Coach (Anna Gibbs 😉) told me I needed to get control of my schedule and that would involve getting clarity first thing in the morning.

You see, I wasn't setting priorities for the day so I was just doing whatever was coming at me, and when you have a lot of stuff coming at you it's easy to get bogged down with non productive busy work.

I developed this daily sheet and committed to filling it out first thing in the AM (along with writing in my business journal and reading 10 pages from a business book).

Yes I had to get up 30 mins earlier than before, but Anna also reminded me that if you look at the schedules of the most successful business people in the country, they start with rising before the sun and everyone else to get ahead of the day.

If they could do it, why couldn't I?

What happened next? My business doubled. I was able to provide a higher level of coaching to the agents that I'm partnered with! AND I felt much more balanced during the day, even though I was actually busier than ever!

Now I am sharing my Perfect Day Planner with you.

Try it out for a week and then another one.

I promise it will help you stay on track to hit your 2020 Goals!

I wanted to share this Model with you today and talk a little bit about the range of Zones we can go through while dealing with the Covid-19 Crisis.

Here's the truth: You might have found yourself in each one of these zones at different times over the past 4 weeks. I know I have, and that's ok.

They key though, is to be cognizant of these different zones so that you can make the conscious choice as to which Zone you choose to be in.

So, what zone will you chose to be in today?

If you're in the Comfort or Fear Zone, what are 3 things you can do today to move from there and into the Learning and Growth Zone?

What is one new skill you can master?
What is one thing on your to-do list that you can accomplish? What is one podcast or audible book you can listen to that will allow you to grow your business this week?

You see, each day when we wake up we have a decision. We can decide to stay the same. Or we can decided to grow.

I hope today you decide to Grow!

Do you have written affirmations? Do you have both personal and business affirmations?

If yes, how often do you say them? What happens when they come true? Do you replace them with a stretch goal? Or remove them altogether?

I have affirmations that I say every day. It is a habit that I got into in my early 20s.

It started out with this daily affirmation "I make $50,000 per year and can pay all of my bills on time".

At the time I had just graduated from college and was $40k in student loan debt.

I was working as a paralegal making $12/hr. no vacation time, no health benefits and was driving a 1998 Purple Nissan Sentra that had 220k miles on it.

I calculated that if I only made $50,000 I could afford all of my bills and be able to move out of my parents' house.

I said this over and over and over again - in the morning, before bed, on my lunch break, during work.

I also started applying to new, better jobs - because, after all, just saying an affirmation won't make it magically come true.

It took me a year and a half of applying to jobs before I landed a new one at a bigger law office.

That's a year and a half of repeating that affirmation over and over again.

I'll never forget the moment they told me the starting salary.... $50,000! On the dot!

I did a little dance in the parking lot of my job and promptly went in and gave my two weeks notice.

I 100% believe that I obtained that job because I was clear on my goal, knew the steps to take to get it and was persistent in my efforts (and trust me, applying for jobs for a year and a half really tested my patience).

But I also know that saying that affirmation over and over again sealed it into my mind as a non negotiable outcome.

Are you clear on your goals? Are you 100% committed to them? If you're not are they really you're goals? How can I help you get clear on your future?

Happy Sunday! How will you prepare for this coming week? This is what my Sunday Schedule looks like:

Every Sunday evening I take about 45-60 minutes to

1. Write down my goals for the week.
2. Write down how I am going achieve them.
3. A brain dump of a to do list.
4. Time block lead generation.
5. Schedule Facebook Marketing posts for the week.

This allows me to have a certain level of ease going in to the week.

Social media taken care ✅
Game Plan ✅
Clear Mind ✅

Make Sunday your Jam 🎉

Why did you really get your real estate license? Was it because you love sales and homes? Or is it because you wanted to build a business that can fund your perfect life?

What does the life of your dreams look like? Do you have 1 year, 5 year, 10 year goals set? Do you have them written down somewhere you can see them frequently?

We all have a comfort zone that is made to protect us but we also know that to grow in our business or personal life that you have to grow your mind past what is comfortable.

If you do what you always did, then you'll get what you always got!

What's one thing you can do to expand past your comfort zone this week?

Successful people focus on the activities that move their business forward and systematize, automate and eventually delegate the administrative tasks that are involved with selling Real Estate.

So, I have to ask...

What does your schedule look like? Are you spending your day working in your business or on your business? Do you know the difference?

What is the one thing that you can add into your schedule this week that will move your business forward?

💥A goal broken down into steps becomes a PLAN

Planning on building out your referral network or to attend networking mixers? It's an inexpensive way to build your database. Not sure what to say to people? Focus on THEM with these questions (note: where it says "widget" you replace that with whatever their business is):

💥“How did you get your start in the widget business?”

💥“What do you enjoy most about your profession?”

💥“What separates you and your company from the competition?”

💥“What advice would you give someone just starting in the widget business?”

💥“What one thing would you do with your business if you knew you could not fail?”

💥“What significant changes have you seen take place in your profession through the years?”

💥“What do you see as the coming trends in the widget business?”

💥“Describe the strangest or funniest incident you’ve experienced in your business?”

💥“What ways have you found to be the most effective for promoting your business?”

💥“What one sentence would you like people to use in describing the way you do business?”

Bonus Question:

The One “Key” Question That Will Set You Apart From Everyone Else…
💥💥💥“How can I know if someone I’m speaking with is a good prospect for you?”
