Welcome to Fall! After such a hot and dry summer, fall has hit us hard with much lower temperatures and one of the wettest Septembers on record. We hope that you have gotten back into the rhythm of fall with school back in session, sports in full swing, a multitude of activities to attend, and don't forget this week started new episodes of our favorite TV shows. And...the NFL refs are coming back!!
I attended a class last week hosted by our lender, which focused on business planning for next year already! It was a shock to start thinking about next year, but in order to prepare it is essential. Have you begun planning for next year? Are you good about extablishing goals and committing them to writing? A study once found that over 90% of people accomplished their goals when they were clearly written down and broken down into small tasks. What would your life look like if you accomplished 90% of what you wanted to do?
A coach of mine calls these 'shoulds'. I should do this and I should do that. He asked me to write down 100 'shoulds'. I had to work hard to come up with 100, but eventually was able to do so. After 1 year, I re-visited the list to find that over 80% of my 'shoulds' were completed. That brings up another thought, what would happen if you could dream a goal and you knew that you couldn't fail? What would that goal be? What would happen if you started approaching that goal as if you couldn't fail? In what ways would your life be different? What is the worst that could happen if you didn't accomplish your goal? I'm curious to know what your dream goal is. Would you share your dream goal with me if I shared my dream goal with you?
My dream goal or Ultimate Scenario is to be able to send both Ana & Natalia to Notre Dame by having a business so strong, which creates raving fans by providing magical service to clients that we are able to help 50 clients each year buy, sell, or build a new home. Additionally, my dream goal is to have our systems so tight and have help with our clients, which allows Brigid and me to travel to Europe for 6-weeks, which is our dream vacation. I have already written this goal down and broken it down into small steps and am on my way to accomplishing it. The most important thing is that I can visualize myself having accomplished this goal. I know what it looks like and how I feel having accomplished it. That is my dream goal. Everyone has a different one. What is yours?
