Set your mind. Make the commitment. Put in the work.
All I’ve been thinking about over the past 11 days going into 2021. My determination is to wake up early at 6am, make my coffee, check the market and do some reading. Exercise has always been an important aspect of my life. The next few steps are to put exercise in my first priority. With this cold misty weather, we all want to sleep in or snooze for 10 or 30 minutes more. A two or three mile runs can be easily done within the those snoozed times.
Yesterday I went on a hike with a friend, a cohort, that turned into more like a bootcamp deep hike, pulls up and rock lifting. Tom has been one of those guys who is always reinventing himself with new ideas, new motivation and new plans. We had discussions about businesses, current works and what we can do to be better. The benefits of having a cohort to exercise with:
- keep each other accountable
- share thought provoking ideas
- help each other challenge
The pandemic takes a huge toll at businesses including commercial real estate. Adapting to the new norm and the way of conducting business, we continues to push and challenge ourselves. As a commercial real estate advisor, here are some questions I ask myself.
- What’s your goal for 2021?
- What are the lead metrics behind that goal?
- Who’s going to hold you accountable to those goals?
Some of the obvious plannings would come down to asking yourself how to achieve those goals.
- How many deals do you need to transact to hit your financial goals
- How many opportunities do you need to convert?
- How many meetings do you need to have?
- How many conversations do you need to have?
- How many calls do you need to make? 6: How many letters and messages do you need to send?
Now, the hard part is the doing and keeping track of the works. Truly, the hardest part is to keep yourself accountable. One phone call or one online message can shift the entire schedule. And you don’t want that to happened.
