- Most people react to life rather than plan and achieve what it is that
they really want in life.
- It has been determined that 90% of people in the world are living lives
that they would rather not live.
They are unhappy doing what they are doing. They keep doing it because they the
known is more acceptable, desirable than the unknown.
|
|

|
- Most people in the United States go to school. They are trained to get along, not
make waves, exist and let be.
- Most graduate from high school, many are encouraged to go to college,
about 35% graduate with a college degree.
- The irony is that they generally have not consciously made a decision to
pursue a life long career in any given area that might be available.
|
|
4
|
- Most people simply become aware of a few opportunities where a person
can make a living. From that few
they make a decision to try one that looks like it could be interesting,
even enjoyable.
- The facts are they know very little about what it is they are going to
be doing for the rest of their lives.
- They continue doing what they chose to do, hoping tomorrow will be a
better day, perhaps bring some miraculous change that will lead them to
a future of great happiness and prosperity.
|

|
- More often than not a person runs into someone
they knew in school, and that someone asks “are you working?”,
they reply “no, I’m looking for a job.”
Their friend tells them about a job opportunity at the GM Plant,
they interview for the job, they get the job, they rarely know what the
job pays, or even what it is that they will be doing. They go home and tell the mom “I got a
job at GM”, the mom says “what will you be doing?” “I don’t know” they reply. “How much will you be making?” the mom
asks. “I don’t know, but of the
guys I know that work there do alright.”
|
|

|
- When they start the mysterious job, and get their unknown wage – they
begin looking around their new atmosphere and seek what they perceive to
be “the best thing, or job, for them” and they do what it is they think
is necessary to achieve what they perceive to be a desirable position.
- They often achieve the position, enjoy it for a year, maybe two, and
then they fall into a disgruntled, boring, apathetic life style that
they hate.
|
|
7
|
- Once settled into their new lifestyle they reluctantly get up in the
morning, go to a job they hate, come home and bitch at their family,
watch a T.V. show they don’t really like, and generally pass their days
on earth without much noticing what is going on, and suddenly retirement
day comes.
- They reluctantly retire from a job they never liked, to a retirement
they like even less, and somewhere between two and seven years they die,
and are laid to rest in a spot they never picked, reluctantly leaving a
life they never lived.
|
|
8
|
- Some people work their lives a little backward to the norm.
- They try and find out what it is that they want to achieve in life. When they arrive at a decision about
what they think they want in life, they find out what it is that they
have to do to achieve that, they do it, and it looks as if life is going
to be an enjoyable, exciting, trip to a happy future.
- In a year or two they begin falling into a dissatisfied state of life,
boredom, atrophy.
|
|
9
|
- The planning helped initially, they found something that looked like it
would work, something they could enjoy for their entire journey here on
earth, but something happened. It
wasn’t that anything really went wrong, it was just that some
undesirable apathy settled in, they no longer woke up in the morning
full of energy, wanting to get to their work as soon as possible, they
no longer planned their day the night before and could hardly wait for
morning.
|
|
10
|
- Some people found a better way.
They found a life full of interest, fun, and enjoyment. They had their share of problems and
disappointments but somehow they got through them, and maintained their
enthusiasm for life.
- When they go to bed at night they are still planning their tomorrows,
they still can’t wait to get to work in the morning, they still plan new
and better ways to achieve what it is that they have chosen, and
re-chosen to do with their lives.
|
|
11
|
- Most of us would like to live like that.
Most of us
would like to maintain a passion throughout our lives, most of us
would like to look forward to tomorrow with hope, wonderful plans,
excitement for our actions, and passion for what we are going to be
doing.
- Some people have discovered ways to stay enthusiastic about life, about
their activities, about the people they walk the earth with, about their
families, their friends, their ideas, and their futures. They stay enthusiastic at every
age. You’ve met them. What was it that they do? or did?
|
|
12
|
- Experts, successful happy people have found that they can find greater
success if they do a few simple things.
- Successful people have found that if they plan their lives they tend to
be more successful. They are more successful in many areas of life.
- They are more successful in their own minds, and they are more
successful in the minds of other people too.
- People around them are happier and more successful, they look forward to
all the different periods of their lives, they live all the periods of
their lives well. They like who
they are and they like where they are.
|
|
13
|
- When we start looking at life we find there are areas of life that we
can concentrate on, making definite, but changeable decisions that will
lead us to more successful, productive, happier, contributive lives.
- When we begin this journey it takes on many intrepid rides. Most are sure, all are contributive,
the main thing is that everything gets better, everything stays better,
and we find and achieve that life we were looking for all along.
|
|
14
|
- Health
- Spiritual
- Financial
- Family
- Recreational
- Educational
|
|
15
|
- When you attend to these six areas of life rationally, respectfully,
intelligently, enthusiastically, and religiously, (Spiritually) you will
meet with a success that you will never otherwise know.
- These six areas of life are like children. They need constant attention, constant
corrections, but more than any other thing, you must learn to enjoy
them.
|
|
16
|
- Without good health it is not likely that you will accomplish a great
deal in life. Still, being
realistic you have face the fact that some people do. If your dedication is intense enough
you can accomplish a great deal in poor health.
- Darwin wrote most of his theory’s while quite ill, resting three or four
hours just to write for one hour.
- While it’s possible to accomplish great things while you are in poor
health, it is highly unlikely.
|
|
17
|
- You need to explore health a little.
You have to find out enough about health to figure out the best
physical pattern for you to use with your body.
- For example, how much rest do you need, how long can you work mentally,
and be effective? How long can
you work physically and be effective?
- What can you do to improve the longevity of your mental and physical
efforts?
|
|
18
|
- Do you feel better, do you perform better, can you accomplish more if
you work out physically on a daily basis?
- Most people do feel better and accomplish more when they regularly
participate in some kind of physical exercise.
- The ideal exercise for you will have to be discovered by you. Trying any kind of physical exercise
will improve your mental faculties and your physical acuity.
|
|
19
|
- Health involves more than physical exercise.
- Diet is an important part of health, what you eat, what you don’t
eat. What chemicals you may, or
may not put into your body.
- Food supplements can be important, necessary, critical for some of
us. For others food supplements
seem to be unnecessary.
- If you are weak in any area of knowledge concerning these things, find
and hire an expert.
|
|
20
|
- When we explore health we want to cause our bodies to be in the most
productive form that they can be in.
- What is your ideal weight? How do
you achieve that weight? What
foods does your body perform best on?
How much sleep do you need?
Would you be more productive if you took naps? Do you need to physically exercise
periodically during the day, meditate, divert your attentions to amusing
things?
|
|
21
|
- All humans have a spiritual side to them.
- Spiritual expectations and necessities are not the same for all people.
- One person may need to go to church everyday.
- Another person may never go to church, may never need to go to church,
may not benefit by going to a church in any way.
- Some people have to get out into wilderness to reach their spiritual
side.
|
|
22
|
- Some people need to read good books, or poetry, or philosophy to achieve
their spiritual awareness.
- Some people need to quietly create things for their spiritual
fulfillment, paintings, communities, homes, other people.
- Some people have to find a belief in something. That something can be tangible or
intangible. I think the only
important thing about the belief is that it is not harmful for that
person or others.
|
|
23
|
- The important thing about a belief is that you have one. You have to have a belief in
something, or someone, or someplace. We know that people perform best
when they have a belief, a heart warming, deep seated belief in
something they are doing, going to do, or trust they are pre-destined to
do.
- Belief is a powerful facet in the life of a human, a deep seated
spiritual belief is an even more powerful success factor in the life of
a human.
|
|
24
|
- It would seem simple enough for each of us to realize that a strong,
determined belief is necessary if we are to achieve the maximum performance in our lives.
- Finding that driving spiritual belief may be more difficult for some
than others.
- Remember, as you grow, you can change your spiritual direction and
goals.
- Find a Spiritual area for yourself, no matter what it is, if it fills
your spiritual needs it will work well.
|
|
25
|
- Financial achievement is elementary.
If you don’t have money you will have more problems than if you
do have money.
- How you feel about your financial achievements is critical to your
happiness and future achievement.
If financial success is necessary at all costs, you have found
your god in life.
- If on the other hand your financial goals are part of the means to
achieve your other five goals or
areas in life then your financial goals are realistically part of your
total life, your happiness, and your overall success.
|
|
26
|
- Most of us should conclude that our financial goals are only part of a
great picture that we are painting in this life.
- Know that your financial goals are necessary, important, and almost
impossible to live without finding a successful balance with the other
five areas of life.
- Your financial goals should be supportive of your overall goals. Financial goals only are self
defeating.
|
|
27
|
- Most people need a family. Most
people function best when they have a supportive family that they can
relate to, want to be a part of, and participate regularly in.
- Many of us get lost in that we feel there are certain things that we owe
our family, if that happens to be support, we interpret that as monetary
support, but we may be short on psychological support, or showing love,
or praising, or elevating.
|
|
28
|
- Do you have a husband or a wife who at one time in your life you had to
be with every second that you possibly could In the early part of your
relationship you couldn’t wait to see them, five hours with them went in seconds. You couldn’t stand a day without them,
but now you take them so for granted you don’t even talk to them much
anymore, your relationship is so full of uncomfortable memories that a
conversation would only bring up things you would rather not talk about
or think of ?
|
|
29
|
- A child comes home from school with four “A” ’s and a “B” – our reaction
is “why did you get a “B”, when we know if we would concentrate on
praising the “A” ’s, the child would work more diligently on the area of
the “B”.
- Being realistic, sometime enjoying the child is the best A we will ever
get. Einstein wasn’t an A
student, Edison was thought to be a dunce.
- Perhaps there are talents and gifts that we are not aware of.
|
|
30
|
- Time, quality time, quality interpreted by the receiver, not the giver,
is usually the best gift we can give the family.
- It is easy to get into a mental stance of believing since we have
provided the best cars, houses, schools, and plenty of money the family
should be more than satisfied with our efforts.
- People need many things, our family needs many things, things that only
we can offer. Are we giving,
offering what that member of our family needs, or are we offering what
we want to give.
|
|
31
|
- People, particularly children like predictable, pre-determined
activities, stability, things that they can count on at regular
intervals.
- You can be at dinner every night and still work nights.
- You can go to church, or for a hike, or to the park, every Sunday at a
certain time and your family will benefit more than if you supply them
with a more than generous living.
|
|
32
|
- What would you do if one day you came home and that person was
gone? Would you be happy that
day, would you be happy in a week, a month?
- That day will come when that person will somehow be gone, be out of your
life. What will you do then?
- Is there a way you can revive the feelings you once had? If you loved that person at one time
could you love them with the same intensity again?
|
|
33
|
- What does your family contribute to you?
What do you contribute to your family?
- If you were contributing more to your family, what I mean by more, is if
you were contributing more to your family in such a way that your family
was contributing more to the areas of your life, would everyone
benefit? Would you lose more or
would you gain more?
- What is the function of your family in relationship to your life, what
is your function in relation to your families life?
|
|
34
|
- Is your family the driving force of your ambitions? The psychological
anchor of your existence? Is your
family the dragging weight that keeps you from accomplishing what you
feel you must accomplish in life?
- Are you there for a reason, or are you there because you haven’t found
someplace else to be?
- Is that where you should really be but you have forgotten how to
positively contribute to your family.
|
|
35
|
- When you come home are you a welcome addition that brings happiness to
everyone, that makes the other members of the family realize their great
worth to the family and to the world? Or;
- When you come home does everyone run to a safe area of the home in hopes
of avoiding your wrath, your terrible affect on everyone in the family.
- Is your family ecstatic when you go to work, or do they stand in the
driveway and wave good bye hoping you’ll be home early that night?
|
|
36
|
- Family is an important part of your life. Are you a part of the right
family? Should you be in another
family?
- Are you ignoring your family in such a way that you are missing one of
the most important things that will ever happen to you in your lifetime.
- Do you appreciate the wonderful gifts that the various members of your
family possess? Do you help
develop those wonderful gifts? Do
you tell that member how important they really are?
|
|
37
|
- The root of the word recreation should give us a hint of its
importance. The word means to
Re-Create, make over, begin again.
- It means to renew your real purpose in life, to re-evaluate what you
have done, what you are doing, and decide to commit to those proposals
again.
- It is meant to clear the mind. To enable the mind to come up with new
thoughts and better ways.
- Recreation is an extremely important part of a successful life.
|
|
38
|
- In the bible, even God recreated on the 7th day. The book says he rested. Now rest is an elective thing in
reality. You may want to do
nothing, but your recreation may involve Golf, or Flying, or Skiing, any
of a number of things. You may
like to watch movies all day, or read.
It doesn’t matter what your method of recreating yourself is. It only matters that you use it in a
faithful way.
- Recreating keeps you from burning out.
From getting so tired of doing the same thing that you don’t do a
good job anymore, but getting away from what you do, so that, you will
come back to do a better job.
|
|
39
|
- Recreation can take man forms;
- 1. You should have weekly recreation sufficient to
make a new you for another week.
- 2. You should have a monthly recreational goal. Maybe a weekend or two days of doing
something that you love, the
object of this is to give you something to look forward to once
each month.
- 3. You should have quarterly recreation.
You should have
something that you have set aside to do every three months. A long weekend with your significant
other is good. This is your
quarterly respite.
- 4. You should have an annual recreational goal. This could be a
vacation that you have been wanting to participate in.
|
|
40
|
- The plan on the last plate gives you a weekly ending benchmark, a
monthly ending benchmark, a quarterly recreational respite, and finally
you have something to look
forward to on an annual basis.
- When you are performing at a maximum potential for you, you will need
these breaks to look forward to, particularly when things are especially
displeasing.
|
|
41
|
- Within your recreational goals you can have monetary goals. If you are playing golf, you may want
to get some new golf clubs. If
you are flying airplanes you may want to buy your own airplane. The recreational endeavors, the
hobbies you enjoy, offer the opportunity for you to buy things for
yourself that you have always wanted.
- This is another method of rewarding yourself for accomplishing desirable
goals, and causing you to have a more successful, rewarding life.
|
|
42
|
- A caution with recreational goals is that if you are approaching burnout
you may overdo your recreation.
What I mean by that is if you take up golf, and you are
approaching burnout, you may want to play golf day and night. This is wrong of course. This is a sign that you waited too
long to practice your recreational goals and skills.
- If you are overdoing something, take notice and see if you can control
it. If you can’t control it
you’ll have to abandon that recreation and choose something more
reasonable.
|
|
43
|
- Recreation should be structured so that it intertwines with the other
five areas of your life.
- For example, if you play golf, it could include your significant other
and your children. The important
thing here is that the other members of your family are enjoying the
effort too. Not just trying to
spend time with you.
- Recreation can be entwined with family, education, health goals,
financial goals, and health goals.
The important thing with recreational goals is that you are
renewing your spirit. That you
come through your recreation with a new fervor for your other
activities, particularly your work.
|
|
44
|
- Educational goals at this level in your life are efforts that are aimed
at your occupational and financial goals, your family goals, your
recreational goals, your spiritual goals, and your health goals.
- Interestingly as you learn more and more in life you find that learning
is a kind of circle. When you
become proficient at a task or skill it often sets the ground work for
you to become proficient in other areas that are important for you.
|
|
45
|
- You may take a class is Sociology for recreational purposes and find
that you have began to understand the socio-economic forces that gather
to increase values in a certain neighborhood. You carry that to your
real estate hobby or profession and you find yourself buying real estate
that is appreciating very rapidly because you recognized the propensity
for that real estate to increase in value because of your educational
goals, and your Sociology class.
|
|
46
|
- You may find that the same basic skill that involves concentrating on a
target and rifle sights when target practicing is similar to the skills
involved when you are negotiating a business transaction, or an
apartment building.
- With education and learning, you will hopefully discover that all
learning skills are entwined and useful in other areas.
- Many people never realize this association. Look for it. It is there, you will discover it, it
will be very helpful to you.
|
|
47
|
- When you set goals you must be as detailed as you can be. Not as someone else can be, but as you
can be.
- If you set a financial goal for $400,000 a year, you must decide if you
want that to be Gross or Net.
Assuming that it is Net, you will have to decide how many hours
you want to work a week, but also how much money you will have to earn
each hour.
|
|
48
|
- For example, there are 52 weeks in a year. If you want to net $400,000 a year,
you will have to net $7,692 a week.
This can be from whatever sources you want it to be. This can be from commissions only,
from appreciation of property and commissions, it can be from other
business services that you have other people running, who you pay on a
weekly basis. First find out how
much you will have to make weekly, daily, hourly and so on. Make it seem achievable.
|
|
49
|
- $400,000 a year means you have to;
- Earn $7,693 a week
- Earn $1,099 a day
- Earn $46 an hour twenty four hours a day
- Earn 76¢ a minute
- Earn 1.28 ¢ a second.
- That seems like a large goal, may initially seem impossible. The only thing I can promise you about
goals is when you have accomplished them you will wish you had set them
higher. They are never grand
enough.
|
|
50
|
- This $400,000 a year would involve the following if you were working on
commissions;
- If you were working on a 3% commission base that you were splitting
80/20 with a broker, you getting 80% and the brokerage getting 20%, and
you covering your costs.
- Let’s say that your costs of doing business was 25% of every dollar that
you earned.
|
|
51
|
- $400,000 would have to be divided by
80% to find what you are going to pay your broker. If you were
pay 25% for your business expenses, your $400,000 would represent 55% of
what you would have to earn. If
you divide $400,000 by 55% you will come up with $727,273. you would pay your broker
$145,455 and your expenses would be $181,818, leaving you with $400,000.
|
|
52
|
- This changes your original picture.
You have to adjust. Most
people just give up in discouragement.
Now you have to earn $727,273 or;
- $60,606 a month
- $13,986 a week
- $1,198 a day
- $83.25 an hour
- $1.39 a minute
- 23¢ a second
|
|
53
|
- If you are working commissions only how much would you have to sell a
year?
- On a 3% base you would have to sell $24,242,425 a year. If the average sale of a piece of
property is $500,000 in your area of expertise you will have to sell 49
such properties.
- That is an achievable goal. There
are many people who are doing that.
Usually they are doing that with a Real Estate Team that they
have created.
|
|
54
|
- You decide that to achieve your goal you will need to write it down,
post it in your bedroom, in your shower, on your refrigerator, on the
dash board of your car. You need
to look at that monetary goal at least 5 times a day.
- What you have to do now is decide what you are going to do on a daily
bases. What time are you going to
get up. What are you going to do.
- You will want to list the possibilities for sales and listings.
|
|
55
|
- You decide that you will get up every morning at 6:00 a.m. – that has to
be a good time for you not a good time for someone else.
- You will work out for one hour, aerobics three days a week and weights
three days a week, your recreational day you won’t work out.
- You will immediately shower, while in the shower you will go over your
goals which are laminated and hanging in the shower for your to view as
you are waking up.
- You should then have something light to eat. Real estate is a getting fat business.
|
|
56
|
- List some things you can do to sell real estate;
- Call some expired listings.
- Find some for sale by owners and call them.
- Go over your client list call at least 10 of them.
- Send out some thank you notes, at least 10.
- Look at the new listings that have come out today, go look at them, try
and figure out who you could sell them to.
- Look at listings for your buyers.
|
|
57
|
- List some things you can do to sell real estate;
- Take a client to lunch.
- Go back to the office, make 10 more calls to your farm area.
- Go door knocking for one hour.
- Follow up on any escrows that you have going.
- Check any old listings that expired, see if the seller may want to sell
again.
- Try and attend an evening meeting like a Rotary, or Kiwanis meeting.
|
|
58
|
- It should be about 8:00 a.m. now, you will review your day and again go
over your goals; what are you about?
Who are you? Why are you on earth? What is your mission today? This hour? This minute?
- What is your first task in the morning?
Probably you are going to look up expired listings and use your
expired listing dialogue on them, make an appointment to take a look at
their property.
|
|
59
|
- You attack your morning tasks and just after lunch you go over your
goals again. Who are your? What are you about? What will you do next? What is the most important thing for
you to do now?
- It is important that you develop some Affirmations. Affirmations are sayings that you
like, that mean something to you, that affirm what you are doing what
you are about.
- Use what affirmations work for you.
If your religious use some religious affirmations.
|
|
60
|
- It should be about 8:00 a.m. now, you will review your day and again go
over your goals; what are you about?
Who are you? Why are you on earth? What is your mission today? This hour? This minute?
- What is your first task in the morning?
Probably you are going to look up expired listings and use your
expired listing dialogue on them, make an appointment to take a look at
their property.
|
|
61
|
- Your Goals must be foremost on your mind. You must have them visible to you and
you must review them daily. You
should review them upon awakening, when your fully awake, again at noon,
at six in the afternoon, and again before retiring.
- 1. Immediately Upon Awakening
- 2. Again when your fully awake
- 3. At Noon
- 4. At 6:00 in the evening
- 5. Just before retiring
|
|
62
|
- Affirmations are extremely important.
Affirmations are sayings, like mantras that we repeat over and
over again to overcome our fatigue and discouragement, to encourage us,
to remind us who we are and what we are about.
- Some affirmations can be;
- “I can do it.”
- “This is my destiny.”
- “This is God’s will for me.”
|
|
63
|
- “This is for me.”
- “I’m on track.”
- “Inch by inch my life's a cinch.”
- “Mile by mile with a smile.”
- “Nothing can prevent my success.”
- “Daily I willingly do what it is I am destined to do.”
- “Each passing second gets me closer to
where I am supposed to be.”
- “I will not fail to succeed, I cannot fail to succeed.”
|
|
64
|
- It should be about 8:00 a.m. now, you will review your day and again go
over your goals; what are you about?
Who are you? Why are you on earth? What is your mission today? This hour? This minute?
- What is your first task in the morning?
Probably you are going to look up expired listings and use your
expired listing dialogue on them, make an appointment to take a look at
their property.
|
|
65
|
- Each day you keep doing the things that successful people do. Over and over, without fail you repeat
your pattern, your schedule, day in day out, then suddenly one day
you’ll find a buyer and they’ll buy, you’ll find a seller and they’ll
sell.
- You reaffirm this is what you do, this is what you are about. You are succeeding.
- You must not let yourself get discouraged at this point.
|
|
66
|
- You must begin to hang around the most successful people you can find
that are doing what it is that you want to do.
- There is a world of negative people out there that will drag you down
with them and you won’t even have to ask.
- Successful people are doing successful things, watch them, listen to
them, follow them, imitate them, keep doing what they do.
|
|
67

- Expect to get discouraged, expect to find fear, expect to feel like your
lost without direction. Your
affirmations will pull you out of these ruts, hanging around productive
people will help you get out of these ruts.
- Exercise is essential, critical, you will be under enough pressure that
if you don’t work out your muscles will bunch up on you, cramp up and
you’ll need chiropractors, muscle relaxants, tranquilizers, the
works. The one thing you have to
do is stay healthy.

- By now your day is over. You will
have to go over your goals again at 6:00 p.m. – go over them in detail,
get excited about them, visualize your successful self enjoying yourself
because of your ability to have planned these goals, pursued them, and
they have been actualized.
- Go over the things you have done well, go over the things that you could
have improved on, figure out how to improve on them, go over what you
did wrong, figure out how you are going to do them right.

- Write out your day for tomorrow.
Make a plan on a day timer or a daily schedule with a time line
on it. What time you are getting
up, why you will be excited about getting up, why you are excited about
what it is that you are doing.
- VISUALIZE – now you will want to visualize your life, visualize how you
are going to sleep tonight, how you are going to wake up in the morning,
happy, ready to work, ready to prospect, ready to find real estate for
buyers, get listings from sellers.
Visualize your day from moment to moment. Go to bed.

- You have that one thought.
- What is the thought you are going to awaken with?
- Fall asleep thinking of that one thought.
- Put a writing tablet and pen next to your bed.
- If you have any thoughts in the night write them down for the morning.

|
- Your day begins again.
- You should be looking forward to your days now.
- With each thing that you do, ask ”How is this helping me achieve my
goals?”
- For example; If you are exercising – “How does this exercising
help me achieve my goals?”
- If you are driving somewhere; - “Should I be driving myself, or could I
have addressed this as well on the phone, or could I have someone else
do it for me with equal or greater success?”
|
|
72
|
- Ask yourself;
- “Does this person help me achieve my goals?”
- “How do they help me achieve my goals?”
- “Is this person an uplifting person in my life?”
- “Am I a supportive, uplifting person in their life?”
- “Am I dragging them down by being with them?”
- “Are they dragging me down by being with them?”
- “Why am I with them?”

- A master mind group is a group of your peers, comprised of those in the
group who look like they are going to succeed, or who are already
successful.
- You should meet once each month, (more often, like once each week if
possible) the meeting should be about business.
- The meeting should be a breakfast meeting. This is the meeting that is the
easiest to attend on a constant basis.
|
|
74
|
- The content should be business.
- Techniques, preferably new to everyone except the presenter.
- Two rules are all I have used over the years. They are;
- 1. You have to come with a new idea, or an expanded idea for a more
productive life. It can be in
any of the six areas.
- 2. You have to be in a good mood.
If you are negative that day YOU MUST LEAVE THE MEETING.

- When your doing your late evening review decide what is the most
important thing for you to do tomorrow.
- If you decide that you have to get a listing, then decide where and whom
you will try and get the listing from.
- Immediately upon awakening and doing your normal things, shower, etc. –
you will put into place those things that will get you a listing the
quickest.

- If you wake up at 5:00 a.m. – workout, shower, eat a light breakfast,
and it is 7:00 a.m. and the people you need to get hold of would resent
a 7:00 a.m. call – you could check new listings, send e-mails to old
clients, new clients, people you know.
- You might want to work on letters that you have to go out.
- When 8:00 a.m. arrives are you still doing the “Most Important Thing?”
- When 9:00 a.m. arrives are you still doing the Most Important thing?”
|

77
|
- When you begin working on any part of a project, you should work until
you can’t work on it anymore, or something else becomes more important.
- For example if you are making cold calls. Keep cold calling until something
becomes more eminent, for example you have a 2:00 p.m. appointment. You prepare for you 2:00 p.m. appointment
at 8:00 a.m. – you are satisfied that you can carry the appointment
successfully. You start cold
calling, and you stop at 1:00, review what you will be doing at the 2:00
p.m. appointment and you go to the appointment.

- Tracking your progress should be hourly.
- Don’t let hourly tracking make a nervous wreck out of you – but check on
an hourly basis the things that you are doing.
- If your recreating, are you really recreating or are you worrying about
something at the office that you can’t do anything about anyway.
- If your recreating, recreate. If
your working, work. If your
enjoying your family, enjoy your family.
- The main thing to learn here is to do what it is that you are doing.
|
|
79
|
- Your efforts in life should make you happy. You should have a sense of fulfillment
each day.
- If you don’t feel satisfied, happy, about the things your are doing, the
things you are accomplishing, perhaps you need to be doing something
else, or have someone else do what it is that you are doing.

|
- Your imagination and self confidence is your only limitation.
- You can be your own worst enemy, or your own best friend.
- Best friend is probably better.
- Learn to know and like yourself.
You are the only one who will be with you for life.
