I have found the secret to succes in 2023 and it is contained in the article below!
Here we are in the final quarter of 2022!
I hope that you have been having a good year in your business in spite of all that has gone on and is going on!
The latest “thing” that we have had to deal with is rising interest rates! Add that to inflation, Covid-19 and the mid term election hoopla and it’s understandable that you may be distracted!
I don’t want to add to the list of distractions, but it IS time to start thinking about next year!
Realistically, we only have a few more productive weeks before we run into the seasonal holiday slow down. So, for the next few weeks keep hammering at your business, BUT after Thanksgiving you REALLY want to get the 2023 plan figured out!
To help you get started, I have found a few resources to help you plan next year.
Head on over to Breakthrough Broker and take a peek at their 2023 Business Success Plan. They offer a fill in the Blanks PDF form for you use as well as a link to the YouTube Video covering how to plan your business.
If you are not familiar with Breakthrough Broker here is an excerpt from their About page:

Another great resource that I think will be really valuable in your planning process is one from zillow! I know that we love to hate zillow, and with good reason, BUT they do offer a lot of great FREE content for us real estate professionals!
Case in point, if you go to https://www.zillow.com/agent-resources/agent-toolkit/real-estate-business-plan-template/ you will find an excellent article on how to complete a business plan that also gives examples, something that many other business plan sites don’t do.
Here is the link to the actual fill in the blanks PDF that they refer to in the article: https://wp-tid.zillowstatic.com/8/ZPAR-Real-Estate-Business-Plan-form-851f3a.pdf
The last resource that I want to call to your attention is not actually closely tied to business planning, it’s more like a road map on what you need to be doing to ensure success
Click the link and spend a few minutes learning what Real Trends thinks are the most important activities that you should be doing! https://www.realtrends.com/articles/8-to-dos-for-real-estate-agents-to-thrive-in-2023/

Read it carefully, but pay particular attention to the paragraph that begins with “I recently moderated a panel of four very high performers”. If you can adopt those 5 things every morning you will be well on your way to success.
So, in these final months of 2022, why not take some time to get started on figuring out how you are going to achieve success in 2023?
