2009 is over! At least for me, I’m saying THANK GOD! If I look at my first three years in business, I’m like a freaking Star Trek movie. Odd number years suck, and even number years are awesome. For those of you that are not geeks…you’ll probably never get what that means. Rather than look at my mistakes of the past year, and challenges in and out of business I have had to overcome, I’ve decided to be pro-active, and plan my business for 2010.
I am in the process of planning out my year, how much money I want to make, how many deals I have to do, etc. This goes all the way down to how many contacts per hour I need to make. The best part about Mojo, is that I average more contacts on days that I actually use the program. My New Year’s resolution is to use it on a daily basis, and really move forward. They are constantly updating the program to make it better for everyone, even real estate agents. I can’t wait for some awesome features to be released in 2010. BTW, Mojo is now compatible with Landvoice and Red-X. So make sure you get your stuff updated.
Anyway…back on track, Adderol taken. The point of business planning is to make sure that you can perform at a consistently high level, without the ups and downs that this business can take a person through. I would suggest blocking out prospecting time…and noting what times you need to check Mojo throughout the day…especially if you use it for lead follow up, etc. Put it into your calendar that at 11:30, 2pm, and 5pm you need to “check your mojo.” Or…use whatever times work for you.
Hope that pointer helps, and here’s to a phenomenal 2010!
Great points…I would note that as someone who really doesn’t comment to blogs much (in fact, this may be my first post), I don’t think the term “lurker” is very becoming to a non-posting reader. It’s not your fault at all, but perhaps the blogosphere could come up with a better, non-creepy name for the 90% of us that enjoy just reading the posts.
