Defining Your Goals
Probably one of the most important things we do with our
Partnering For Your Success students is to help them define
their goals. We discuss their need for both short and long term
goals. This might sound trite to you, or you might say, Yeah,
everyone says to define my short term and long term goals.
Well, this is said and emphasized for a very important reason.
These short term and long term goals help define how you will
run your business, how much time you will need to spend, and
what you expect to accomplish. They are the cornerstone of
running your business.
Your long term goals are those 3-5 years down the road. For
example:
Work Lease Purchase Full time Accumulate $250-$500,000 in wealth
Own 20 Lease Purchase Properties Do 12-15 deals a month Do 12-15
consultations a month
You get the idea.
Now for the short term goals - the next 6 months to 2 years
Work Lease purchase business 5 to 10 hours per week Join 2
business groups Join Real Estate Group Do 1 deal every 6 weeks
Do 4 consultations every 6 weeks - 2 for tenant/buyers; 2 for
sellers
Your short and long term goals should cover what you wish to
accomplish. However, be realistic. So many of our students want
too much too soon. We provide a reality check for them. However,
if you are not working with us, you will need to provide your
own reality check. Re-work and change your goals if needed.
We have found and so have many of our students, that quotes
motivate them and us.
Just recently I ran across the following:
"In the end, vision, drive, energy, singleness of purpose, wise
use of resources, and a commitment to a destiny worthy of his
efforts become a character of a chieftain who excels." Atilla
The Hun
"There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous
to conduct, or more uncertain of its success than to take the
lead in the introduction of a new order of things" Niccolo
Machiavelli
