Paula, I am a big fan of business planning and am shocked at how many agents don’t do it.
One thing in my 2008 plan, that will also be in the 2009 version, is that I am choosing not to participate in any real estate slump!

Steve – Thanks! As I wrote this I thought about all the agents who are living in Fear of the changes in the industry and how many more are getting out.
They don’t know what to do!

Go Bob! I know many who do not have a business plan – and more who don’t know where to start with the changes in our business. I believe they have set themselves up to fail without one.

Paula, how scary…seriously.
But, you moved on and we will move on and not live in fear of the unknown by putting one foot in front of the other.
Business plans allow us to know what worked and what we fell short of.

Missy – It was scary – even scarier is how it affected me. I see how our market is affecting other agents and they are limited by their fear.
You’re right – one foot in front of the other = taking action.

When you suddenly find your health in jeopardy, you gain a whole new perspective on life, don’t you?
Thank you for sharing how your illness helped you to grow and has made you stronger.
As my 3 year old grandson loves to say, “Never give up!” They sure do get smart young… No fear at that age 🙂

Nickie – It certainly does!
How positive a message from a three year old!
Speaking of granchildren, it took my grandaughter awhile to forget that she went to bed with me and I was gone when she woke up. Thankfully, she did and doesn’t think her Mimi will disappear on her again.

Paula,
I always knew from reading your work that you are special, and this article helps me to understand why. It may take a scare like the one you experienced to really appreciate having good health, and then the enthusiasm for life becomes contagious. Thank you for sharing this, and congratulations on your resolve for 2009!
