Let's get into some goal-setting on today's podcast.  Refer to our best-selling book, Harris Rules, and Premier Coaching to drill down on your specific goals.  Your Real Estate Treasure Map also includes a more in-depth dive into goal setting, so don't wait to get that! A Goal is a Dream with an Action Plan. Goals must be 'SMART': Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and Timely.  We'll take a look at some examples in a moment.  First, write down the five areas of life to set and achieve goals:  Family, Financial, Physical, Mental/Spiritual, Educational. Note: Don't strive for perfect balance in the five areas.  Naturally, you'll have big goals in some areas, and micro goals in others.  Your goals will be upgraded as you achieve them. Let's take a deep dive into the most obvious one for most people: FINANCIAL. Most agents say: "I want to / need to save more money." As stated, this is simply a dream.  To turn it into a goal, let's apply the 'SMART' rules, so it can become a GOAL.  Here are the questions to ask yourself (a great coach can help you with this!) (We'll ask the questions and then show you an example plan) 1.   Be specific and measurable about your financial goal.  How much money?  Why that much?  What's that amount based on?  A reserve fund of 6 months, or a downpayment for your next house? 2.   Make your goal attainable.  Is that amount possible?  How many transactions would it take to get there, based on your average net commission?  How does that compare to your averages currently? 3.   Make your goal realistic.  How realistic is your goal? Is it 2x what you know you can do, or 100x that goal? Should you make your goal more incremental so it's more realistic?  4.   Make your goal timely.  By when will you accomplish your goal? That's what we cover in Premier Coaching.
