Get a jump start on the New Year with a fresh outlook
Start the year off on the right foot

By Marylyn B. Schwartz, CSP

The key to success is to stop resolving and to start doing, today! Here are a few tips to get the year off to the best possible start:

1. Don?t look back in disappointment or regret. Look back only to learn from what did not work so that you will never venture down that road again.

2. Have a plan and work it. If you don?t have a business plan that is well articulated, helps you to change things in your life that are change-worthy and is a motivating force in your day-to-day life, then your chances for success will suffer the consequences.

3. Embrace profit. It is not a four-letter word. Working to break even is akin to being stuck for hours on an escalator in a power failure.

4. Upgrade all of your technology. Add at least one great new software program to your cadre of knowledge.

5. Like Wayne Gretzsky said, ?Always be where the puck is going.? Don?t wait for the next trend to come to you and/or your company?create it. It is always better to be first than best.

6. Focus on your sellers. Let go of anything that is not marketing focused. The public cares most about how you?ll make their homes stand out.

7. Create a ?no whining zone? all around you. Do not tolerate ?psychic vampires? that bring you and your energy down. Don?t allow your own thoughts to be anything but upbeat.

8. Go somewhere you?ve never been. Live your life kindly, so that when you are old and live it again through your memories, it will bring you comfort and peace.

9. Practice is the best of all instructors. Embrace ongoing education and add a certification to your credentials.

10. Be charitable and give part of your time/income to those less fortunate. The more you do for others, the greater the rewards for you and your success.
