Let’s get started guys and gals,

What are your goals for 2003?

Let’s start with laying the foundation.

The A to Z’s to writing a successful business plan

A. Set specific and realistic goals and write a plan to achieve these goals.

B. Find your area to work, and pick your style…example… foreclosures, sub-to’s, lease-options, note buying,

wholesaling, rehabbing, flipping, short-sale of foreclosures.

C. Learn the steps necessary to achieve the goals.

D. Master your skills, learn Neuro-Linguistic programming.

E. Find someone to hold you accountable (should be someone that does more than you) Find a mentor who will mentor you.

F. Understand why being monitored all year long is so important.

G. Learn to be more productive in less time.

H. Learn to be more profitable.

I. Learn to set a schedule and be strict.

J. Learn to take control of your deals and schedule.

K. Learn to face your fears…..for example….rejection, acceptance, failure and change.

L. Learn to control your emotions, if not you will wear yourself out, letting your emotions run wild will steal all of your energy.

M. Overcoming the need to always seek instant gratification and success and being right. Remember, “when your right your not learning” developing patience and discipline. This is a difficult one.

N. Learn the numbers it will take to achieve your goals….Example…attempts to contacts, contacts to leads, leads to contracts, contracts to closings.

O. Learn how to delegate, only do what makes you money.

P. Get out of the past and into today, (don’t let your past dictate your future) Yesterday is a cancelled check, today is cash, and tomorrow is a promissory note.

Q. Start visualizing your outcomes and goals ( you have to first visualize before you can realize).

R. Commit to getting out of your comfort zone and move away from complacency.
This one is so important!

S. Commit to practicing your scripts and objections handlers, practice, practice, practice, memorize, and internalize all of your scripts, find a partner to role play with.

T. Commit to taking greater calculated risks, quit over analyzing the deals, you should be working on 5-10 deals at a time. Quit doing one deal at a time.

U. Don’t out spend your income. Bill, I made $250,000 last year! Great how much did you spend? AHHH $ 275,000 "your an idiot"!

V. Tithe 10% of your income.

W. Find your weaknesses and strengthen them, find your strengths and expand on them.

X. Record yourself prospecting.

Y. Show up physically and mentally everyday.

Z. Be HONEST with yourself, your accountability partner and your MENTOR.


Your growth always depends upon “how bad” you want something, most of you will see growth within six months and learn how to duplicate this business within eighteen months.


In the next month I will be expanding on all of these points in detail.

Lets here your responses!

Bill Twyford

Bill,
This is great, just the motivation/kick in the butt/info needed to help in staying focused and right on track. Looking especially forward to learning about NLP and how to effectively use. Thanks for helping me to be accountable.

Sincerely,
Wendy......[ No Comments Allowed for Anonymous, please register ]

Great article Bill...to the point...I like that alot!

Here's my question reguarding "B". As someone somewhat new, I could really almost select any of these areas to be successful. What is the best way for the new person to
"pick a style" and find the best opportunity for them personally?

I have a 24/7 plus work ethic. I don't have personal cash to work with...but am willing to be VERY creative. Could one bird dog " everything" that looks good and d then discover what works best....or talk to experienced people in each areas and then decide...study everything and see what feels best....anyway finding the direction and sticking to a plan is key here. I think more people, including myself,would be very successful if they had a strong focus and perfected it.

B. Find your area to work, and pick your style…example… foreclosures, sub-to’s, lease-options, note buying,wholesaling, rehabbing, flipping, short-sale of foreclosures.

Thanks!

I'll use this as the footprints of my new venture. I'll turn to it when I needed the power to succeed. I'll practice it with honesty and integrity.

Thanks Bill for your posting.
