Happy New Year! Wow, the time sure flew. As I look back, I am happy and also a little guilty in saying that 2011 was a good year for me. Guilty because I feel bad that so many friends were eager to see it over.
I have so much to be thankful for and though there were some rough spots in 2011, especially for some dear friends, I really can't complain. I helped so many folks realize the dream of home ownership, while helping others sell homes to move on to the next chapter of their lives.
Late 2009, I brought on an agent on to my team and am happy to say that between the two of us, we closed a lot of Fullerton homes and sold a lot of real estate in the North Orange County area. It was my best year yet and I have so many people to thank from my amazing family, my buyer's agent Kelly, my amazing lenders and vendors; it really does take a village! These are challenging times and selling and actually bringing a home to closing is no easy task so THANK YOU to all that helped!
So for 2012? Well, I am not one for resolutions, but I have decided to take on a 30 day challenge. Today is day two and I am off to a great start. Here is what I am going to do for the next 30 days:
1. Wake up at 6:00 am (weekends too).
2. Walk my dog early every day so that we both get exercise OR do some other exercise – every day.
3. Write an article/blog or something to post online – every day for 30 days (I have two blogs so I will alternate between the two)
My other blog is www.cristaldrake.com if you would like to read yesterday's article, which elaborates a bit more.
It is nothing crazy. I am in a pivotal point in my business and in order to maintain my sanity and sell as many homes or more than last year, it is going to take some organization. I figure that I can do anything for 30 days.
I would love to hear what YOU are up to for the new year. It is brand new and so full of possibilities! If your new year includes anything help with such as being a support for your goal or answering any questions about buying or selling a home, I would be honored to help.
Happy New Year!
Wll I am happy to say I have made also early morning plans. Walking the dog early ( but that is mu usual), but making sure i do my AR first, before I get caught up in the rest of my day.
I have just been going through the orientation for something called the 100 Day Challenge. I'm supposed to come up with 5 goals and the program is supposed to help you stay really focused and committed......pretty excited and pumped about it. I think I'm going to write a post about it once I get a little deeper into it.
