SMART Business Planning: Turning Ideas into Action
Your business plan is critical to your success as a REALTORⓇ. Often, creating a business plan is not prioritized in the way it should be. One reason it can be pushed to the side is because creating a comprehensive plan is no easy feat. Basic business plan templates, like the ones that are found online, are one size fits all, not tailored to you and your business specifically.
A true business plan requires intention and time. It starts with asking yourself questions about who you are as a person and your life goals. From there, you can generate the activities that help you fulfill those things.
Remember, an aimless practice of any business will lead to mediocre success and rely on pure luck too much. SMART Real Estate Consulting focuses on Specific goals and Measurable activities to reach them. We recognize Accountability as a crucial part of your plan to motivate and challenge you. We also believe your business plan should be Relevant to what matters most to you with achievable Timelines for growth.
