Reflecting on the year to make the most of the next!
It can be difficult to set goals for the new year when the market is always changing; by setting realistic goals and staying focused, you can ensure that you are always moving forward and making progress in your career. Here are a few great tips for setting your realistic 2023 goals.
Reflections
It’s always helpful to reflect on the previous year and think about what went well and what helped you get to this point. This can give you some direction for setting goals for the new year. Reviewing your accomplishments from the past year can be motivational as well.
Most people don’t like to dwell on their mistakes, however, it’s also important to reflect on what could have been done differently. This is how we learn and grow from our experiences and set better plans for our future goals.
Reflecting on the success of others in your market is a great way to find ideas for the new year. Take a look at what they’re doing differently from other businesses and see how you can apply it to your own business. Making connections with other successful people in your industry is also a great way to get ahead.
Adding New Skillsets
Additional education may be required by the state you are practicing in but continuing your education will only serve to benefit your clients. Consider taking additional classes and attending events to grow your knowledge further!
You can develop new skills without taking classes. There are many ways to learn new things and improve existing skills. In 2022, many agents who were previously only working with sales are now helping clients with rental. As the sales market has begun to slow down and rental prices have increased this is a great time to start thinking about whether or not this could be a part of your new year plan.
Branding Yourself
As part of your new year plan, you should always be thinking of your personal branding. It’s important to have an online presence on platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, as more and more people are using these sites to search for homes and agents. By advertising your properties on social media, you’ll be able to reach potential buyers that you may not have otherwise had access to. By posting about your recent successes in renting or selling properties, you can reach hundreds of people within your client’s network as well. This is a great way to gain exposure at a low cost!
Create a timeline for your goals
It can be daunting to set a whole year’s worth of goals at once. Try breaking it down into smaller chunks and setting goals for specific periods instead. Again, it is important to be realistic; if your goal is to be more present on social media, a great goal would be to set up an Instagram page by the end of January. If you are unsure of how to get started, there are helpful tips here. Once your page is completed, your next goal could be to use the $1.80 strategy to make 5 connections by March.
Staying on Budgeting
Have you thought about your budget for the new year? How much are you planning on spending for marketing or personal branding? The $1.80 strategy for Instagram is a great way to grow your personal brand with no cost. There are many other ways to grow your personal brand in addition to the methods mentioned above. It is important to plan your budget along with your goals. Having high-quality media for your listing is necessary for your marketing and personal brand, but it is also important to try to stay on budget and keep your bottom line in mind. Finding a company you enjoy working with, with competitive pricing and high-quality media is a great first step. Listing3D is here to help!
