I’ve been challenged. I love a challenge. I love CONQUERING a challenge! But suddenly, this new one seems really daunting, for some reason.
Yesterday, an agent in San Fransisco put out a video post to a bunch of folks on Twitter. His post was a 30-day challenge to himself to do a blog post a day on his blog, MyEastBayAgent.com. Andy’s on top of technology and social media so that shouldn’t be a problem for him. But then he took it a step further – he asked US what OUR challenge was. Something about that kicked me in the butt a little bit, and reminded me that I’ve got things I could be working on as well.
So I took his challenge. Early in my real estate career I did something religiously, every day, and it positively affected my business. As I got busier and busier, I did less and less of it until one day … I just stopped. Haven’t done it again in years, but that’s going to change. Tomorrow, Friday December 14, I’m a new man! What’s my challenge? I’m going to start writing handwritten notes to people, every day. In this era of email and Skype and Insert New Idea Here, sometimes it’s nice to just get something in the mail that doesn’t have an invoice attached to it.
I’m taking the challenge, and I’m going to whip up on it. For the next 30 days, I’ll be doing one thing, the same thing, until it becomes a habit again. And it’s going to feel good to tell Andy "I did it". Why am I making it public? Because if I know I put it out on the Web for everyone to see, I’m more likely to go do it. *GULP*
What’s your challenge? Will you take the challenge with us? Care to share?
Right on!
Glad to have you on board Jeremy.
Any other takers? Come and join us, it’ll be fun 😉
You don’t need to be in real estate. You just need to have something in mind that you’d like to commit to for 30 days.
