323: How resilient Is your Business

I hate fee’s.   I hate late fees, overage fees, carry fees, booking fees -----I hate anything that can be considered a “fee”. I hate them because I am paying for nothing.  Recently, I deposited cash into my Wells Fargo bank account and later I saw that they actually charged me for using cash!  Isnt that why banks were created?   I should have closed that account on the spot especially, since they charge me a monthly account fee but, I didn’t-----want to know why?  I didn’t close the account for a very dumb reason.  I didn’t close the account because I had a bunch of checks that my bookkeeper had printed.  For some reason I made a business decision to keep a bank account open (and pay fees) just so a few thousand pre-printed checks didn’t go to waste.   This is a very flawed reasoning but, its common.  I am sure there is some kind of term for this kind of thinking-----I just don’t know what its called but, I see it all the time.  I see this kind of thinking everywhere-----you want to cancel that 300 dollar a month cable TV subscription but, you don’t because its too much of a hassle to drive the equipment to the cable company.  You don’t like your business logo but, you don’t change it because you still have a bunch of cards.  Its everywhere and it effects everyone but, is it hurting your future.  Bank accounts, cards and cable isn’t the end of the world but, as we start the new year I would suggest we all take a look at the structural areas in our life and see what isn’t optimized.   Are you being challenged in your office or brokerage?  Are you getting the training and support you need to meet your goals?  Is your broker holding you back?  What is holding you back from making changes?  I think you should……….   (Want to hear the rest?  Listen to the podcast here)   P.S.  These are just some thoughts for the day—–I’m thinking that I will do this everyday  for the rest of the year.  If you have any questions or comments—send them to me—–I might address them in an upcoming post.  Also—for anyone interested in joining my national team with EXP—send me an email to [email protected]   Toby Subscribe to the podcast    https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/super-agents-live-podcast/id787334331 Want to maintain momentum and growth this year?  Here’s how we can help https://www.superagentslive.com/Grow-Your-Business/
