I swore off business planning  until I met my guest today, Erin Bradley. Her theory is that our business plans should not just focus on our businesses, but that it should actually be a lifestyle plan first and foremost. A business plan that puts your life first. Brilliant. Because why else do we have a business at all if it isn’t for the life we hope to create with it? In this episode, Erin walks us through the five step process she uses to design a business and life that leaves enough room to enjoy the time and financial freedom that we hope having a business plan will create for us but most business plans completely skip this part!! And, the best part is that the entire plan fits on one page. So, you can reference it all year long and make sure you are on track. You’ll definitely want to pause while you’re listening to this episode and take notes. Erin is sharing her one-page lifestyle and business planning worksheet so you can follow along as she walks us through how to create a life we love and a business we won’t want a vacation from.

When you think about having the real estate business and life outside your business you’ve always wanted what comes to mind? For most of us, there is a moment of dreaming big followed at some point by a thought like, “I’ll never be able to have that.” Or, something along the lines of “Sounds great, but I have no idea how to make that happen.” Why do we do this to ourselves? Why do we think we can’t have what we want, or that what we want is somehow an impossibility for us? That what we want and our ability to actually have it are not equal? Life is too short not to have it be exactly the way we want it to be.  Like, why can’t you be a successful real estate agent and have a great life too?   Make good money and have some free time to enjoy it…that doesn’t seem like an impossible dream to me. It’s not asking for too much out of life, yet so many agents I talk to think a life like this is not in the cards for them.   Once you realize what you reallllllly want in life and how you’ve been holding yourself back, it can bring up a lot of emotions–sadness, anger, frustration, and after all that comes hope and then finally the thing that matters most–action.   In today’s workshop-style episode of Confessions of A Top Producing Real Estate Agent, I’m walking you through a 7-step process so you can make whatever you want happen.   And, because as Lee Iacocca said, “The disciple of writing something down is the first step to making it happen,” I’m also giving you a free workbook for you to use as I walk you through the 7 Steps to Get Anything You Want.   Get The 7 Steps To Having Anything You Want Workbook Here Having anything you want is not a catch phrase and it’s not too good to be true.  It’s something each one of us is capable of, but only if we remove what’s in the way.  This 7 step process will help you do that. Let this be the year you say I will _________________________ and then truly go for it like it’s going to happen.   Don’t just wait and see what happens, decide and then commit to make it happen.   ​​Not in a stressful way, but in a “I’m worthy and capable” kind of way.   Because you are.
