What Are You Waiting For? 5 Keys to Being Super Competitive – Presented by Todd Butzer

Marketplace Home Mortgage sponsored a great class last week with Todd Butzer. There were over 60 people there to learn about how to be competitive. I thought the class was amazing because what he was teaching you, you could use in every aspect of your life, not just work. He gave great examples of Olympic athletes and how they stay competitive. For example: Lindsey Vaughn. After her injury she came back and made a world record. Here are the 5 Keys to Being Super Competitive:

1.       Decide – Decide to compete at a high level. Make the decision to change and improve your routine in your work.

2.       Prepare – Set goals, plan out your marketing, and make lists. Play defense with your money, only spend it on things that you see are making your business better.

3.       Implement – Implement systems to help achieve your goals. To be successful you just have to work hard. Get up an hour earlier to work a little bit longer and you will see a big difference that hour can make.

4.       Measure – Measure where your leads are coming from. Find out what makes you valuable and your definition of success. Measure what marketing works and what you want to get rid of.

5.       Refine – Dial it in. Tweak your plan to make perfect. All of it matters. Refine listing appointments, your voice mail, and social media/ marketing campaigns.

I am going to end with a great quote from Todd “Are you bringing “Lindsey Vaughn" intensiveness to your work?” If not – start now.
