As the brilliant Dr. Martin Luther King Jr once stated "you don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step." We all have dreams for ourselves, but how much are you *actively* working towards those dreams? If you aren't talking steps forward to achieve them (no matter how small), you will never accomplish them. Let's change that! But where do you start?! Here are 10 ways to jump start that motivation today!
Visualize! Set apart a time of your day without distractions and visualize what your next big goal is. While you might have many dreams, it's important to focus on one at a time. Try to imagine yourself in the future achieving this goal. Take note to yourself of what they really looks like.
Think it over! Ask yourself why you want to accomplish this goal. Why is this important? How will accomplishing this goal make you feel? How will accomplishing this goal impact your future?
Make a note! Writing down that goal helps it feel more "real", and thereby more attainable. This also confirms to yourself that this goal is a top priority.
Set a date! Pick a date of when you realistically can accomplish that goal. Circle it on a calendar! Remember you don't have to wait until the start of a new week, month or year to start working towards that goal. A Thursday in September is just fine!
Make a plan! Now that you have your goal & a deadline, you are able to break down your goal into smaller more achievable steps. Bonus points if you assign a deadline to the small steps as well.
Keep your eye on the ball! Now that you have your big picture goal, and smaller steps toward achieving that goal, think about what you can do *every day* to help you work towards that goal. This will keep your goal at the front of your mind each and every day.
Get creative! Next make a dream board. You are going to have to channel your inner scrapbooker for this, but it will be worth it! By using a simple poster board, write motivational quotes & add pictures all relating to your goal. When you are done, hang this in a spot in your home you will see daily.
Problem solve! Think about what roadblocks could stand in the way of you accomplishing your goal. Then problem solve ways around it.
Be accountable! Tell at least one trusted friend about your plan & goal. Ask them to check in with you periodically to discuss your progress.
Call in the experts! Make an appointment with a professional. Tell them your plan, and ask for feedback.
Psssssst, don't forget! If real estate is a part of your goals, send our team a DM. We are always here to help!
