Ep 5 - Goals and Resolutions 2020 - a podcast by Brian Cook And Kindra Cox

The January 2, 2020 episode of The Brian and Kindra show, they discussed New Year’s Goals and Resolutions.  These tips may be helpful to you as well!  

 

Happy New Year! It’s crazy to think that each second into 2020 has us closer to 2050 than we are to 1990!!  It’s often joked about that 1990 was just last decade when in fact it was 30 years ago!  This thought combined with a New Year and so many making New Year’s Resolutions or Goals brought about big discussion with Brian and Kindra.

 

First, it’s important to know that there is a difference between a goal and a resolution and to understand each one.  A Goal is something specific and measurable and often includes a deadline.  A Resolution is something one resolves or decides to do or not to do.  However passionate their resolution is, it doesn’t seem to have the same gravity or dedication that a goal has.  Brian and Kindra believe turning resolutions into goals will help you have a higher level of success and achievement.

 

Goals should be measurable and though they should be a challenge, they should also be attainable or realistic.  It’s also wise to set a time to a goal, a deadline that the goal should be attained.  For example, in the show, Brian had mentioned that though he had lost weight last year, he wants to increase his fitness this year, specifically before Spring Break so that he is able to do some physical activity with his family and avoid injury.  He has a goal, it is measurable, attainable and has a deadline.  

 

A great reference that was mentioned in the program was Brian Tracy’s book, “Eat That Frog!”.  The book really encourages readers to jump in and do the hard things.  He says not to procrastinate because you don’t have tasks to complete that are enjoyable or simple.  He gives great strategies to ‘eat the frog’.   

 

Brian and Kindra also discussed the role of a third party in goal building and also in accountability.  Often a 3rd party can help you see a bigger picture or maybe they have more experience and success in the goal you are building.  They can help you map out a plan to succeed.  Additionally, they can check on you from time to time, keeping you focused on your goal and gives you a greater chance for success.  

 

How does all of this apply to real estate? Easy!  Whether buying, selling or even if you are planning a home improvement project, your Realtor can help you assess your situation and create a plan to achieve your goal.  They will help you with realistic expectations of budgets for purchase or remodel and can help you create a goal and plan to accommodate the sale of your property.  Be sure to contact a professional today!
