'Tis the time of year the most folks are enjoying having a fresh start with their business plans and personal goals. My friend David at Keller Williams in Columbia, South Carolina wrote a great post I would like to pass along. Whether or not you are in the real estate business, these resources will be valuable to anyone seriously trying to crank it up a notch. Thanks, David, for the links to some great destinations. I can see you're on track for a great 2009!
The most recent temperature "dip" (overnight lows moved between 7-9 degrees and a current reading of 29 degrees) in Columbia SC have created a perfect environment for me to stay inside and update myself on ActiveRain happenings. After reading this morning's blog post by Travis Olson, I was inspired to package three blog posts for you that can be used in "Getting Your Mind Right" in 2009. Without the right mindset, this year could be even more tumultuous than 2008.
Part One - Passion & Persistence: When you watch the AFC & NFC Championship Games on tomorrow, you'll be watching real-life examples of qualities that will be needed to realize your 2009 goals.
Part 2 - Be Well....Be Thankful......Be Focused: A Birthday Wish for You from Me!
Part Three - Read These Books/Change Your Perspective!
In Big Dreams/Goals in 2009 - Why You Will Succeed...or Fail, Olson discusses several books that have changed his views on business. I'd like to share two that have had the same impact on my life.
Shift by Gary Keller and The Dip by Seth Godin
As the formula for Coca-Cola has been successful for decades, reading these books and absorbing the knowledge available to you in the ActiveRain community will prove to be just as enduring and vital to your real estate success.
Remember..........
"The only difference between now and a year from now is the people you met and the books you read."
Have A Great Weekend!
STAY WARM!

Hi Janna. I have read The Shift and liked it a lot and Tribes by Seth Godin, but will have to check out The Dip. Thanks for the alert on all these.
Thanks for the information, Janna! Another book for my list :-)
