I’ve been meaning to read a gift someone recently gave me, The Power of Focus by Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen, and Les Hewitt.  The book is subtitled, "What the World’s Greatest Achievers Know About the Secret to Financial Freedom and Success."

Instead, it’s ironic that I find myself thumbing through reading highlights… perhaps they know me well in that my focus needs to improve!

But there is one quote in the book that I really like, "Every well-built house started with a definite plan in the form of blueprints." (by Napoleon Hill).  How true!  The main point is that for every single day you should plan ahead for what you need to do.  By having this blueprint in place (your to do list), you prioritize the most important tasks and will definitely not just have a sense of accomplishment, but may actually get something done!

Though I haven’t read the book yet, I do sit down every Monday morning and figure out what my plans are to generate business.  Am I spending too much time online?  Have I sent out any thank you cards or personal notes to anyone lately?  If I do send information, does it have value?  If I wasn’t a Realtor and I got something in the mail from an agent, what would I want it to be?

With focus, with having a blueprint to guide me, my week will be successful.
