Every Business Needs Goals

Category: Finance, Real Estate.

Every one of you is absolutely different.



You need to decide what you really want to do, how much you really want to make, what you are good at, what you are scared of, and what you feel comfortable with, then start developing a business plan. You have different skills, different worries, different assets, and different goals. Whether you are going to own 1 piece of property or 1, you are going, 000 to have a business. Every business needs goals. Every business needs a plan. Every business needs to decide who its key people are.


You will likely be good at getting tenants, and selling the, putting deals together deals. If you go into real estate investing, you want to assign yourself the jobs you are good at, the ones that inspire you. #1" Know Thyself" Maybe you love to talk to people and sell things. Perhaps you love detail and finance. If you become irritated when people talk to you, you probably do not want to manage property. You would be excellent at doing mortgages and financing deals, but not good at selling them. What do you like to do? What kind of deals would fit your personality?


What kind of people do you like to be around? What aspects of real estate investing fit you best? Determine that and partner with someone who does what you hate to do. #2 Forming Your Team. Conversely, what do you not like to do? Whatever aspect of real estate investing you get into, you need a team. To whom do you go when you have finance questions? You can build your board of directors or your team starting now.


Legal questions? Whom do you call when you have deals to sell? Contract or repair questions? Start now by asking, "Whom do I want on my team? " #3 Writing Your Plan. However, they have absolutely no plan. When most real estate investors start out, they have one goal: to get one property. They set out to find that property and, after they buy it, they figure out what to do by accident.


Let me save you a lot of time and headache by insisting that you write a plan. When tenants do not pay the rent, they react quickly, for example to evict them without researching alternatives. Remember the famous study about Yale graduates: It determined that the 3 percent of those graduates who wrote down their goals for the future financially outperformed the other 97 percent three to five times. #4 Planning Your Perfect Day at Work. How would your perfect day go? Tie your goals into creating a perfect day at work. Would you have a big office, or a little one? Where would it be located in a city, or in the, on the beach mountains?


Would you work out of your home? Beyond the physical setup, determine the nature of your business. What would your portfolio look like? What kind of deals would you make? How much money could you make that day? Who would you work with? #5 Planning Your Perfect Day at Play.


What would you do to bring in money? Be sure to make overall financial goals, family goals, personal goals, and spiritual goals. How much time do you want to spend with your loved ones? How much vacation do you want to have? When you make that first wholesale deal or do a lease option or buy, and sell a, fix up property, reward yourself. Maybe you want to take a balloon ride, go on a picnic, go to the mountains, go to the beach, or go on a cruise ship- whatever it is, first set your goals by writing them down. Take a small percentage of your profit and get that perfect day of play under way.


If you do not have the energy to write down your goals, I can assure you that you won t have the energy to make your real estate deals happen. #6 Your Money and Your Credit. Most people do not. My parents, who brought me up well, always said, "Do not ever talk about money, religion, sex, or credit. " I love to talk about all of these things because I find them fascinating. However, if you are going to be a successful real estate investor with various income sources, you do need to talk about money and credit. Most real estate investors who have been supersuccessful have also been superbroke. #7 Answer the Following Questions. - How much can you borrow( if you need to) to make real estate investments? - How much access to cash do you have? - What are your assets? - What do you own? (Houses? You need to get them under control, or at least get started on them. Cars?
