Q: “Denise, I’m already thinking ahead to the new year and resolutions. I don’t know if I’ll be able to keep all of them, BUT what can a busy agent like me do to stay on track?”

A: It sounds like you’re planning on adding more to your routine with your New Year resolutions, but before you add more, I have an idea for you: take things away.

This is a great time of year to reflect on what it is in your business and life that isn’t serving you well in today’s fast-paced world. Editing these things out of your already-busy schedule makes room for you to grow and for new, healthier experiences. Maybe you need to edit the amount of time you are spending online or checking your emails. Maybe you need to edit out clients who aren’t serious about moving forward or require too much of your energy. Think about where your energy was most wasted and drained over the last year and resolve to stay out of those situations. Then you’ll have more energy to put towards your positive resolutions.

So don’t add until you subtract!
