WHAT IT TAKES!

Someone asked me the other day "What does it take to be successful?" This is a multi-part series on what it takes.


First step - SET GOALS.


Biggest Owner of apartments.
Greatest lifestyle brand in the world.
Most profitable real estate owner.
Best chef in America
Fastest runner in the Midwest
Best dad/mom possible.


It all starts with a goal.


What do you want to do?


And remember its doesn't have to be limited to just one speciality.


A caring and involved father/husband running the largest multifamily ownership company specializing in improving customer lifestyles.


Sounds better then - the largest landlord in America, right?


WHAT ARE YOUR GOALS?


They don't have to be long term either -
Run a marathon in under 3.30 by the time I am 40.
Have 2 kids before 45., etc. etc.
Bring market occupancy to 90%.
Have my residents refer friends to our community
Get married

Think about this before next weeks installment.

Without you and your involvement there is no way my goals will be accomplished.

Thanks for Making it Happen.

Regarding success & Setting goals, below is a quote I pulled from the web site: http://www.10-hours.com/about-marc_rubin_story.php



Marc started this web site: 10 hrs – as a goal to complete an Ironman in under 10hrs. He has some motivational information you may want to incorporate in your blog series.



It is popularly believed that in 1953 researchers polled the graduating class of Yale University and found that 3% of the graduates practiced goal setting and had a set of clearly defined written goals.

In 1973 researchers went back and visited the class of '53 and found that the 3% of the graduates who had the clear and written goals had amassed a fortune worth more than the other 97% combined. This is powerful evidence that goal setting is a proven process in creating and defining success.
