Do you STRUGGLE with SYSTEMS??? 3 Challenges that you MAY be Facing...

Chances are if you are reading this blog post the answer is "Yes."  What makes a system so hard to create?  In my experience, there are 3 challenges in creating a system a system that works...

1. Details- Details are the lifeblood of systems.  There is a fine line between too many details and not enough.  There is an old saying in sports that goes like this - "Paralysis by analysis."  That can hold true with systems as well.  If you have too many tasks/steps the system may seem a bit overwhelming and will fail before it even gets a chance.  My suggestion would be to write out all details you can think of on a list.  Go back through the list and cross off any items that may seem redundant or intuitive.  Take the remaining and put them in some sort of order (most likely chronological).  No system is ever perfect right out of the gate - so be prepared to tweak.
2. Implementation- We are such creatures of habit and it is hard for us to change.  Change is a gradual process and becomes more and more doable with small successes.  I would suggest giving yourself the 30 day challenge.  If the system seems to fail over the next 30 days or it seems to be a total bust - scrap it and start over.  The key thing to keep in mind is keeping the right mindset during change.
3. Appeal- Systems are not sexy, but they are however consistent if used correctly.  You probably get bombarded with 1,000's of emails and 100's of phone calls a month with the latest and greatest tools/systems to take your business to the next level...Here is the truth - hard work, integrity, smart planning and basic systems will outlast any and all sales pitches in Real Estate.  You are the most important asset in your business - make sure you use it.  Stay the course and results will happen over time.
