Business Planning Tips – 3 Steps to Accountability

AccountabilityHeading into the New Year, business planning is often a hot topic for many.  I have witnessed some of the most intense and insightful brainstorming sessions on this topic over my years, however regardless of thought, process, planning, etc. – there’s one thing that determines a successful plan in my mind:

Did you put that plan into action?

This implementation is often times the number 1 failure of business plans and makes all of that wonderfully hard work for naught.  So what can you do to make sure that the goals and actions you have mapped out for yourself and/or your company get implemented?  Make yourself accountable.

In this short video below I discuss the importance of a “good” business plan, but focus much of my talk on different types of accountability tactics that have worked for myself, my agents, and others.  How do you plan on making sure your actions are carried out next year?  Share your tips in the comments below:

About

Matthew Dollinger I would like to consider myself a real estate martyr, but I think that's a little drastic.


How I would like to position myself in the industry is somewhat of a "conduit" between agents/brokers and those continually innovating tomorrow's real estate model. I believe that Real Estate needs to ditch the mentality that it's "more than a business" and truly look to innovative companies, (regardless of industry), and learn from them. It's how we will grow and succeed in this marketplace.


I am constantly looking for new partners that share a passion for learning, innovating and implementing ideas. If you have a thought, idea, or would like to share, simply reach out to me.
