3. What did you accomplish in business in 2021?

VISION BOARD:

Remember, vision boards work when we allow them to remind us 1. of our goals - our WHY 2. embody, and 3. enact that vision.

Take time each day to pause and truly see the contents of your vision board. Allow it to inspire and fuel you. Allow it to help you be more conscious of how, why, what, and with whom you invest your time, money, and energy. Allow it to help you make more conscious decisions and take more mindful actions each day knowing that each decision either moves you closer to or further from your goals and your vision.

SHOWING UP:

How can you embody the values, traits and actions of your future self that has accomplished, created and received all you desire in 2022? Who do you need to be right now? How do you need to show up for yourself, for your family and your clients today?

TEAM MEETING # 2: January 11, 2022

Reflection:

How have you been using your vision boards?

How do your personal and professional goals shape your intentions and goals for January?

Costello Group team goal for January:

3 members of the team have 1 solid lead

Costello Group team goal for 2022:

Each agent completes 12 transactions

How do these team goals help you to shape and finalize your 2022 business plan and your immediate goals for January?

The cycle of abundance and prosperity:

Give freely and without expectation and attachment, all in the spirit of generosity.

When that generosity comes back to you, allow yourself to receive fully and freely.

How and when do you give freely and without expectation? With whom? Why? How does it feel?

How, when, where and with whom can you increase and expand this practice of generosity and abundance?

How comfortable and willing are you in allowing yourself to receive... compliments, help, support, prosperity, love etc?

Appreciation Practice:

To lift and shift your mood, to get you in the habit of feeling good as well as seeing, experiencing and acknowledging the good in the world, begin a daily appreciation practice with the members of your team, your family, friends, and members of your community. You feel good, they feel good... it's a win win and a crucial aspect of abundance.

Example:

I appreciate that you're always on time.
I appreciate your smile.
I appreciate your positive attitude.
I appreciate the way you support me.
I appreciate how you show up fully.

What does it feel like to practice both giving and receiving appreciation?

A culture of support and care at Costello Group:

Engage in the appreciation practice - give and receive.

Ask one another how you can support and hold each other accountable.

Examples:

How can I serve?

Does anyone need anything?

How can I help you right now?

Would you like to be my accountability partner?

Give and receive. Give and receive.

Begin and end your day consciously:

1- 3 minutes: How do you feel? What did you accomplish? What worked well/is a win? How did you co-create your results? What can you continue to do tomorrow? What can you do differently tomorrow?

How have you been taught to view the world and yourself?

What have you been taught is possible in life and business?

What do you believe is possible in your life and business? Where is the ceiling? What's the limit?

What roles and identities have you played? Savior? Victim? Hero? The good girl? The good son? The troublemaker? Write down as many as possible?

What scripts, beliefs, roles and identities serve your vision for 2022? Which limit your access and ability to meet those goals?

Team Meeting # 3: February 1, 2022

Reflection:

What were 3 wins for January? Small or large. Personal and/or professional.

What's one thing you want to fine-tune/improve/grow in February?

Costello Group Team Goals:

February: 3 new listings, 3 new buyers on top of what is already in the works

March: 6 new closing on top of what is already pending

Reminder: Costello Group team goal for 2022:

Each agent completes 12 transactions

Refer back to your finalized business plan as well as the answer to the question I posed to all of you in September: What do you want to accomplish in business in 2022?

How do these team goals and your desired outcome for 2022 shape your professional goals for February? What would you like to set in motion, get into contract, close, and /or achieve in the next 30 days?

Begin and end your day consciously

Allow today's check-in and last month's daily practice to help you stay clear, proactive, and accountable for this month's goal and operate as a stepping stone to your annual goal.

Refer back to the notes from our January meeting to help you establish this rhythm of goal/intention setting, creating a barometer for all thoughts, feelings, and actions throughout the day as well as reflection, accountability, and ownership at the end of the day (as well as the opportunity to make necessary adjustments for the next day).

Cultivate Your Growth/Success Mindset

A growth/success mindset is flexible, sees possibility, seeks solutions, and views each challenge as an opportunity.

For more, tune into my recent Women of Compass classes from October, Success 2.0, and from January, Ignite Your Success Mindset.

Practice reframing the way you relate to perceived losses, failures, and frustrations.

BREATHE

Real estate is fast-paced, but we don't need to hustle, stress, or burn out. Start by breathing in order to ground and regulate your nervous system. You'll think more clearly, make better decisions, feel more centered and relaxed and all-around feel better!

Set a timer for the top of the hour every hour and remind yourself to breathe deeply for 3 rounds by placing a post-it note on your computer and on the dashboard of your car.
