As 2008 becomes a memory and 2009 beckons us to the future, it is a perfect time to reflect on where we've been and where we want to go. It's also a great time to make your New Year's resolutions. I hope your list looks something like the following:

1. I will make a Business Plan for 2009 by the end of January, 2009.
2. I will send out a copy of the HUD 1 to all my 2008 transactions by the end of January, 2009. (This is a great help to your Buyers and Sellers at tax time.)
3. I will have at least one Open House per month.
4. I will create and send out an E-Newsletter once a month.
5. I will call at least one of my 2008 Buyers or Sellers each month to ask if they know of anyone thinking of buying or selling a property.
6. I will showcase one of my listings each month and I will send an electronic flyer to my database asking if any of my contacts know of someone who might be interested in the showcased property.
7. I will call one expired listing per month.
8. I will call one withdrawn listing per month.
9. I will read one real estate article each month on any area in which I think I need improvement.
10. I will add at least five new contacts to my database each month.

Happy New Year Wish
My Happy New Year wish for you
Is for your best year yet,
A year where life is peaceful,
And what you want, you get.
A year in which you cherish
The past year's memories,
And live your life each new day
Full of bright expectancies.
I wish for you a holiday
With happiness galore;
And when it's done, I wish you
Happy New Year, and many more.

Happy New Year to one and all! See you next week.
