POLL - How "Business Like" do you run your busines

[Eric Foster]

Hello all...

In preparing my plans and goals for the upcoming year, I was wondering how many of those that are in Real Estate Investing actually run their business like a business.

I don't mean this in a negative way, as I have many things I want to do to make my business "more like a business".

I am trying to set up my business like discussed in the book the EMyth... Setting it up in an organized and systemized way to make it almost run on auto pilot... Like a McDonalds fast food restaurant does.

Here are some things that I think are important, things that I have been working on, and things I have been asking myself.

Personally, I am going to get these things done for my business just as soon as I can for this new year.

Questions:
- Do you have systems in place to handle everything?
- Do you have checklists to make sure things get done?
- Do you keep good and organized records?
- Are you and the business organized in general?
- Do you have all your activities scheduled in advance?
- Do you have a written business plan?
- Do you have a written marketing plan?
- Do you have business goals?
- Do you have personal goals?
- Do you track milestones for achieving goals?
- Do you have ideas to further build your company?

Good luck to you in the new year...
And make this year Your year!
