For many, the primary focus is on weekly and monthly production objectives that will enable us to reach the annual income goal. Don't make it too complicated.

For example, if you want to make $250,000 or more in the new year, you have to work on that every day.

For us a business plan s a movable feast. It is tweaked often to adjust as the circumstances change or go a different way. The bare bones are the same, and like Roy Kelley said, if you want to make $6 figure income or better, you have to be dliligent every day. A

I have goals for the year but don't do a full year's business plan - too much can change. I do quarterly planning so I can actively make changes throughout the year and adjust based on the market, program availability, new technology, rate changes, etc.

We help agents with their business plans regularly. The key is to create key performance indicators (KPI's) for daily actions. Then use this for your planning tool. For example if you make 5 calls per week to past clients you should expect 1 referral per month. We have agents print their reports and being them in.

I still need to put together my business plan and plan on reviewing it 2-3 times during the year to track my progress.
