I was asked to talk about my experience with the Life Plan tool at buildingchampions.com, a coaching company. The first element of the coaching program, the Life Plan, is designed to determine what is most important to you, then create a plan to develop those areas of your life. In this video I talk about my experience and I want to share it with you. You can access two life plan tools here Life Planning Tool and here Michael Hyatt-Creating Your Personal Life Plan if you would like to use them to create profound change in your life.
It was while creating the life plan, that I realized my wife and family were my first priorities in my HEART but in REALITY I was letting work, phone calls and little business emergencies come before them. So I decided to try to start changing my course, to start making some changes that would make them come first not only in my HEART, but in reality as well and maybe more importantly, in their minds. I realized if they are number one inside me, but they feel like they are number 3, 4 or 5, I’ve not done a very good job as a husband or a father.
So I started rebuilding my team, I started trying to engineer it such that I could deliver better client service, close more loans, but I did not have to be at the center of it all. The small team, became a pretty big group and today they are better able to serve our clients and referral partners than I ever could have done it alone.
I hope I’ve created a better service and more value for my clients, our group and for my family. This does not mean I’m leaving mortgage, it just means our group is just as capable as I am. Together we provide a better client experience. I don’t have to be at the center of every transaction; I can just help where needed and ensure things move smoothly and that we keep the course.
