Being proactive is one of the defining characteristics of successful Real Estate agents. When you initiate a call or meeting with someone in your Sphere, you are taking control of your business and being proactive. Proactive people create their own success, instead of waiting for others to call them.

	1.	Take 100% responsibility for your success! Your success depends only upon you and the initiative you take. You are the person responsible for the quality of the life you live. Be responsible and be proactive!
	2.	Create a written plan that is clear and motivating. When we write down what we want to achieve, we are creating a vision of what we most want to accomplish. And, we are much more likely to actually implement our plan!
	3.	Take small actions each day. How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time. How do you Get Your Sphere in Gear? One phone call at a time!
	4.	Publicize your plans. Let others know what you are passionate about. It creates enthusiasm and accountability.
	5.	Visibly display your plans and goals. Before I rode my bike around Mt. Rainier (153 miles) in one day, I put up a big map of Mt. Rainier so I could visualize and internalize the route I would be riding.

By following these 5 tips, you will be more Proactive and will be taking responsibility for your own personal and business success!
