Success Training

This year has been interesting at the Boucher house. 

Travis continues to grow and have success as a mountain bike racer and triathlete. We have done our best to provide him with the bikes and equipment he needs to succeed. We seek out amazing and talented people to coach and mentor him in a positive environment.  We have read and researched for hours on swim technique, transitions, fuel during racing, fuel while training, post workout, pre-workout, eating, sleeping, recovery, USA cycling race schedules, points, classes, etc. We have done everything in our power to ensure that Travis' natural talent and his desire to race are fostered and nurtured. This has translated in a lot of success and FUN for Travis. He has met amazing people and done incredible things this year. All in all - success. What more could you want for your child?

This year has also seen some challenges in my real estate. I love real estate. I can't imagine doing anything else....but I was allowing "things" to become obstacles. I didn't have support from a local real estate office. I was sidetracked by BPO appraisal work which was providing some stability but also taking away my real estate schedule. Now I don't know about other Realtors but I know that without a schedule my business gets sporadic. Without the right tools, marketing and brokerage, I flounder somewhat. 

So I have made significant changes. I moved to Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate in Auburn. Great broker and agents, great support (my bike, my coach). I'm investing heavily in my marketing plan and taking classes to become one tech savvy, legal literate, fabulous agent (my equipment). Finally, I have a strict schedule. Everyday, every week - planned (my training schedule). After 12 years in the business, I'm not starting over, just adjusting and re-applying.

Turned out the plan for success wasn't hard to come up with. I just looked to my kid and his approach. Yep, I can do that. Just like Travis.
