Planning your posts can reduce stress and help create balance in our life.
It's been said that 10 minutes in planning saves an hour of execution.
Time is a limited commodity so what we do with it really has an impact on our anxiety level.
October was always the get in gear month for our real estate office! The goal was to be all done with Holiday mailings and marketing content by Halloween. We also needed to have our next year "Disney" planning boxes done as well. The Disney method of planning included boxes showing the goals for the next year such as: how many listings, how many sales, open houses, customer events, education classes, savings, vacations... and now the boxes need to include, social media goals including Hangouts On Air!
Why did we push so hard to achieve that October 31st deadline to be ready for the next year? Easy... so we could enjoy the HOLIDAYS and really connect with our family, clients and friends when the atmosphere called for enjoyment. By being prepared with the marketing plans in place we were able to have fun and prospect at a time everyone is enjoying themselves and be ready to hit the beach running after January 10th. (No one is ready to rock January 2nd!) 
NOW is the time to get prepared for Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas/Holiday and New Year!
Do you have your plan?
One of the most important skills that any person with a business, product or service needs to be concerned with today is telling a story with digital images. What that means is, your individual photography talents need to be producing impact that people will remember or you need to connect with a photographer that can help you get there or provide the digital imprint you need to participate in today's image driven world.
Connecting with an affordale photographer might be a challange in some market places so a new website might be helpful in finding the right "Personal Photographer."
