Show Title: WOOP Your Goals: A Framework for Real Estate Success
Episode Summary:
In this episode of Coach’s Corner on the Double Duty Agent Podcast, we’re diving into a game-changing goal-setting framework called WOOP: Wish, Outcome, Obstacle, and Plan. If you’ve ever struggled to follow through on your goals, this evidence-based technique, developed by Dr. Gabriele Oettingen, might be just what you need.
WOOP isn’t just about dreaming big—it’s about creating actionable, strategic steps to overcome the hurdles that stand between you and your success. Whether you're looking to close more transactions, grow your database, or master lead generation strategies, this framework will guide you from wishful thinking to effective action.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
- Wish: How to identify clear, specific, and actionable goals that are challenging but realistic.
- Outcome: Why connecting emotionally with your goal fuels motivation and drives success.
- Obstacle: The importance of identifying the internal and external roadblocks that might hold you back.
- Plan: How to create specific, actionable "if-then" plans to tackle obstacles as they arise.
Real-Life Example for Double Duty Agents:
- Wish: Close three transactions in the next 90 days.
- Outcome: Gain confidence, earn additional income, and move closer to transitioning into full-time real estate.
- Obstacle: Limited time to generate leads consistently due to a full-time job.
- Plan: If time feels tight, wake up 30 minutes earlier to make five lead generation calls before work.
Why WOOP Works:
Unlike traditional goal-setting methods, WOOP focuses on both aspirations and barriers. It forces you to confront challenges head-on and prepares you with actionable solutions. This psychological approach shifts your mindset from dreaming to doing, empowering you to achieve success—even as a busy double-duty agent.
