Businesspeople in general, including appraisers, are always seeking better ways to achieve success. Sometimes, a simple philosophy is needed when it comes time change things up for a more desired result.

“There is a principle, or way of looking at things that I try to regularly apply both personally and when I am coaching others,” Dustin Harris, “The Appraiser Coach” wrote in one of his recent blogs. “This is a tool that helps me find if and where I need to change things in my personal and business life or in the lives of the individuals I mentor. I call it ‘keep, tweak, or leap.’”

Harris says this is where appraisers examine routines, systems, relationships, physical items, goals, and then they decide if they should “keep, tweak, or leap.” Obviously, he notes, appraisers are going to want to keep things in their personal and business life that works well for them. It is important to realize what is benefiting the appraiser’s life and why, so he or she can create and attract more positive things into their lives.

“It is time to tweak something when it is mostly good but could be even better with some adjustments,” Harris said. “For example, maybe you are setting unrealistic goals, or maybe you find yourself fighting with your significant other, or maybe there is an employee that is amazing but is consistently struggling in one area. These are things you likely do not want to get rid of altogether, but if you tweaked some things, they would be of a much greater benefit to your life.”

Finally, Harris noted people (appraisers) are creatures of habit. Even if something is not working for them, people tend to continue using it or doing it. Be purposeful, though, he said, about examining one’s life and taking the leap to make necessary changes to get rid of certain key things.

If something is a mostly negative thing in your life, Harris reminds everyone, it may not be something you need to tweak, but something you need to get rid of altogether.

“I believe a key to success is regularly evaluating and adjusting. You have to make changes in order to see different results,” Harris said. “Consistently designate time to examine your personal life and business. Take the time to recognize what you are doing well, what needs fine-tuned, and what needs thrown out. Regularly refine in order to begin unlocking your full potential.”
