real estate agents: Pressure Forms the Pearl! - 08/13/08 06:18 PM
I feel like I need to create a new post!  Today I gave a speech entitled "Pressure Forms the Pearl!" at our local Toastmasters Club at Boise Bible College.  (It is the closest meeting place to us and we meet at a perfect time: High Noon on Wednesday!)
Since I am a candidate for a doctorate degree, I must keep on track every day!  The task is so overwhelming that I must take it one small step at a time.  I must continually overcome the feeling of anxiety.
The feelings I have been experiencing are wild!  Last night I was up all night … (17 comments)

real estate agents: Breaking Through Your Barriers! - 07/17/08 03:28 AM
As professionals in the field of Real Estate, each one of us has had to break through our barriers! 
I remember when I actually enrolled in airplane pilot ground school at Boise State University and began taking flying lessons at Gem State Aviation to become a pilot back on September 9, 1975.  I had this dream for 20 years before I actually took the steps to break through my barriers.
My first solo flight without my instructor was terrifying!  My left leg was shaking so badly against the door of the plane that I thought I would break it!  When I was cleared by … (46 comments)

real estate agents: DON'T MEASURE UP, TREASURE UP! - 06/28/08 06:09 PM
I have been out of touch with AR for a couple of weeks due to my doctoral seminars.  During the last two weeks I have experienced a deeper dimension and a richer reality that each one of us is a person who is deeply loved, completely accepted and highly valued as a MARVELOUS MIRACLE!

We need to learn to live from our being and the WHO and not from the whats.  Acceptance is not based on performance.  The whats should flow out of the who.  If we put the whats before the who and perform for acceptance we will experience insanity.

real estate agents: Cut or Peel? - 06/10/08 12:18 PM
In the real estate profession, we must become creative conflict managers to be successful.
Let me tell you a story about a conflict that will help all of us become more effective.  Two young girls were arguing over an orange in the kitchen when their mother walked in.  When she asked what the fight was all about, one daughter said she wanted to use the orange to make a pie.  The other one wanted to eat the fruit.
Their mother took out a big knife and cut the orange in two.  Neither of the girls were satisfied.
A creative conflict management … (8 comments)

real estate agents: Caring for Your Client - 06/04/08 09:24 PM
As a professional in the real estate field you are a bridge builder.  It's not about selling and buying.  It's about being a person who resources and connects your client to resources that they need and want.
When we bought our current house, our agent did not create the best deal.  He cared for us.  Your client won't choose you because you can create the best deals. 
They choose you because they like you!  Why?  Because you care about them.  You are willing to spend the time and energy to find out what they care about.  It's not just about buying … (10 comments)

real estate agents: An Amazing Answer! - 05/30/08 06:22 PM
Yesterday (May 29) I received a call from Dr. Wess Pinkham, Dean of Doctoral Studies, in my doctoral program.  He told me that our seminars had to be moved up a week earlier than previously scheduled.  He said that the school would pay for any extra fees (typically $100.00).
I rescheduled my flight and discovered it would be almost twice the price because it was only a few days away.  About two hours later I received another call from Dr. Pinkham telling me that they were going back to the original schedule because the other seven members of our group could … (10 comments)

real estate agents: Is Active Rain Addicting? - 05/12/08 05:10 PM
I am asking for some help.  Is any other member hooked in this AR community like me?
Please tell me I'm not alone!
I am having a great time seeing all the different members!  I am experiencing a different feeling about this whole on-line stuff!
Visibility is very high on AR.  I am amazed at the powerful stories, insights, creative ideas and overall excellence from all the members!
Let me make a comparison here.  When I go into the local supercenter to buy some food near our house, I see that most of the people are walking around like someone hit … (45 comments)
