business principles: Getting Things Done - A Must Read/Listen - 12/10/07 07:07 PM
I recently re-read and listened to the audio book by David Allen Getting Things Done - The Art of Stress-Free Productivity.  The difference this time - I was ready to put the techniques to use and have discovered a system that works for me.   The major aha for me was realizing my "to do" list is not enough.  The key step I was missing was taking the time to think about and record the "next action" to take in order to move a project forward to my desired outcome.
The basic premise of the book is to get everything out of your … (4 comments)

business principles: How To THRIVE in the Current Real Estate Market - 11/10/07 04:28 PM
Our current real estate market in Las Vegas (and around the country) presents an interesting test for all involved... from the buyers, to the sellers to the practicing real estate agents and also for the brokerage firms  I've been living and working in Las Vegas since 1992 and this is my first experience in a "challenging market".   Fueled by local and national media with a slant to reporting the negative, "newsworthy" hype of doom and gloom, buyers are afraid to purchase, waiting for the  elusive "bottom of the market" before jumping back in.  Sellers are holding on to every ounce of … (27 comments)

business principles: Creating a Saleable Asset & Designing Your Exit Strategy - Part 1 - 07/26/07 12:49 AM
The primary focus of much of the coaching I conduct with real estate agents is how to set-up, operate and ultimately exit from their successful real estate business.  In this multi-part series I want to discuss some of the key points and strategies for making that happen.  In my experience as a broker-manager and coach for the last 15 years, it amazes me how many top-producing agents are unbelievable rainmakers and not always the best at managing their finances or their team, setting up and utilizing effective systems and running the business like a business.
As an industry, training is primarily focused … (0 comments)

business principles: Keys to an Achievable Outcome - 06/21/07 07:42 PM
I have found the following questions to be useful to both me and those I coach when contemplating and writing goals or outcomes.  This series of questions are the keys to achievable outcomes.  When you take the time to consider each question after stating your desired outcome you will enhance the overall power and clarity of your written goals or outcomes.
1. What specifically do you want? 
Stated in the positive, present-tense, as if you already have it. Clearly defined, vibrant, written goals in all areas of you life.   (Spiritual, Personal, Family, Business, Financial, Fun-Hobbies-Travel)2. Where are you now in relation to … (2 comments)

I'd like to share a tool I use when coaching real estate and business professionals - the 5 principles of success.  It's adapted from my NLP coach training and have found it is very effective in a variety of ways - goal setting, business planning, coaching & managing team members.
