What does this mean "to do business you must be in business"? Business is an arena that functions for a purpose and specific end result.

The secret to business success is out. Practicing business however remains the challenge

business: FOUR WISE REAL ESTATE AGENTS
- 12/20/16 04:39 PM
One day, a long time ago, four wise Real Estate agents were on their way to a big city with dreams to set-up offices and conduct business. They traveled far & wide with the hope and expectation that once they arrived, and after they got settled in, business would start to come to them. This was reasonable to expect. This was their collective plan
ON THE WAY...
While still some major distance away from the big city destination, the four agents passed through a small, just getting started type of little village, with much needy people, wanting to get ahead and get started … (11 comments)

business: BUSINESSES RUN ON FORMULAS
- 09/10/16 12:45 AM
What does it cost to take a product or service and provide it to the public at large and when all is said and done, you make a profit... not money there is a difference. Behind everything is the cost that it takes make it work and to keep it working, someone has to be paid for their time as well. Income is one thing and expenses another. Do a little math and you will discover your profit margin. Is this profitable?
HOW MUCH DO YOU NEED?
Return on investment/profit margin for all the time, trouble and delivery of services or products is what governs & … (6 comments)

business: MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS DAY
- 03/21/15 11:44 PM
Here's a great Holiday to put into action and will do much good too. MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS DAY can be used for professional or personal honoring ones business and has some great possibilities and potentials for personal apps too.

business: WHAT ISN'T ALWAYS RIGHT BUT NEVER WRONG?
- 03/18/15 12:06 AM
The CUSTOMER. They are not always entitled to what they want, why they want it and when and in some cases customer abuse is out and about. When we expose ourselves to the public at large, we also have to take the dynamics that come with it. It's a mix at times and can be a distraction. So, the benefit has to go somewhere...
ENTER THE CUSTOMER
I get a tickle out of those signs that say "WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO REFUSE SERVICE TO ANYONE". What a mixed message when relying on the public to beat a path to your door. However, … (5 comments)

business: BEING KEPT WAITING?
- 03/09/15 06:18 AM
Please tell me you like it and don't mind being kept waiting. I want honesty here. When is it okay to keep a consumer, customer or someone interested in your product or service waiting? If that ever becomes the norm, we will all be on a bread or soup line waiting not to starve
BUSINESS IS NOT TO BE DRAWN OUT BUT CONSUMMATED
Business is two or more people coming together for a purpose and it is usually takes place in the moment it is being done. It is not complex. A mutual exchange of values each beneficial to the other takes … (2 comments)

business: THIS TOPIC NEVER GETS OLD
- 10/15/14 12:02 AM
Answering the phone. The phone is a tool of the business. Look at it as opening the front door of a bricks & mortar operation. When you put the key in the lock, reverse the closed sign to open, turn on the lights, people can now come and go. Your in business! Supporting that is what banks did for centuries called banking hours. Today, the phone is just that. It is a call (pun) and an answer (pun) to business
MIXED MESSAGES
Imagine a sign on your store that says...Back in 1/2 hour or out to lunch or the popular cardboard … (5 comments)

business: WHAT KNOCKS ON DOORS & WONT TAKE A NO FOR AN ANSWER
- 08/12/14 05:08 AM
Jehovah Witness? NO...Real Estate agent? NO again. Aluminum siding salesmen? NO. How about it is Colonel Sanders? YES. That is what this guy did when he was just getting started with his business. His dream was perfected in his mind and now to add LEGS to it (chicken legs?) and the rest is history but the details are not known. This guy would knock on your door with his pots, pans, ice chest, and carry-all and offer to cook YOU a chicken dinner
WAS IT FINGER LICKING GOOD?
He only needed your kitchen and he would clean up after himself to boot. All … (21 comments)

business: WHAT IF YOU ARE WRONG ON PRICING?
- 07/28/14 12:50 AM
We all know that when a seller of a piece of Real Estate wants to move the product and cash out, wanting top dollar is expected even reasonable and a good selling agent will see to it that the sellers position is optimized. Fiduciary makes it the agents job to see to it that the clients expectations are carried out. But what if the price that the seller wants is too high or not in line with the market?
IF THE SELLER INSISTS
The first few days out there should tell the story. Yes, there is a risk of losing people who know value and want to … (10 comments)

business: WHAT YOUR INSURANCE DOES OR DOES NOT DO
- 07/20/14 12:17 AM
I don't like this subject or care for it and I am not alone. Many visit with it either indirectly or when compelled to do so. Who wakes up in the morning cant wait to go read the small, boring, fine print found in their insurance policy? It is not even good for putting you to sleep as it raises so many questions that will leave you wondering all night long about
INSURANCE AGENT
Most people just want to call their Insurance agent. Now there is an agent we all need, love, respect, want and cannot live without. It is that person who will tell … (5 comments)

business: YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR
- 07/16/14 12:25 AM
Simply put that when we go to a doctor, we are wanting them to handle and direct a certain outcome that will better us and we gladly pay for this opportunity. Same with hiring an attorney. There are times we need to defend or take a stand and we hire up to get that job done. In Real Estate, people who are going move product valued in the hundreds of thousands of dollars are trusting agents to make this happen
SERVICES WORTH PAYING FOR
In all examples listed above, a fee is charged for services. It is understood where the buck stops and starts in … (4 comments)

business: STOP THE POST I WANT TO GET OFF
- 07/10/14 06:02 AM
LOL...Look... I hope that everyone is blogging, commenting and posting for fun, business and pleasure as well as networking and of course fine tuning and honing their skills and talents. Lets not work our keyboard fingers raw to the bone as Cinderella's wicked step-mother and sisters would have us do! NO. Find the positive and meaningful point (pun) for doing what you do and then do it
LEARNING TO BLOG
I remember when I signed up to ActiveRain and wanted to learn how to comment, post and blog and nothing else and that to me was daunting in and of itself. It took a while for me … (0 comments)

business: WHERE ALL ROADS LEAD TO...
- 07/07/14 07:49 AM
YOU. They lead to you! Blogging, commenting, posting, socializing, advertising, web sites, signage and word of mouth all end up at some point on your doorstep and then, you will hear this knocking sound. That is the opportunity trying to get you to answer the door and let it complete its journey
$10,000 says answer the phones
I worked in an office doing loan modifications during the most recent Real Estate crash and every week, the office manager would take out an ad that would cost $10,000 to run. He would tell everyone prior to the ad breaking that he bought ads and … (4 comments)

business: POSTING BLOGGING COMMENTING are ELECTRONIC BUSINESS CARDS
- 06/30/14 12:25 AM
That's what we are all doing when we enter into cyberspace and blog, comment or post. We are in affect giving out or sharing our contact. Some do it to socialize while others to build their business. Whatever the motivation, it is the established way to know and be known in today's interactive world
BEING KNOWN
Whoever the target audience is, when we post, blog or comment, we are allowing others to experience how we think, feel and conduct ourselves and a variety of subject matters. The more you share, the more of a comfort level takes place. Intimacy takes place when we share what and who we are

business: ONE ROUND TRIP TICKET FOR CYBERSPACE PLEASE
- 06/27/14 01:01 AM
I have to travel into and about cyberspace and ACTIVERAIN is my ticket to get there. That's all I know and have been doing this for years now. I needed a Internet presence to promote myself, my business and share some points of views. In addition, I often come across some interesting situations that I like to blog about and promote
ALL ABOARD
For getting online, ACTIVERAIN certainly made it easy to do. I remember first seeing how everyone else was doing it...IT being posting, blogging and commenting. Then, I signed up and got my feet wet. When I felt certain about what … (10 comments)

business: THE ELEVENTH POST

I wanted to see what it would be like to exceed my 10 posts per week AND get the points that go with it. I have written more than ten posts a week in the past as well as commented over the limits too. I have never posted the amount of re-blogs but I have heard of many that do
THE ELEVENTH POST & POINTS
I wanted to see what it felt like to be able to earn more points for this simple act. As you all know, you now can write 20 posts a week instead of 10 and the points … (6 comments)

business: DOING BUSINESS WITH DIFFICULT PEOPLE
- 05/26/14 07:07 AM
I like everyone until I have a reason not too. In business, you never know what to expect. Everyone starts out the same way until the "one" issue comes up. That is where you find out who's who and how they think. What are their skills and what skills do they lack?
WHY ARE YOU SO UPSET?
The most often unexpected reaction to a circumstance that could use a different resolution is anger which has its roots in judgment of others. Some people just look for something to judge so they can release their anger accordingly. In business? Not a good arena if you want good results

business: LETS BE CLEAR ABOUT BEING AVAILABLE
- 05/13/14 03:10 AM
Unless you are running an Emergency treatment room staffed for 24 hour shifts, who works 24/7? Sometimes we make a point by saying we do but lets face it, Real Estate agents and other Real Estate centered folks will not answer the phone at certain times
DAILY PERFORMANCES
Consider that the Real Estate industry is geared toward certain working hours having to do with business and perhaps consultations. However, what can an agent really do in off or odd hours? Most of our activities centers on acceptable normal business hours for our performances
WHEN I HAVE A PRODUCT

business: TALKING TURKEY AND NOT ON THANKSGIVING EITHER
- 05/09/14 12:56 AM
I am working on a potential complicated Real Estate deal that involves a lot of key moves that require action plays which call for multiple action players. Its for big money and involves a degree of personal dynamics as well. I am being purposely vague but my point is...Can we all handle this?
DOING THE UPFRONT WORK
We call a meeting where the three main players are going to be involved. We don't know much about each other and how this deal will materialize. However, we have to decide rather quickly if we are all capable of maneuvering this type of Real Estate deal to … (4 comments)
