reward: Essential Networking for Customer Service - 10/09/08 01:01 PM
Need a contractor, an appraiser, an agent that works heavily in the investment arena? After expanding our business into Property Management I realized just how small my "circle of influences" is.

reward: Inspiration is all around you #2 - 10/08/08 04:09 PM
As I stated yesterday, I don't have to look too far to get inspiration. I have a set of framed lithos, each with their own inspiration phrase.
We are all currently challenged in this market...
CHALLENGE - The harder the (golf) course, the more rewarding the triumph.
For everyone out there

reward: When it comes.....will you be ready? - 07/21/08 11:01 AM
When it comes will you be ready?
When SUCCESS comes will you be ready to handle it? As professionals we all have our plan, our daily regiment and our goals.
When we practice what we preach, we are surly more successful. Are we better teacher's than we are students?
I am sure

reward: Birth of a salesman - 07/10/08 03:17 PM
... with apologies to the late Arthur Miller. Should probably read as 'Birth of a (great) salesman', because otherwise, what's the point? There are thousands of salesman working tirelessly in their chosen field, but how many can be consider great.
What is it that you do, to distinguish yourself in your

reward: I Finally Broke Down and Bought My Son A Nintendo DS Lite! - 06/19/08 11:16 PM
I was certain that my boys would never be glued to one of those hand-held video game systems, mostly because I had no intention of buying one!
Well, my oldest boy, Jacob, had a birthday yesterday. He turned 8. He was asking Santa for one of these things last Christmas

reward: Risky Business... - 04/04/08 05:30 PM
There is a school of thought that says the bigger the risk the bigger the reward. Don't take that philosophy to Vegas or you may regret it. Risk is an important part of success. Not risk for risk sake. Rather risk that has been measured and tested a bit. Several years

reward: Focus on Reward - 03/27/08 04:28 PM
I recently had one of those "oh yeah" moments while driving to visit my son and his fiancee on Easter Sunday. The drive to my son's new home is about 75 miles and the freeways, especially on weekends and holidays, are absolutely terrible. I always dread that drive. But this time while

reward: 3x Results for Achieving Goals...... or NOT! - 02/11/08 11:16 PM
A lot of people don't believe in the power of setting goals and most of them get exactly to the place they were planning... Nowhere! I believe goals must be attainable, not always reached necessarily, but certainly realistic! There are 3 outcomes of achieving goals that are worth their weight and then some, just from taking

reward: The Prize at the Bottom of the Box - 11/30/07 11:03 PM
The true reward in our business is not in the commission checks or in the flexible schedule we're allowed, but rather in the friends we make along the way and the things we're able to do to help those friends. A few months ago, I received a call from a homeowner (Chris)

I was visiting with my friends over at Big Sticks Fine Cigars on Friday night and was terribly disappointed to hear that they had recently been the victims of a theft. It happened on Thursday, November 1st. They noticed a watch missing and went back to their surveillance videos to see where it went.

Oh, I know your dream was for us to be "Doctors and Lawyers" and such. For whatever reason, we became cowboys. No, we did not ultimately choose that 9 to 5 existence. While most of the people we take care of are eeking out a living Monday through Friday, we opted

In today's market for some the closings are fewer and far between. What used to be is no longer. Change is inevitable. But... not all things have to change. I remember last year when business was up, the investors were in full throttle mode, and sales came about a whole lot

reward: The roles of a broker/manager - 08/08/07 11:16 PM
There are many roles we as brokers, owners or managers play in the lives of our agents. One key role is as a motivator. I've found that most people are motivated by one of two things... rewards or fear. Agents can become discouraged, lazy, complacent or just tired. There are many things

If you're like me, the pending approach of 12/31/xx is all about "change." Have you ever wondered how you can avoid being a "tourist" amongst all of us who set out once annually to change habits, lifestyles, etc.? Most of make it through the first 90 days and then incentive seems to

Keeping with the concept of effective time management it is of great importance even for small successes to celebrate achievement of goals.

You cannot get much more rewarding than after showing homes, late into the evening, and your buyers calls your cell phone while you are still driving on you way to your home, and your buyers say, I want to put in an offer on the first house you showed us. YEA YEA YEA.
