The Energy Bus by Jon Gordon, one of the best books I have read lately

By
Real Estate Agent with The Payne Group at Keller Williams Success Realty

Have you read The Energy Bus?  This book came to me from my favorite title agent at a time where I was at a crossroads in my business.  We had to decide which road that we wanted to take as a team and this book showed me the way!!

The Energy Bus is a book about harnessing the power of positive energy as positive energy breeds positive thoughts and results.

What does your energy bus look like?  Does your bus have a flat tire?

Over the next few blogs/days I hope to be starting a discussion with my real estate professional  friends here on AR about the RULES OF THE ENERGY BUS!

RULE #1  YOU ARE THE DRIVER OF YOUR BUS

Are you driving your energy bus or do you allow the negative influences around you to drive your bus?  In Real Estate terms, do you control the market or do you allow the market to control you.  All around us we hear about everything that is negative about the market, if we listen to all of it, we would slip into being negative and unproductive.  In reality, this is the best market if you are a buyer, buyers are buying and we need to put buyers on our energy bus too!  Homes are selling, buyers are buying, affordability is probably better than ever, interest rates are low, THIS IS A GREAT MARKET!

My team believes that this is the best opportunity market, the time to grab our market share and never give it up.   We believe, like the analogy in the book, that there are 2 dogs within us, the negative dog and the positive dog.  We also believe that the dog that gets fed the most is the dog that will be the stronger dog and the one that does not get fed will starve to death.  Our positive dog gets the good food!!!!!

Please tell me your thoughts, are you driving your energy bus??????????????

Have you read the book

Jeff,

It sounds like a book I may need to add to the list.  I did just read a review on another that did a study on the effects of negativity in the work place.  It's pretty toxic stuff and has lasting issues long after the source has been removed.

Brian, negativity is very toxic and it is very contagious.  Did you know that more people die on Monday mornings before 9AM than any other time?  I guess they would rather die than go to work.

I am the opposite, I am raring to go Monday morning!

I am a avid reader but have not read this one. I find that these type books although interesting does not get to the root of the subject or form to everyday use and I guess none do. I wish I could just turn off the negative and on the positive but by the time I get to my office every morning a bunch of folks have already rained on my parade and I am drowning.

I will check it out though, I can can be found at the bookstore at least twice a week.
