Denver Real Estate Advice for Learning how to Learn! 

Between real estate and technology there seems to always be something to learn.  I remember on more than Cody helping Noah out of his car seatone occasion when I sat in front of a computer trying to figure out what the heck I was doing wrong.  Over and over I would try something only to find whatever I was trying to do was escaping me.

Today, I was sitting at the computer when I noticed a new comment on an old blog I wrote.  The comment was from Candi Kinney who was having trouble linking.  Reflecting back to my past frustrations, I didn't want her to go through what I did so many times before. So I picked up the phone and called her.  We chatted and two minutes later Candi was happily linking, (with a big smile on her face I'm sure!)

It was fun to surprise her and help her on her way.

My take away for you in this is NOT to EXPECT ME or anyone to call, but to take it upon yourself to ask for help.

I have found when I want to learn something the BEST thing to do is HIRE a Tutor.  Seek out someone who knows how to do what you are learning. PAY THEM to teach you.  Money is good, bartering might be better.

The best thing with having a tutor is they can speak to your problem.  You don't have to go all the way to the bottom of the rung of learning.  They can jump right in at what you don't know and start there!

In my experience, this has saved my headaches and money!  Try it!

Now let's blog...

So true, so true. I think many times we hesitate to divulge our inabilities, and don't ask for help (kinda like guys asking for directions!) I have been meeting with Mark Flanders, the leading scorer here in WA state. He is incredibly knowledgable on all things net-worthy.

I'm sure you two together will teach each other.  Wish I could join you!

As a tutoree (all things computer & the 'net) and as a tutor (household repairs), I can tell you, the only reward I enjoy more than learning something, is the smile I see when something I taught is successfully accomplished.

It's great to see the AHA when something clicks! It's one of the bennies of teaching and sharing.

It's hard for people to admit that they don't get it.  I'm still learning this whole SEO and AR linking and posting, but really feels great to know there are a lot of nice and giving people in AR willing to teach.   Thanks guys!

"and Kristal scores the elusive duplx"   well done. 

You are a blogging wizard.  Any chance that your blogging seminar a while back got recorded?  I'd love to hear it.

No change it got recorded.  I'm happy to do it again, now that I have learned from my mistakes!

One of the title companyies (actually 2) have asked me to do something, but nothing is firmed up yet...I'll let you know CREN.

My background is in technology.  I have helped tons of real estate agents and I teach a class.  I have never made a dime from this.  Most agents won't pay for help.  I have however gotten some referrals and every time I go on vacation everyone say yes when I ask them to watch my business.

Ines ~ LOL that was cute of you!  What are you doing wandering around these old posts?  I'm glad to did, because I got to look at my adorable little boys who are getting so big now!

Ines ~ Google alerts are a bit tardy!  The baby in the photo is going to be 3 next week.  Everytime he has seen me for the past 2 months, he tells me his birthday is coming. He's so excited about it after having witnessed the big brother's #4!  They are cute and rambunctious.  I don't know how their Mom keeps up with them. Oh and she's pregnate with a little girl  now!  Yippee!
