! Yes, many of us have the tools for success from past experience.

You may not have had the honor of being a Marine, but no one has missed John Wayne's movies. Unlike any other service in the free world the United States Marine Corp lives their moto Simper Fidelis! Semper Fi, always faithful! There can be no greater thing said about your broker/agents than they are always faithful!

Real Estate Success With Things We Know

Many more of us were Boy Scouts. The Boy Scouts moto: Be Prepared! A successful agent must be prepared. With the tools and forms of real estate and the knowledge to use them.

Then there is the inspirations of Ansel Adams.

Adams took photos most were done with a huge view camera. He'd lug his hevey equipment to the selected spot set it up focus often shifting the focal plane to correct for parallax and then wait! He'd sit with his camera ready and wait for the perfect light. If he though he'd missed the light he'd wait for 24 hours for it to return. It was rare he had more than two or three plates (pieces of film) with him. In this age of digital cameras, instant gratification and multitasking, it's hard to know what is more impressive, his eye for natural beauty or his patience to get it right the first and last time!

That is a beautiful picture and a great motto. Hopefully we can all live up to that motto every day in our business.

Bill I was in the Navy, and learned some valuable lessons there.  Both my Boys are Eagle Scouts, and I learned valuable lessons through their walk to becoming Eagle Scouts.  And now I am learning that I have to do my best to get it right the first time, because my Borrowers can afford me making mistakes.  Life is one big classroom, may we never stop learning.

George,

Wow, two Eagle Scouts that says great things about them and their parents! I know I was a Scout so were my brothers Jack, Joe and Tom. Tom's three boys are all Eagle Scouts!

My referance to Semper Fi was not meant to slight the other services espicily the Corps transportation department. :>) What would we do with out Navy corpsman and Navy cooks. You do know that if they find out that a Marine can cook they make him a grunt!

"And now I am learning that I have to do my best to get it right the first time, because my Borrowers can afford me making mistakes."  I started here 3 years when you did, if you're learning it's only new labels for things you've been doing right for years! 

"Life is one big classroom, may we never stop learning."  Amen! Ain't life grand? :>)

Real estate success is also about learning things we don't know. I am a better person because of people like you who challenge my belief systems and other people who understand what I am doing and have improved or added to my knowledge.
