When Being A Lone Wolf Is A Good Thing

Gary, I'm a lone wolf who is part of a group of lone wolves who work together for the same common goal! Thank you for a great Monday post to get me going!

After 17 years in Corporate America, how refreshing it is to be able to have direct accountability for my clients' success (and referrals!).  By nature I'm that Lone Wolf, but know full well that I'm surrounded by a "team" of wonderful partners who help make it happen!

Nothing wrong with being the Lone Wolf. I really enjoy being a Lone Wolf as well.

Gary...Self Reliance is a wonderful trait to posses, a lone wolf can be very loyal and they mate for life...all good in my book.

I too love being a lone wolf so to speak. Actually even though I work for another company and broker after starting and selling the local Century 21 some years ago, I find I am a lone wolf with a team. We don't always play well together but the smile factor when things aren't quite right is always a help. I like your twist on the subject.

I like how you perk me up on Monday mornings!  Thanks Gary

I guess you could say I'm a lone wolf in my office when it comes to blogging.  I try to share with them how great it is......

Gary,

Being positive and cheerful goes a long way.  Whenever you feel down, just find a positive, happy person and your attitude will change.  You might say it is contagious.

WOW I am glad this was featured. I am incredibly gregarious and outgoing at times but basically a lone Wolf myself in exactly the ways you describe!

Gary A lone wolf is a good thing.  This should not prevent you from socializing, as you pointed out it is all in the attitude.

Gary - Wonderful post, short and sweet just the way I like them! As for being a Lone Wolf sometimes being a team player is very important but also a Lone Wolf. I have always been a Lone Wolf most of my life because I travel so much and it is very difficult for people to travel with me.

Thanks for writing about me and not even knowing it!

VB ;o)

Hoowwwllll!!!

I think you need to be a "lone wolf" to be successful in this business, it definitely helps.

It all has its place: time to be the lone wolf, time to be a team player.  They are all important.  I love that 1 happy face.

I like this.  I'm a people person and enjoy being around others.

I think it's a great reminder that one person can make a difference in a person's day.

When I go around smiling and saying hello to strangers, the reactions are often terrific, and on the few days when I'm not in the greatest mood, a smile or a kind word can do the same for me.

I have been on a couple teams and have determined that I am a lone wolf,lol. I just like to go my own way...I do try to make a positive impact, unless you are going the opposite way...lol.

Gary, there was a Realtor at National convention one year, maybe 2000... He was on a panel talking about his smile being his "secret weapon or best marketing tool.  I wish I could remember who he is... It was impressive!
