Cheese

In these more challenging times in the housing market, we have to work harder to stay upbeat and positive.

I like to read sales and marketing books to stay motivated and get new ideas.

I ran across a great little book named, Who Moved My Cheese?  

It's a quick read and I would highly recommend it as an instant "attitude adjustment." 

Life is what you make of it! 

Happy selling!

Lara- It is hard in pretty much every market right now, just have to stick in there stay focused and keep motivated... If that doesn't work take a fun weekend vacation and come back refreshed with a new perspective on life. so true, life is what YOU make of it :-D

Chris- excellent advice. I'll tell my boss that Chris said it was okay that I take a few days off :-)~

You work every weekend?? Geez you need to get an assistant lol

10/04/2008 08:23 PM by Chris Horton (Horton's Lawn Care L.L.C.)


I only take one day off during the week and even then I take calls and check email. Full commission means full time :-) I need to figure out a way to get more balance.

Lara- One somewhat day is better than no days at all I guess lol

Lara - Definitely a good way to stay motivated. I will add this to my reading list. Thanks!

Lara,

I have read this book (long ago) but every agent who hasn't read it needs to read it now.

I agree that it is a wonderful book, easy read and will help to clarify just what is happening in your world.  Change happens!

I love that little book-I need to revist it....thanks for reminding me!!

I just got my copy in the mail last week!  Starting it tomorrow!  Looks like an easy read.  KM

Chris - I enjoy whatever time I have to myself. AR is also a nice place to unwind.

Tanya - I think you will enjoy it. It's all about a positive outlook to change.

Janna - You said it, change happens. It's a great little pick me up book.

Cathy Lee - I think I'm going to take my own advice and read it again too.

Kristin - I hope you enjoy it. The main characters are really cute and funny.

Lara, Thank Heaven they were not dealing the cheese!  It is important to remember to stay positive even when the chees is stinky.

10/06/2008 02:53 PM by Jane Page Thompson (The Carolina Real Estate Company)


Yes Jane, there is some very stinky 'cheese' out there :-)

Hi Lara

Who Moved My Cheese is an excellent book. It totally relates to our market today, the real estate professionals have to look for business in new places.

Good luck and success

Lara:  I am wondering if the same person who moved your cheese... also moved mine.  I have looked everywhere... but I guess I have yet to hit just the right place.

Speaking of "stinking" cheese... I guess one could either say that all cheese stinks... it's just that some cheese stinks more than others... OR... all cheese is wonderful... but some cheese is more wonderful than others.  

Both of these statements say exactly the same thing... they just say it from opposite sides of the "attitudinal world."  Stay positive, Ms Lara.

Thanks Lou. Good luck and success to you too!

Karen Anne, an excellent point! It's all in how you look at things. Glass half empty or half full? Some days are easier to be positive than others, but I'm holding on tight to my rose colored glasses!

10/17/2008 12:26 PM by Lara O'Keefe (McKinney Greens-Golf Course Community) (DR Horton Homes)


You are right! Great Book!!! Nothing is the same. but there are lots of opportunities no matter what is going on!!!

10/17/2008 12:41 PM by Joeann Fossland, Master Certified Coach (Advantage Solutions Group)


Joeann, you are right. There are lots of opportunities out there, we just have to look harder to find them.

Hi Lara, gread advice, I just dusted off my bookshelf and took out Jeffrey Gitomer' Lttle Red Book of Selling, also a good one for attitude adjustments.BTW I am like you I do not take time off and if I do the Blackberry is with me:)))

10/17/2008 07:35 PM by Endre Barath,Jr. (Coldwell Banker)


Endre, thanks for stopping by. That's a great book too. I need to read it again :-)

10/18/2008 11:24 AM by Lara O'Keefe (McKinney Greens-Golf Course Community) (DR Horton Homes)


Lara-I will have to check this book out. Looking forward to reading it. Thanks for the tip.

10/19/2008 11:24 PM by Laura Watts (Positive Properties, LLC)


Laura, I hope you enjoy the book. It's a quick pick me up when you need it.
