Who's on YOUR bus?

Whew!

I took a few days away from the blogging world as the kids had a long "Fall Break" Week-end. We frolicked around Middle Tennessee the past 4 days and literally spent most of our time outside . . . I LOVE this Fall Weather!

As you are meandering through your days, do you have the sense that most of the folks around you are really "On Board" with you? Do they "Get" you? Do their goals align with yours? Do they even KNOW your goals? Do they even know their OWN goals? . . . and most importantly, Is YOUR vision clear in your OWN mind?

Hate to throw so many questions at you in such a flurry, but the reality is that most folks could use a little (a LOT) of work in this realm. This is easy stuff to talk about but isn't all that easy to implement. In the Keller Williams lingo, we talk a lot about "The Big WHY" . . . "Aiming HIGH" . . . "BIG ROCKS" . . . and we spend a LOT of time focusing on the importance of paying to attention to what MATTERS in our lives.

One subtle (albeit highly essential component) of this is paying attention to who is journeying along with us. Are we surrounding ourselves with people who support our goals and up-lift us? Are these people energy givers or energy suckers?

I just read a neat little book that I highly recommend. The Energy Bus - 10 Rules to Fuel Your Life, Work, and Team with Positive Energy by Jon Gordon - This book is a "Business Fable" with a pretty darn good formula for leading the reader down the path of creating a healthy environment of supportive people and positive ENERGY. The bottom line really is in defining "Your bus" and then knowing who is on your bus with you and whether or not those folks are CEO's (Chief Energy Officers) in your world or "Energy Vampires"

As you wander through life, invite more CEOs along to ride with you and deal with the vampires either by kicking them off your bus or helping them "see the light"

This book is an easy read, and I believe a great book for anyone who is not feeling personally fulfilled at work or at home . . . and gives some good advice on building teams that thrive.

If nothing else, it's refreshing to read an up-lifting story of Positive Energy flow amidst the turmoil of today's global environment.

Get the right people on YOUR bus and cue yourself up for a RECORD number of closings before year-end!

Best,
