I consider myself to be very fortunate to have a very skilled real estate trainer at my finger tips.  Midori Miller is Daytona Beach, Florida's top real estate trainer and she works for my company CENTURY21 Sundance Realty. 

We all have the opportunity to learn and some of us take advantage of it and some of us feel we are to busy.  Well, when Midori came to our office almost 4 years I was very busy, the top dog of our company for many years in a row and had no time for one on one training.  I am an REALTOR who prides herself in continued education and I did not take advantage of this one on one training until recently.

I can honestly say, "Thanks to Midori I am in front of the eight ball with Web 2.0".  Yes, for the last two years Midori has been very politely tell me to blog, blog and do more blogging.  Well I haven't quite mastered that but I can say that I'am putting forth a honest effort. 

Month after month she would give me projects to do such as joining social networks such as Active Rain, Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, etc..  At first I felt like a fish out of water and even to this day sometimes I feel like she is speaking to me in a foreign language.

  For the last two days I have been in a REO certification class with Paradigm Default System.  The content of the course was everything I already knew but now I have credibility to my knowledge.  The last part of the class was on Web 2.0. Let me tell you, I knew everything they were teaching the class and I owe all that to Midori, because she helped me become knowledgeable in an area that I didn't think I really understood.

So I guess the message here is take advantage of the training that might be right under your nose and don't take it for granted.  As we all know it doesn't always last not everything is forever.
