real estate systems: The Show Goes On No Matter What! - 06/01/14 12:45 PM
The Show Goes On No Matter What!
I just watched a Public Television Diana Ross Special.
It was filmed in Central Park in 1983 over two days.
Day One was a rain out.
Day Two was a make up.
It was sensational. It was a super STAR at her brightest.
No matter what, she kept going. 
It's the going that gets you to superstardom. 
Through all the rain, all you could see was the SHINE.

real estate systems: If You Think About Something Long Enough the Answer Will a Come To You - 03/09/14 09:04 AM
If You Think About Something Long Enough the Answer Will Come To You.
My Dad would repeat that quote from my Grandmother often.
If you think about it that means they each expected their child to figure out the right path or choice or solution on their own. 
Now today's thought after 7-10 days of overcoming Quickbooks challenges is that I'm ready for that to come true.
I'm ready for the answers to come to me SOON. 
Oh well. Back to the Quickbooks drawing board Monday Morn.

real estate systems: When You See A Real Estate Train WRECK Coming, DISEMBARK - 02/03/14 09:43 PM
When You See A Real Estate Train WRECK Coming, DISEMBARK.
Let me rephrase that.
WARN all passengers plus DISEMBARK.
It boils down to this.
We are running a business.
It's a tough business. It's not for the feint of heart.
We are using our business time and our business resources.
Time is money.
For Buyers Systems, loan paperwork, agency paperwork, compelling reason to purchase, loyalty and teamwork are prerequisites.
For Seller Systems, DITTO on the compelling reason to sell, loyalty and teamwork. Then the Golden Results "Triumvirate" are NAIL the condition ( pre home inspection and repairs/staging ) , NAIL … (32 comments)

real estate systems: How to Get Back on the Blogging Bandwagon - 07/28/13 02:20 AM
How to Get Back on the Blogging Bandwagon?
Well, come Sunday, when you discover you have none of the TEN weekly posts written, you....
Take Responsibilty and realize the commitment is ten a week so that means ten today.
Ten today means spread them all over the day  so they do not get in your way of other projects.
Today's project?
Clean the work closet top to bottom.
After pushing, tugging, moving and rearranging the HUGE work closet to make it more systems friendly, a little blog post here and there is a welcome relief.
Looking forward to the end of the … (3 comments)

What Happens When Your Realtor Systems Break Down?
Better yet, what happens when you get your Realtor Systems BACK in place so you can go to TOWN without A FROWN?
Quite a poet laureate that Golden Girl, Cheryl.
Well, increased production, higher speed, more efficiency...the opposite of being a stuck in the MUD DUD.
I finally got the hang of all the new forms and systems at the NEW RE/MAX Office.
I was in a FUNK. I finally took a spreadsheet, made a list, and got some systems in place.
So, noooowwwww, less complaining and more paperwork processing in rural Southern … (2 comments)

real estate systems: All mine. Yep, it's all mine. - 04/04/13 12:32 PM

All mine. Yep, it's all mine.
Well, Riley Rover has had his comforter staked out most of the day.
He's been awfully quiet while I have chugged and plugged away on paperwork.
I worked out a new system for uploading paperwork into MLS.
I figured out a good checklist which I implemented today. Well, sort of implemented.
After hours and hours and hours of improving the checklist, I was finally ready to upload the docs with the checklist I toiled over.
So you know what happened, right? Yep, the system was broken or just plain down.
I should have told … (8 comments)
