emotional intelligence: Take Action: Eat Your Breakfast - 11/24/20 06:37 AM

 
"Feedback is the breakfast of champions."
~ Authors, Ken Blanchard and Spencer Johnson
 
Your action for today
is to ask your spouse or boss
what is one thing they think
you could do better.
 
I have monthly check-ins with my bride
and quarterly check-ins with my broker
asking 3 simple questions for accountability:
 
1. What should I do More Of?
2. What should I do Less Of?
3. What should I Start Doing, which I'm currently not?
 
You have to listen to the answers, 
never respond to them,
unless it's to ask probing questions for clarity.
 
Design an Extraordinary Day!

emotional intelligence: Take Action: No Waiting To Exhale - 11/06/20 06:37 AM
"Resentment is like drinking poison
and hoping it will kill your enemies."
Nobel Prize Winner, Nelson Mandela
 
Your action for today
is to see if you harbor animosity
towards someone and
see what it would take to let go of it.
 
 
I harbored much anger in my youth.
Today, I either forgive & forget or
settle for peaceful indifference and move on.
I only allow myself one hour to be angry.
Then, I have to do something positive;
like workout, hike or do something kind for
for a family member, friend, client or stranger.
Anger & bitterness is cancer. Live cancer-free.

Your action for today
is to drive the speed limit

emotional intelligence: Take Action: Wherever You Go, There YOU Are - 10/19/20 05:40 AM
"Often we change jobs, friends
and spouses instead of ourselves."
~ Author, Arkbarali Jetha
 
Your action for today
is to ask someone--it could be your spouse,
friend or work colleague;
what would be one thing
they would like for you to change.
 
 
You don't have to agree to implement the change.
All you're doing is getting the information.
 
 
I actually did this with 5 trusted clients 20 years ago
and it changed the way I did business.
I do this often with my bride; 18 years of marriage.
You can quit your job, seek out new friends,
get a divorce: but you bring you - wherever you go.

emotional intelligence: Take Action: Water Your Lawn - 09/21/20 06:00 AM
"When the grass looks greener
on the other side of the fence,
it may be that they take better care of it there."
~ Writer, Cecil Selig
 
 
Your action for today
is to identify something
that you would like
to have in your life
and take a few steps
toward making it happen.
 
I have witnessed the karma unfold
on a "greener grass" poor-decision.
Because of this, I can guarantee you,
the neighbor 's lawn has weeds and
their lawn's care takes work too!
You take you - with you - wherever you go.

emotional intelligence: Take Action: Evict the Anger - 08/26/20 07:25 AM

"When you hold resentment toward another,
you are bound to that person or condition
by an emotional link that is stronger than steel.
Forgiveness is the only way
to dissolve that link and get free."
~ Author, Catherine Ponder
 
Your action for today
is to see if you are holding a grudge
against someone and choose to forgive them. 
 
 
As the landlord of my heart and mind, I'm learning
to evict my anger and never rent space to hate.
I saved my now 18 year marriage through forgiveness
and I freed myself of childhood anger by forgiving someone
that didn't even know I did forgive them. … (7 comments)

emotional intelligence: Take Action: Lighten Up Man - 08/25/20 06:16 AM
 
"Managing to have a sense of humor

~ Psychologist, Steve Wilson
 
Your action for today
is to have a good laugh about
one of your funny quirks.
 
 
 I have discovered in both business ownership and community leadership,
levity goes a long way with people's learning and loyalty.
Real estate is serious business, but its not life or death,
and it can even be fun...remember fun?
Therefore we need to lighten up and deliver it with a smile.
While we can and should take the responsibility of it seriously;
 levity can be the lubricant for its smoother execution and delivery.
So, lighten up man! Don't take yourself so seriously.😉

emotional intelligence: If You're Happy and You Know It...Tell Your Face! - 08/25/20 06:06 AM
 
Brian Buffini of Buffini & Company Coaching 
always reminds us as we are going
about our days with family, friends and clients
...or just staring back at him on stage from the audience: 
 
"If You're Happy and You Know It...Tell Your Face!"
 
 
Remember to smile...and if your on the phone
let them feel your smile through the phone.
People actually learn better through levity too!

My sales manager Richard, at Coldwell Banker called me into his office one day back in 2010, very much during The '07-'11 Crash, after hearing me on the phone all stressed out with a "short sale negotiator"🙄. Apparently was being very vocal about it...who me?

emotional intelligence: Take Action: Verify Your Truth - 08/18/20 06:24 AM
"Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact.
Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth."
~ Roman Emperor, Marcus Aurelius
 
 
Your action for today
is to examine one of your strong opinions,
and question if perhaps the facts that support it
are not opinions themselves.
 
Now, natural laws, math and science aside,
it took me a while to agree with this quote,
until I realized some of my strongest opinions
were hand-me-downs opinions from my parents.
In our pre-election, "mask debated-pandemic world", 
this quote seemed appropriate. Verify Your Truth.
