Improve Your Knowledge or Lose it

Could not agree more with this post.  Knowledge is also the key to the American Dream.   Thanks for posting.

Lou, Like my dad used to say "Use IT or Lose IT!" I stiil believe that! Thank you for the memory!

This is a great time to increase knowledge, not only through continuing education, but by stretching out of our conmfort zone in any way we can. It's also a great time to get back to basics like doind open houses to practice sales skills and previewing homes to stay current on the inventory.

Either you are moving forward or you are moving backward, but regardless of what you are doing, you are moving. :)

Hi Lou, and ActiveRain is a great place to continue to learn everyday.

One of the best examples of this is the knowledge of a second language.  If it not used on a regular basis, it is quickly forgotten. 

Hi Lou:

It's so true...

Kind of reminds me of the saying "if you don't use it, you lose it"...

Knowledge is one of the HUGE beneefits of active rain. It introduces so many subjects.

My reading last nght talked about the "in between" place - between one set of ideas and another. Remaining teachable, so that new knowledge gets in those nooks and crannies that are my mind, is key. If I - or let's say a seller holding onto their outdated notion of what their house should sell for -- don't let go of old ideas that no longer serve me, there is no room for new information or wisdom.

How true.  The agents who are experiencing a slowdown in their area and use this time to expand their knowledge of the business and their marketplace are the ones who will be ready to meet the challenges we'll face as we come out the other side of this downturn.
