Diligence Creates Opportunity

Lou Ludwig, Going above and beyond the expected is a sign of diligence.

Lou,

 I showed a home to a young couple they said sure if you are not busy I told them it is hard to sel a home if you do not show it they got it then!

Lou your interpretation is awesome I could not make up my mind which one I liked better the actual quote or your interpretation:

Being diligence in your efforts . . . . leaves your positive footprints in the sands of time.

Having a reputation as being a diligent professional . . . . will help you in creating . . . . and maintaining a sphere of influence . . . . It will also allow you to develop a growing list of raving fans.

So perfect, you just can't say it any better than that. Thanks for the post Lou.

This one gives me such hope, that being diligent is rewarding. People will send their friends to you when they are happy. I love it!

exceeding expectation is my goal....

Nice posting

Well said Lou. With diligence comes stamina and staying power. You have to hang in there unitl the end.

Hi Lou Ludwig ,  You chose a great subject to blog on..  If we are not dilligent, we will not be recognized as the best person for the job.

You've shared another great quote. Thanks for all your inspiration, Lou. 

Aloha Lou,

Diligence is the measure of your belief in yourself, it can be the difference between failure and being willing to fail over and over until you succeed. Mahalo for sharing Cervantes, he always feels like an old friend when I read his words.

a hui hou,

Great motivation for today and for the coming week. Thanks, Lou.

Lou Ludwig  makes sense. The word spreads like a wild fire - if one is diligent and that leads to another lead/transaction.

Another inspiring post that touches my heart.  Thank you, Lou.  I so appreciate reading your posts.  As I read this one, in particular, I can't help but think about my clients and what needs to be done for this week so that I may help them reach their goals.  Thanks, again :

Lou, Understanding two creatures of God helps us find success.  The first is the ANT.  While his detractors are caught up in laughter and ridicule, the ANT keeps busy moving things much larger than the ANT, mostly one piece at a time.  The ANT pays no attention to critical onlookers: only the task at hand.

The other creature God has provided to teach us about success is the HEN.  You see her doing nothing (so it may appear), but sitting.  Many misapply this trait, and become slothful; but the HEN HAS A PURPOSE: keeping her eggs warm until they are ready to hatch.  Quietly, she sits.  She is not running around clucking, but she is sitting & patiently waiting.  When the time is right, she will get busy clucking

Our delima is knowing when to sit quietly, and when to cluck.  The HEN knows the time to cluck is after the task is accomplished.  

Meanwhile, the ANT sees nothing to cluck about, because his job is DOING, and neither sitting nor clucking.  Success requires us knowing what to do, when to do it, when to keep doing it, when to sit and wait, and finally knowing when to cluck.

Timely post today as I am having a morning with diligence, but I'm waiting for opportunity to improve when that window opens.
