Since this is my first post on active|rain, I thought I would share a little about how I look at the world.
It's really not that complicated and everyone can do it but sometimes we lose sight of the simplicity of what it does. What am I talking about you may ask? A smile. Whether you are in sales, a school teacher, a stay at home mom or a bus driver, the power of a smile is undeniable.
I bring this up because last week I attended RE Bar Camp & Real Estate Connect in San Francisco and I saw a common theme resonating with everyone from this circle of the real estate world (active|rain, Twitter, facebook, LinkedIn, Flickr, etc.)....they smile. Now some of the smiles were bigger than others but everyone had one sitting right there below their nose.
Why does a smile resonate with this group in particular? Well I've come to the conclusion that people who can write/photograph/talk about their lives, aspirations and ideas are generally happier people and hence smile a lot more. What I love about this is it's contagious. I call it multiplying grins.
So think about this when you are in that next listing presentation or door knocking your farm. Sometimes a smile might get you everything you really want or just make a friend that you really need.
