I have worked with people over the years that have been afraid to share their knowledge with others. they fear that the person they are helping will use it to pass them in the chain of command. The truth is, the person that shares on a regular basis is usually the one that continues to grow in their own education. They like to share, which in turn makes them more valuable. The more you share the light of you wisdom, the brighter you will become.

I work in a very "share friendly" office. My clients are not their clients so what is the harm.

I believe in sharing the knowledge. It was a discussion not too long ago and some agents didn't want to necessarily share what was working for them - they felt as though if they told someone they would start doing whatever it was and they wouldn't have the lock on it so to speak. I beg to differ. Even if we all have the same tools - we all use and present them differently and make them unique to ourselves. It's kind of like if it isn't broke don't fix it. That's one of the reasons I work for who I do - they did all the legwork, I don't want to reinvent the wheel; But I taylor it to my style and have found that no matter how many people out there use it - it is always still different. It also shows consistancy in the market and sellers know what to expect and what they are going to get. Goes back to that "branding."

Pay little to no attention to what seems to be harsh or unnecessary comments. I've used that quote many times and do believe; that "A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle" But in reality, I think that is where it ends. Often- when we teach or show others some of our "tricks" they do use it against us.

Rick, Welcome to Active Rain. I hope you enjoy it here.
I'm happy to share my knowledge, which at this time is limited (as far as AR goes); but don't hesitate to ask, if you need anything. :)
Anita's post sent me to you. :)
AR is a great place to learn, not to mention making all sorts of new friends.
Happy blogging.
