Yes, that is right I have decided in order to become a better agent I must become the driver of my own bus. Thank you Jon Gordon for opening my eyes! Yesterday I attended a Women's Council of Realtors meeting here at NAR in Orlando and the guest speaker was auther Jon Gordon. Jon wrote the book The Energy Bus which tells the story of how a ride on a bus positively impacted and changed his life. I have not actually read the book yet, but I know many who have and I have seen the positive change it has made in them. After hearing Jon yesterday you can bet I am going to read it now!
Here are some of the points he made that really hit home with me.
1 You are the driver of your own bus. It is up to you to have the vision and to decide where you are going. What road are you taking the positive one or the negative one?
2. Feed the positive dog. Surround yourself with positive energy. What is your story? Drama? Comedy? Action? What is your role? Leader, hero, underdog, or a victim? Adopt the "No Complaining Rule". Take a daily "Thank you" walk every day and remind yourself that you are "too blessed to be stressed".
3. Who are your passengers? Invite family, friends, customers, or co-workers. Make sure they are on board with positive energy. As Jon says, " No Energy Vampires Allowed".
4. Love your passengers. Love God, yourself, and everyone else. Treat everyone like family.
5. Drive with a purpose. Strive to be the best you can be every day and then make daily improvements. Use your strengths for a bigger purpose than yourself and leave a trail for others to follow.
Wow! I feel better just writing this today! Go out a make it a positive day!
