Years ago, I learned a POWERFUL lesson from Joe Stumpf. Joe was my first real estate coach many years ago, and he taught me SO much in the 3 years I participated in his “By Referral Only” approach to sales. Joe was the first coach to expose me to many strategies and habits for success . . . all of which I have heard consistently throughout my 28+ years of learning from MANY Real Estate EXPERTS. I soaked up all of that wisdom with wonderment . . . could it REALLY be this EASY? I’ve since discovered that virtually none of the things I heard/learned from Joe that I considered to be BRILLIANT were “original thought.” This was when I realized that all of the coaches were singing the same songs and packaging them differently. In fact, I saw ALL of these tactics for sales success in print from...

“Try hard not to create too much hope and fear,” for they only engender more mental gossip.” (The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying) “What stories are you creating in your mind as you tumble through your life experiences? When we construct this mental gossip, how attached to outcomes do we become? To what degree are we choosing to don blinders which deny us amazing possibilities? This work must begin within and work itself outward. Practice Practice Practice, and expect only to be surprised. Will you choose to spend 2021 just as you spent 2020? If so . . . Are you expecting different results?

When I was a kid (50 years ago) . . . our family vacationed on Cape Cod EVERY summer. We always stayed in East Brewster in Ellis Landing in the same Bay-front cottage (Channel View), and our cousins stayed in the (larger and fancier) Seabreeze next door. We loved every minute we had on those vacations . . . but the down-side was that we DROVE the 1200 miles there and back . . . PACKED into a station wagon – all 6 of us – Cartop carrier – Mom & Dad in the front, 3 of us kids in the back seat . . . and Amy or Liz in the “WAY Back.” We played games – 20 questions – counted state license plates – I spy and invariably hated each other until we saw the Cape Cod Bay in front of us as we topped the hill in Ellis Landing . . . and the 1200 mile trip home was veritable inhumane torture in our min...

Enjoy your Bonus WeekI’ve heard more than a few people mention that this December seems less frantic than most. It’s as if time is stretching. Throughout my life, I remember a sense of frantic urgency to do all of the shopping, prepare for travel and/or visiting relatives, planning things to do . . . Is this because we’re all tired after all we have endured through 2020? Many of us are in self-imposed quarantine – not mingling IRL (in real life) with other people – avoiding crowds – ordering gifts on-line instead of shopping and mailing. What are the blessings of these circumstances? Can we cease our incessant whining about 2020 even for a few moments to embrace the relative silence . . . the space that has opened for us to BREATHE and smell the roses? Don’t be scared! It’s OK to enjoy ...

Seth Godin does it again! Seth’s blog post today is Subconscious pre-filtering Seth says: “All of us get an endless supply of ideas, notions and inklings. Successful people, often without realizing it, ignore the ones that are less likely to ‘work’, and instead focus on the projects that are more likely to advance the mission.“ My commentary: “We can all learn to do this by simply knowing where we want to go and focusing on traveling the path of THAT azimuth. With this intensity, the ideas that won’t work are invisible to us“. Such a refreshing insight on this day

Who is the REAL you? Which one are you in this moment? I sent an important message to a person about an offer I would be presenting. Some hours passed with no response, so I followed up with a short message: “Did you receive my message about 123 Main St I sent earlier today?” Her answer: “Yes, I received it. But you sent to the wrong email.  Instruction are on the MLS. We will let everyone know tomorrow” 6 hours pass . . . and I receive this message” URGENT-123 Main St “NO OFFER IS ATTACHED TO YOUR EMAIL…“ I check my Sent email . . . and it clearly has the offer attached. This is when I put on my Investigator hat . . . I was beginning to wonder about myself. Am I losing my mental capacity? AHA! turns out she has 3 email addresses – The one in MLS, the one on all of her automatically pop...

The big day is 6 days from today! No . . . I’m not ready, but then I cannot think of ANY year that I have ever been “ready” 6 days prior, but somehow we pull it together and give Thanks with all the trimmings just like every other year. How much preparation is required to give thanks appropriately? Driving to the office this morning, I heard news of a flipped car on I-440 just about a half mile after my exit, so it didn’t affect me, and I silently blessed the occupant(s) in that car . . . that they would be unharmed. When I got to the the end of the off-ramp at Murphy Road, I glanced to my right and there sat a car fully engulfed in flames. The driver was out of the car on his cell phone and the firetruck arrived as I departed. I thought of all that we ALL have for which to be thankful....

There’s always some assembly required in all things and pursuits. Whatever it is, there’s a learning curve. After all, this is the first time you’ve ever needed to assemble and learn how to use this thing. Straight out of the box, this appears to be a simple operation, so you get right to work without even a glimpse at the instructions . . . or in the case of many electronic devices, no instructions included other than how to plug it in and turn it on. The rest is up to you and youtube videos. You dive in and do your best. Things seem to be going well, until they’re NOT at which point you seek HELP, or you think you’ve completed the assembly, but there are 3 pieces left over . . . Uh-Oh! Do you simply discard these parts and hope for the best, or do you worry enough about it that that y...
