One thing you will soon discover about me, if you haven't already, is that I love listening to and reading other coach's and top agent's books about what success in real estate takes.  I was browsing Amazon yesterday when I came across a title that sounded interesting and, as always, I then began...

A few days ago I was looking through an information packet I use when agents transition to join my company.  In it is written our Mission, Vision, Values, Beliefs and Perspectives statement.  The one that jumped out at me today was our Value system of God-Family-Business.  Too often we are critic...

So here it is, another Friday in what seems to be weeks moving along faster and faster the older I get.  When I was living in Miami Beach acting as the broker for Keller Williams Miami Beach, one associate there gave me a piece of advice on how to handle my recent move to Paradise.  She said, "be...

Isn't that the question we'd all love the answer to?  Over the years I have been to countless half day seminars sponsored by some local vendor that promises the attendees a whole new business and a whole new life simply by coming to hear a national speaker tout his wares.  I have yet to walk away...
