When was the last time that you read the MREA?
April 29, 2009
Hmm… So yesterday I signed up for agent masterminds. The wonderful people with MAPS asked me what my GCI was over the last 12 months. Being as the I am a team leader, I do not sell. So I replied with “there are a lot of zeros in my production…”. Next thing I know I am in Gary Keller’s mastermind group!
So as I am sitting here with some of the most talented people in all of real estate, and is a great Q&A session. My greatest ah ha right now is that at almost every single question asked by the group, Gary is litteraly flipping open to a page of his book The Millionaire Real Estate Agent. It actually got to the point where Gary asked the group, when was the last time you read the MREA? Because I swear I wrote a book that answers all the questions you are asking.”
So this leads me to a question for you as much as me… When was the last time that you read the MREA? The answer should be very simple… NOW!
Do you mastermind?
April 28, 2009
What an amazing world that we live in! I am actually writing this blog post from my phone about 30,000 feet up somewhere between Phoenix and Austin. Pretty cool huh?
Anyway, I am flying down to Austin to join other Keller Williams real estate agents and leaders for the regular mastermind sessions. This is an amazing event where not only do I get to learn from some of KW’s top associates and leaders, but I get to catch up with them in a small setting.
One of the first things I realized in running a business is that you need to surround yourself with other like minded individuals. That said, one of the things that I do to make sure that I am getting the most value out of events like this is that I make appointments outside of the general sessions. I look for people that are succeeding in areas that I want to grow in and ask them to breakfast, lunch or dinner. Honestly this is where I get the greatest value out of most of my trips.
This week for example, I am having dinner on both nights with some of the top team leaders in the entire Keller Williams system. I am having lunch with Stefan Swanepol who is an industry leader in real estate trends. I also have a few more people on my target list to meet while I am here.
While I strongly feel the attending events like this are an incredible value, you don’t need to travel across the country to build a group of like minded people. Who do you admire for the results they have gotten in their business? Who do you admire for the balance that they have I’m their life? Why not call them and ask them to lunch or coffee?
After all, if you want to catch a cold, hang around someone that is sick! If you want to have success in life, why strike it out on your own when you can get a tremendous head start in 30 minutes and over a $4 cup of coffee?!
Dream Big, Aim High and Don’t judge a book by its cover!
April 17, 2009
I received this the other day from my friend Yvonne and I didn’t look at it until today… Now the whole world knows about it!
Susan Boyle, from Scotland, just a week ago was an unemployed charity worker living alone with her cat Pebbles and, as she informed TV viewers, had “never been kissed”. Now Simon Cowell says she will have a US No 1 album!
Wow, not is this a great example of going for your dreams in spite of all obstacles, but it is also to never judge a book by its cover!
How many of us were thinking the same thing the judges were when Susan walked onto the stage? If you weren’t I would imagine that you were merely a step ahead of the rest of us and knew this wouldn’t have been emailed around the world so quickly if it wasn’t going to pleasantly surprise us.
My last little “Aha” from this video… How flat is the world getting these days? As I understand it, this episode was aired on Saturday in the UK, and Susan’s clip lasted 7 minutes. By Monday, with the help of YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, etc., Susan Boyle was a worldwide sensation! These are all valuable tools to get our message across with ZERO expense! You may not become an international superstar like Susan, but you may just own your industry! What do you want to do today?
In case you haven’t seen it already… enjoy!
