QUOTE: "When they call the roll in the Senate, the Senators do not know whether to answer 'present' or 'not guilty.'" -- Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919) 26th US President
JOHN MAXWELL DEVELOPING THE LEADER WITHIN YOU:
Knowledge: Subject matter expert, educated via experience or study. (Gymbeaux note: spend just one hour a day reading or listening to topics related to what you want to be good at and in less than a year, you would be a “subject matter world expert!”)
THE TRUTH IS NO DEFENSE. Video; a great one! This may be one of the most unusual videos I have ever seen and it appears to be real life. Could anyone have said it any better; I doubt it.

THE POSITIVE SUCCESS FORMULA, by Jon Gordon. It is what it is. There has never been a better time to grow your business. http://www.jongordon.com/newsletter-091409-positivesuccessformula.html
EVER WONDER WHAT THE SPACE STATION LOOKED LIKE AND NOW LOOKS LIKE. This is something that you will want to show your children and grandchildren. I found it fascinating. http://i.usatoday.net/tech/graphics/iss_timeline/flash.htm
30 HOURS OF POST LICENSING EDUCATION. Newly licensed agents, you are required to complete 30 hours of post licensing education within 18 months of obtaining your real estate license. There is some confusion regarding the education. The 30 hours is a specific course of instruction and can only be given by State approved trainers. You can attend the class or you can order a correspondence course, cost is about $125.00. Taking this course does not relieve you of completing the 4 hours of required training on the 2009 Agreement to Purchase.
BEGIN EVERY DAY BY STARTING WITH A WIN! By Gary Ryan Blair, The Goals Guy! Short but inspiring video. I have signed up for the Free Report and have included it with the email that announced this newsletter link. I will also upload it to http://www.slidellcalendar.com/ in the Document Section under EBooks. I have read the 16 page report and it has a lot to offer. You may want to sign up for the 100 Day Challenge that begins on September 23, 2009 if you want to achieve your BIG GOAL in life.
MARKETING TIP. Until very recently, I had a refrigerator magnet from 10 years ago that I still used even though the REALTOR was no longer in the business. Why would I use this magnet? Because it had kitchen equivalents on it, how many ounces in a pint, how many quarts in a gallon, etc. The information NEVER went out of date. The magnet had “shelf life” unlike calendar magnets, sports calendars, etc. Mardi Gras parade schedules last about 6 months before they are obsolete. If you are going to use your hard earned money to buy give-away items, make sure the give-away items have value, have shelf life and are unique as compared to what everyone gives out like calendars. How many calendars do you receive each year? Which ones do you keep and why? If you keep them, can you tell me who gave it to you without looking at it? If you can, that is effective marketing, if not it was a waste of money for someone.
NEW WEB SITE: INSPIRED FAITH. http://www.inspiredfaith.com/index.asp
A brand new website called InspiredFaith.com launched on September 9, 2009. The business model, creating gift books and movies, will mirror Simple Truths; however, the content will target the Christian community. In fact, some of the first gift books are from best-selling Christian authors Max Lucado and Charles Swindoll. Therefore, if you are of the Christian faith or just enjoy faith based content and wish to get more information about the new Inspired Faith newsletter, and to watch the first Inspirational movie titled: The Second Mile, this is the place to link to.

DIVORCE THIS HOUSE BEFORE YOUR SPOUSE. If one spouse keeps the house the couple is not truly financially divorced. Check out the web site at www.DivorceThisHouse.com. This is an opportunity to develop a niche market of couple contemplating divorce which is almost at 50% in America. In other words, one out of every two married couples eventually get divorced. This program trains you as a REALTOR to become knowledgeable enough to provide guidance to these couples. 22,000,000 people are engaged in divorce talk/thinking EACH YEAR! Talk about thinking outside the box…
BROKER BIT: Question: How can you explain to buyers and sellers that they need you in order to have a professional represent their best interest and to negotiate on their behalf IF you do not present the Agreement to Purchase directly to sellers or buyers? Most agents drop contracts off and do not even get a face-to-face meeting with the cooperating agent. How can you negotiate on your customer’s best interests if you do not get face-to-face with the buyer and/or seller making the decision? For example, you may represent the buyer and submit a contract to purchase to the listing agent. In this example you are permitted to request that YOU present the contract to the Listing Agent’s seller. Why not? Who knows more about the buyer than you do? You can put a face to the buyer instead of just a piece of paper (with the buyer’s permission of course). You can explain how the buyer came up with the offered price. You can provide the Seller with comparables that support the buyer’s position. You can stay while the offer is being considered by the seller and the seller’s agent ONLY with their permission. The same in reverse is also true. If you represent the seller, you can request to present the seller’s counter offer to the buyer’s agent and buyer instead of “just dropping it off.” If you were a seller or a buyer or both, which scenario would you prefer, just dropping it off or actually presenting it? I’ll wait for your answer…….
BOOK RECOMMENDATION. GRACE by Richard Paul Evans. If you thought this was a book on religion, you would 90% wrong. If you spent your teen years in the late 50’s early 60’s, you will be able to relate to the 14 year old Eric becoming a man. If you were born after 1970, understanding and believing Eric could appear too naive and may be a stretch. As for Grace, a 16 year, given what we see on TV and in the news almost daily, her side of this inspirational novel is far more easily understood. This inspirational novel held my attention so much that I read it in one sitting. Tried to put it down 4 times and immediately went back to it until I finished it. It is emotional to say the least. It is a great story. It may even cause you to make a charitable donation as I did. If you want a compelling read with a great story that will inspire you to action, read GRACE!
