FROM MICHAEL DUNN: When the picture or self image you hold of yourself lines up with the picture or image God holds of you, the core of your soul will fill with a substance that makes you feel like you can do anything.... http://michaelpdunn.org/inder.html
SOCIAL MEDIA COURSE (BETA CLASS) If you-know-who is reading this, Beta Class means it is the first one ever taught. This is your chance to be a Guinea Pig. Today, Tuesday December 20th at 10:00 am in the training room. If you want to learn how to use Social Media to enhance your web presence, mostly for free, come to the class.
REQUIRED QUADRENNIAL ETHICS TRAINING: On January 1, 2012, we start the LAST YEAR in which you can take the REQUIRED 4 Hours of Continuing Education Credit as mandated by the National Association of REALTORS (NAR). NAR requires 4 hours to be taken once every four years and December 31, 2012 is the last day on which this can be done. The course is offered locally on occasion. You can take the course ONLINE at www.REALTOR.org. It is a free course and a good course; taken it twice over the past 8 years. This is just a reminder you are on your last 12 months in which you can take it. Do not put this off; get it out of the way now. If you are new to the business over the past 3 years and attended Board Training, check your certificates of completion, you may have already received credits for taking the course.
RICK GEHA will be hosting a Business Clinic, watch this video and then sign up. http://www.youtube.com/watch?
THE KEY TO HAPPINESS AND SUCCESS, by Jon Gordan. http://www.jongordon.com/
BROKER BIT: If you want 2012 to be better than 2011, you are about to learn “The Secret” and it is right there in front of you – the Holidays! Most people in sales use the Christmas holidays to make more money in a short period of time than they do all year long. Real Estate Sales seems to be just the opposite. Most real estate salespeople get in the holiday mode at Thanksgiving and do not re-emerge until at the earliest after New Year’s Day. Now the football season is extended at least until the second week in January. But wait, Mardi Gras is only a few weeks away and you have to get ready for Mardi Gras. Therefore, in Southeast Louisiana and Southern Mississippi real estate salespeople take at least two months off without going on vacation. They simply stop doing what they know they must do to keep the prospect pipeline full of probable buyers and sellers. So the agents, few as they are, who stay focused on the basics and work their database (met and unmet), FSBOs and Expireds will be the agents who lead the pack in 2012. That would of course be you; right?
GREAT WAY TO SAVE FOR YOUR KNOWN ANNUAL REAL ESTATE EXPENSES. Seems like every year License Renewals Fees; E&O Insurance renewal fee, Board Dues, MLS Dues sneak up on us and come as a surprise even though we know they are coming, they come every year. Here is a very simple way to prepare for these costs. NEVER, EVER, SPEND A ONE-DOLLAR BILL, EVER AGAIN. If an item costs 50 cents, pay for it with a $5.00 bill or higher. At the end of the day, start a stack of $1.00 bills and you will be absolutely amazed at not only how much you will save but also how quickly the amount saved starts to add up. Over a 12 month period you should have enough $1.00 bills to pay all your real estate expenses for 2012; all of them. Even if you don’t have enough, the amount left will be insignificant and not a problem. Try it; you’ll like it.
SOCIAL MEDIA CLASS IS GOING GREAT! Wish you were here.
