THE WORLD ACCORDING TO STEVEN WRIGHT: "Last week, I went to a furniture store to look for a decaffeinated coffee table. They couldn't help me."
MORE WISDOM FROM MICHAEL DUNN, author of What’s The BIG Secret? “Your soul is like a muscle. The more you work it by following your goals and feed it by reading, listening to tapes, and going to seminars, the more you can handle and the more you can do.” http://michaelpdunn.org/Success.html

SOCIAL MEDIA: If you are going to take Social Media seriously, you need to set aside 15 to 20 minutes a day (Time Block) a time when you will work on your Social Media to include but not limited to your Facebook FAN Page; Twitter; Linkedin; Plaxo and any other web site where you can promote yourself and your business. FIRST you need to have training. The problem with Social Media training is that it can be overwhelming when you try to learn everything at once. Jeffrey Gitomer has written a great book that leads you from step 1 to step whatever on many of the most important Social Media sights. “Social Boom!”by Jeffrey Gitomer. The subtitle reads: How to Master Business Social Media to Brand Yourself, Sell Yourself, Sell Your Product, Dominate Your Industry Market, Save Your Butt, Rake in the Cash and Grind Your Competition into the Dirt. I particularly like the Save Your Butt part. You can purchase the book at www.JeffreyGitomer.com.
IT’S BETTER TO BE A 3-LEGGED COYOTE THAN A 4-LEGGED FUR COAT, by Joe Tye. The title kind of says it all don’t you think? Hope you read this short article by one of the best: http://tinyurl.com/7ejak5h
JUMP IN: Agents new to the Real Estate Industry tend to “wait” for the next step before they get started. The problem with that plan is that oftentimes one opportunity after another goes by the wayside while they are waiting for the next step. Keller Williams Realty has been recognized over the years as having one of the best if not THE best training programs in the industry but taking all of the training that is available would mean that the plan would be READY – AIM – AIM – AIM – AIM and you would never get to the FIRE step.
What should an agent consider the “first step” to having a successful real estate career? After 32+ years I can say without reservation it would be to realize that no one is going to do it for you, YOU MUST MAKE THE MOVE TO BE LEARNING BASED; it is a conscious decision – I AM LEARNING BASED WITH NO EXCEPTIONS! I MUST CREATE MY OWN PLAN TO LEARN THE BUSINESS AND CONTINUE TO LEARN THE BUSINESS AND ONCE THAT HAPPENES TO TURN IT AROUND AND TEACH SOMEONE ELSE TO LEARN THE BUSINESS. Gary Keller, Dave Jenks and Jay Papasan laid out the plan in The Millionaire Real Estate Agent (MREA). Why reinvent the wheel, make the MREA a life-time study. The fastest way to MASTERY in any subject matter is to TEACH IT!
GRATITUDE – GOOD ADVICE
"The trouble with the world is not that people know too little,
but that they know so many things that aren't true."
Mark Twain
There's one thing wrong with the conventional wisdom. It's usually a lot of conventional, and not very much wisdom.
One piece of the conventional wisdom is that to be successful you have to know what you're doing.
Now that may be at least partly true if you're just improving on something that's already been done.
But what if you're doing something brand new? That's what keeps people stuck - they feel like they have to know how, even if no one has ever done it.
It's a good thing some people didn't let that stop them, or we'd still be living in caves!
Thomas Edison tested over 1,000 kinds of material for light bulb filaments. When asked about his 1,000 failures, he said, "I didn't fail at all. I eliminated 1,000 possibilities."

For the step-by-step keys to your power, get this inexpensive program. It's the ONLY program like this that actually includes personal help from the author (that's me) if you need it. Get the info here: http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=Kx6ZW&m=Io2yuLwtusR9M1&b=KpDoUfLRJdqhZrNhewyZeg

Do you see how important Edison's reframing of his results was? He saw it as being 1,000 steps closer to victory. And he was.
If someone tells you, "It will never work," ask them why not. And if they say, "Because no one's ever done it," then you say, "Good, I can be first!"
Now someone who says, "Have you thought of this (issue, thing, or condition)?" is being helpful. Sometimes you miss things. That doesn't mean it kills your idea, it just gives you something to put in the plan. That's good.
Just beware of people who say that they know something won't work. It probably wouldn't work - for them. But you're different.
All the best, Wes
