FROM THE WORLD OF STEVEN WRIGHT: My neighbor has a circular driveway. He can't get out.

WISDOM FROM MICHAEL DUNN, author of “What’s The BIG Secret?”  Here is the number one question I have gotten asked over the last 20 years.  “How do I know God’s plan for my life?”  Another way the question is asked is “How does God talk to me?”  Well, I have good news and bad news…. Which do you want first?  Good News – I can answer that.  Bad News – You might not like the answer.  God speaks to us all the time, but we are too busy running around living the American Life, and we don’t have time to stop and listen.  For the two ways to know the plan for your life - http://www.michaelpdunn.blogspot.com/

IT WAS A CHANCE MEETING; OR WAS IT?  Interesting thought provoking article by Jeffrey Gitomer.  Why do people remember who you are and what you do?  If it is not be design you are missing out on excellent business opportunities.  http://www.gitomer.com/articles/ViewPublicArticle.html?key=ajcdMibak3O9pUzgUVvbnA%3D%3D

THANK YOU FOR SAYING NO!  By Eddie Mayen.  Would you rather be motivated by fear or inspired by love? Would you rather prove right the people that love you or prove wrong the doubters? Would you rather hear, "I am proud of you because I knew you could do it" from someone who loves you? Or would you rather hear "You got lucky that time, bet you can't do it again" by someone who doubts you?  http://www.gitomer.com/articles/ViewSCArticle.html?key=ajcdMibak3N%2BCr1pkJdZ2Q%3D%3D

ON STANDING OUT!  PEOPLE WHO SPREAD IDEAS – WIN!  Video by Seth Godin on marketing your idea(s) or in the case of a real estate agent, themselves and why the consumer needs you as compared to someone else.   In a world of too many options and too little time, our obvious choice is to just ignore the ordinary stuff. Marketing guru Seth Godin spells out why, when it comes to getting our attention, bad or bizarre ideas are more successful than boring ones. http://www.ted.com/talks/seth_godin_on_sliced_bread.html
