NO PARTNERS MEETING ON JULY 4TH; WONDER WHY?
HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY ALL!
QUOTE #1: ”Make
your mind your friend instead of your biggest problem!” Wes
Hopper (Gymbeaux Note; Goes well with the photo wouldn’t you say?”
QUOTE #2: So timely, had to include it: "The
most successful people are those who are good at Plan B." James
York, Chaos Theory Expert
QUOTE #3: So many great quotes passed my desk this
week, here is another: "People
are always neglecting something they can do in trying to do something they
can't do." Now read it
again but this time with some words added in red: “People are always neglecting something they
can do like attend BOLD and apply him or herself,
in trying to do something they can’t do like generate
leads when they are not sure what to do next”. Edgar Watson Howe (American novelist,
1853-1937) Gymbeaux Note: I think Mr. Howe read The Millionaire Real
Estate Agent J
IS THIS FOR REAL? IF SO,
YOU WILL NOT BELIEVE IT! AMAZING VIDEO
OF WHAT TOMORROW MAY BRING TODAY! http://www.flixxy.com/volkswagen-levitating-car.htm
HEALTH CARE AND THE EMBEDDED REAL ESTATE TAX:
There is and will continue to be a lot of confusion regarding if there
is a real estate tax included in the Obama Health Care Plan or not. Here is a link. Even after you read it you will still be
confused. Homeowners of more expensive
homes will need to consult a tax specialist to see exactly how selling their
home after this bill takes effect in 2014 will apply to them. In the mean while, you should make certain
you attend any future courses given on the subject. A lot of folks say it won’t affect that many
people. If it affects just ONE person it
is too many. Remember, Louisina just
passed state law forbidding just this type of action. Imagine that.

LATEST NUGGET FOR THE NOGGIN: I Earned The Coast Guard Medal by Jim
“Gymbeaux” Brown. Some folks are not
going to like this – tuff. I earned the
right to say it as have millions of other veterans. www.NuggetsForTheNoggin.com
If you can’t tell after reading it, I am a bit upset. There is no accountability for Supreme Court
Justices; NONE! In fact there is NOTHING
SUPREME about any one of them especially when you consider they almost always
vote on party lines. How can that be
fair and unbiased? Just asking.
KELLER WILLIAMS MEGA
CAMP:
September 18-21 in Austin Texas.
The BIG news is that John
Maxwell will be the featured speaker.
If you have never heard Maxwell speak, you are missing something very
special. Mega Camp is a fabulous 4 day
experience where you can both learn things you can immediately use to grow your
business and create life-long relationships with other like-minded Keller
Williams agents throughout the country.
It is hard for me to imagine attending and not learning something that
would bring you a sale you otherwise would not have made thus repaying you for
your INVESTMENT (as compared to COST) to attend. If you want to really grow your profit tree,
invite someone other than Keller Williams agent to go with you and pay their
way. It will come back to you more than
you can imagine! To register and I
sincerely hope everyone of you do, go to http://www.kw.com/eventReg/secure/user/GetEvent.do?eventId=3135
IMPORTANT eEDGE INFORMATION: I believe we
have a handle on making the compliance review process better for everyone. You will soon see a change in the available CHECKLISTS. There will be a checklist for every type of
transaction. Before some of the forms
listed will be an ASTERISK (*) which will mean that the form(s) is considered
as REQUIRED for this particular type of transaction. If for some reason the form(s) is NOT
required, you need only provide an explanation in the notes section to let me
know not to look for the form. Example,
Sellers Property Disclosure is NOT required on HUD, REO, Estate, etc transactions. Simply insert the reason it is NOT included.
FIREWORKS AND FINISHING WITH A BANG!
By Jon Gordon. Boy did he hit the nail on the head with this
one! In 32 years I have seen this over
and over again. Agents go in and WOW the
owners with a fantastic listing presentation only to be nowhere to be found 2
weeks later. Some agents are great
presenters but are not good on following up with customers or keeping them in
the loop. If that describes you, maybe
it is time for an assistant to do the “grunt” work for you to keep how good you
are in front of the customer FOREVER,
AND FOREVER MEANS JUST THAT FOREVER! http://www.jongordon.com/positive-tip-fireworks.html
YOUR ST˜R POWER, SCRIPTS FOR YOUR SUCCESS FROM HOWARD
BRINTON: www.StarPower.com. Prospecting; Asking for Referrals: “Who do you know (within your group) at
this time that may be thinking of buying or selling real estate?” GYMBEUAX NOTE: If you ask the question
in general, who do you know (of all the hundreds of names you may know, you
cannot expect someone to be able to mentally scan the hundreds of names in
their mental memory bank in just 2 or 3 seconds to find the one or two who may
need your service and you get a “no, no one” response. BUT,
when you ask, who do you know in your PTA, your Garden Club, your Golf Group,
etc, using only one of the example groups, not all, it is much easier for
someone to think of 8, 20, or 35 members than hundreds and hundreds of people
they may know and hopefully you get a name or two. Which would you prefer?)
WISDOM FROM MICHAEL DUNN, author of “What’s The BIG Secret: Page 118:
“Many people, including myself,
get frustrated with God’s time frame.
This is one of my biggest struggles because I want it all now. From my perspective I could have sworn that
the world evolved around me. I tell you
I have a hard time getting this one.
When things are going wrong or not happening fast enough, it just throws
my little planet into haywire. I have
learned that God has a plan, and I am the man.
His plan, His time, His will, and his plant; I’m just the man. But I am amazed at how His plan in His time,
in His will, and on His planet (and on his terms, Gymbeaux added) always,
always, always seems to work out for my good.”

PERSONAL NOTE: THE
VILIAGES OF FLORIDA.
As some
of you know, I think The Villages may be the most unique place in
America. It represents a life-style, not
just a place to live. There exists two
town centers and there is a third under construction. This link takes you to a video showing you
the third town center under construction.
It provides you a real feel for why this place is so unique. It would be worth your time to visit The
Villages, America’s Hometown. http://www.thevillages.com/newsletter/201207/
AMAZING GRACE VIDEO/MUSIC.
One of my
favorite versions of Amazing Grace. A view of the Scottish country taken from across Scotland.
Accompanied by the music Amazing Grace performed by The Royal Scots Dragoon Guards
from the Spirit Of The Glen Album. Available @ iTunes I hope you enjoy viewing. It will (should) move you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M8AeV8Jbx6M and if you like that
one, you’ll love this one! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=frEIIYl4z98 I have been to Scotland
and it is as beautiful as these photos suggest.
GRATITUDE – HIGH VALUE TASKS
By Wes Hopper (My Mentor, Online
Friend & Hero)
"Focus on the stuff that
generates the income,
the proactive stuff, first thing in the day.
Leave the admin stuff to
others."
Yanik Silver
One of the problems with having
your own business, especially if you're just starting, is that there's only one
employee. The successful approach is to
hire out as much of the stuff that is not revenue producing or creative as you
can. Work on high value tasks.
I know, that's a good theory but
in practice it can be hard to do. So the
next best thing is to work on the high value tasks FIRST, and work on them when
you're fresh.
Work on product creation and
marketing. Work at learning new skills. Get ideas whirling around in your brain and combining in
new ways.
Study the works of experts and
get new ideas. Plan your future. Save
the routine admin tasks for later when your brain needs a rest.
Now, most people are better in
the morning but not all. I know some of you are night owls. If you get creative when the sun goes down,
work your schedule around that.
Having a job doesn't stop you
from using this process to plan your escape.
Bob Proctor got up 1/2 hour
earlier each morning and wrote. In a year he had a book - "You Were Born
Rich." What will you have a year from now?
All the best, Wes

THE LIFE YOU SAVE MAY BE YOUR OWN – PASS THIS ON, PLEASE.
Subject: Mayo Clinic on Aspirin - PASS IT ON
Mayo Clinic Aspirin
Dr.
Virend Somers, is a Cardiologist from the Mayo Clinic, who is lead author of
the report in the July 29, 2008 issue of the Journal of the American College of
Cardiology. Most heart attacks occur in
the day, generally between 6 A.M. and noon. Having one during the night, when
the heart should be most at rest, means that something unusual happened. Somers
and his colleagues have been working for a decade to show that sleep apnea is
to blame.
1. If you take an aspirin or a
baby aspirin once a day, take it at night.
The reason: Aspirin has a 24-hour "half-life"; therefore, if
most heart attacks happen in the s of the morning, the therefore, if most heart
attacks happen in the wee (that is early morning hours for you-know-who) hours
of the morning, the Aspirin would be strongest in your system. Aspirin would be strongest in your
system.
2. FYI,
Aspirin lasts a really long time in your medicine chest for years, (when it
gets old, it smells like vinegar).
Something
that we can do to help ourselves - nice to know - Bayer is making crystal
aspirin to dissolve instantly on the tongue.
They work much faster than the tablets.
Why keep Aspirin by your bedside?
It's about Heart Attacks - There are other symptoms of a heart attack, besides
the pain on the left arm. One must also be aware of an intense pain on the
chin, as well as nausea and lots of sweating; however, these symptoms may also
occur less frequently.
Note:
There may be NO pain in the chest during a heart attack. The majority of people (about 60%) who had a
heart attack during their sleep did not wake up. However, if it occurs, the chest pain may
wake you up from your deep sleep. If
that happens, immediately dissolve two aspirins in your mouth and swallow them
with a bit of water.
Afterwards:
·
Call
911.
·
Phone
a neighbor or a family member who lives very close by.
·
Say
"heart attack!"
·
Say
that you have taken 2 Aspirins.
·
Take
a seat on a chair or sofa near the front door, and wait for their arrival
and
DO
NOT LIE DOWN!
A
Cardiologist has stated that if each person after receiving this e-mail, sends
it to 10 people, probably one life could be saved!
I have
already shared this information. What about you?Do forward this message. It may save lives!
Gymbeaux Note:
From personal experience, I had no warnings that I was having a “heart
incident”. It occurred at about 2:00
pm. I went upstairs and when I got to
the top of the stairs I could not catch my breath. That feeling did not go away and I asked
myself the question: “Should I go to the
emergency room?” The question was
answered – of course you should if you thought of it. I did and had a 5-By-Pass procedure within 24
hours. If you have to ask the question,
the answer should be obvious!
ONE MORE LIFE
SAVING TIP: Go to your cell phone, IMMEDIATELY, NOT TOMORROW, enter a new contact and label it ICE (PLUS THE NAME OF THE PERSON YOU WANT
TO CONTACT) Example, I entered ICE Diane Brown (my wife) and her cell phone number. You can also enter ICE1, ICE2, etc with
different names and phone numbers. If
something should happen to you, First Responders are trained to look into the
person’s cell phone contacts and look first for ICE – In Case of Emergency. Trust me on this one – just do it and do it
sooner rather than later! That’s an
order J
