LATEST NUGGET FOR THE NOGGIN: As Paul Harvey said, “And now the rest of the
story.” I posted two Nuggets
recently. The first was about the Star
Spangled Banner and the flat that forever flew over the fort when Francis Scott
Key wrote what eventually became the National Anthem. The flag flew for reasons that even today
people have never heard. If you read it,
you will probably pass it on; it is that impressive. The second Nugget is kind of personal in
nature. 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
SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1945; HISTORY.
It is unfortunate that a great many Americans have very little knowledge
of what transpired during and after World War II and how many Americans and its
allies gave all and then some. This
video shows the signing of the surrender aboard the battleship Missouri. Should be watched by everyone. http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=vcnH_kF1zXc&feature=player_embedded
IMPORTANT eEDGE INFORMATION: New
checklists. When you open a loop you
have the ability to open the same CheckList that I used to verify
compliance. Each checklist will include
a lot more forms that you will probably use but they do contain forms you “may”
use. Some of the forms are marked with
an Asterisk (*); these forms are REQUIRED
for the specific type of transaction you are creating or continuing. Your transaction will NOT be 100% completed until all the forms marked with an Asterisk
(*) have either been uploaded OR you leave a note indicating why that
particular form is not required in this instance.
When you open a
loop, and you also select the checklist, the checklists will remain open
throughout the process no matter how many times you or I review the
folder. You can therefore see exactly
what has been accepted and what as yet needs work. When I feel comfortable in doing so I will
change the status to Sent to the MCA.
Once the MCA completes the MCA work, the status will be changed again,
hopefully to compliance complete. BUT,
if more work is still to be done, example, Buyer/Seller Responses, the MCA will
Return the File to the Agent for completion.
When you finish the paperwork you will once again change the status to Submit
for Compliance. Keep watching because
more checklists are being developed to cover each type of transaction and
separate checklists for Louisiana and Mississippi.
IMPORTANT
NOTE: Some agents, certainly not you, are uploading
blank forms to eEdge. I think it is
because they want to type out the forms but when you upload them I must review
them and that is very time consuming. BEFORE you send off a transaction for
Compliance Review, please insure TWO
THINGS: (1) there are no blank forms
included in the upload; and (2) the forms have been uploaded in the correct
position meaning not upsidedown or sideways because when they are, it
complicates the review process and just adds time to review the documents. This is compounded when some our right side
up, some are sideways and some are upsidedown all in the same upload. You can imagine…….
YOUR ST˜R POWER, SCRIPTS FOR YOUR SUCCESS FROM HOWARD

Prospecting; Asking for Referrals:
“Your friends are searching for the best service in real estate. I hope you’ll help them find it by
recommending me. Would you do two
things? Tell your friends about me. And when one of your friends needs real
estate service, pick up the phone and tell me about them. Would do that for me?
WISDOM FROM MICHAEL DUNN, author of What’s
The BIG Secret: From page 45: What’s My Purpose? Let’s
talk about unattainable goals. Every
corporation (except for Keller Williams of course), company, business, club,
school, church, or organization teaches us to set attainable goals because, of
course, if our goals were unattainable, we would fail. This is true if you are trying to fulfill
other people’s goals. (Corporations
might want to rethink this one – I think Bill Gates already has.) Everyone has a desire, a thought, or an idea
of something that they want to do, but our relatives, friends, schools,
television, and the experts have taught us that we can’t do it. The excuses include, but are not limited
to: not enough money, not enough time,
not smart enough, afraid, no one has done it before, too late, I’m too old, I’m
too young and on and on. (How about can’t
afford to go to BOLD; when in
reality you cannot afford NOT TO.) Even when we start to think about it, our own
minds start to close it out because the thought of maybe being able to have
dreams would be too painful if we failed.
Probably the biggest secret and the reason 3% of the people have the wealth
and power is they were willing to tap into this area, write it down despite the
fears, and supernaturally fulfill their purpose which will always seem
unattainable and always, always, always, affect other people. http://michaelpdunn.org/Success.html

BOOK RECOMMENDATION: Sun Tzu, The
Art of War for Managers; 50 Strategic Rules. By Gerald
A. Michaelson and Steven Michaelson. The problem with title and real estate agents
is that most agents, certainly not you, do not consider themselves as managers
but that is exactly what you are – managers of your own business. Every real estate agent is an independent
contractor but also the President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial
Officer, Vice President in charge of Marketing and Advertising, Chief Accounting
Officer, etc, etc. etc. If you think of
yourself as managing your business, this book should be considered a MUST
READ! Every book has some meat within
its pages, this book has RED MEAT on every page. Page after page of items to improve your
business based on the military strategies of Sun Tzu written some 2300 years
ago. The lead quote on this newsletter
was taken from the book.

THIS WEEK’S HUMOR; WAY TO CLOSE TO THE TRUTH.
http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/ItXKGyO6cRA?rel=0
TODAY I WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE, included in a weekly Ezine by Dr. Tom Hill, Eagle Institute and personal friend and mentor. MAKE
THIS YOUR DAILY PLAN!
This is a terrific message - read
this every morning for 30 days - do it when you first wake up - it will make a
difference - Tom)
Today I will make a difference. I
will begin by controlling my thoughts. A person is the product of his thoughts.
I want to be happy and hopeful. Therefore, I will have thoughts that are happy
and hopeful. I refuse to be victimized by my circumstances. I will not let
petty inconveniences such as stoplights, long lines, and traffic jams be my
masters. I will avoid negativism and gossip. Optimism will be my companion, and
victory will be my hallmark. Today I will make a difference.
I will be grateful for the
twenty-four hours that are before me. Time is a precious commodity. I refuse to
allow what little time I have to be contaminated by self-pity, anxiety, or
boredom. I will face this day with the joy of a child and the courage of a
giant. I will drink each minute as though it is my last. When tomorrow comes,
today will be gone forever. While it is here, I will use it for loving and giving.
Today I will make a difference.
I will not let past failures
haunt me. Even though my life is scarred with mistakes, I refuse to rummage
through my trash heap of failures. I will admit them. I will correct them. I
will press on. Victoriously. No failure is fatal. It's OK to stumble... . I
will get up. It's OK to fail... . I will rise again. Today I will make a
difference.
I will spend time with those I
love. My spouse, my children, my family. A man can own the world but be poor
for the lack of love. A man can own nothing and yet be wealthy in
relationships. Today I will spend at least five minutes with the significant
people in my world. Five quality minutes of talking or hugging or thanking or
listening. Five undiluted minutes with my mate, children, and friends.
Today I will make a difference!

BORDER CONTROL: From John Barada:
Uhhhh, folks, you MUST watch
this. One world order? Maybe on the comedy channel.
This is tooooooo much. Although, they probably are watching MSNBC
and CNN thinking the same thing. Daily
border closing. Perhaps this is how we should close our Southern Border. There
is a fence, so all we need is a gate.
This is both fascinating and
hysterical. This Is how the border between
India and Pakistan is closed every evening!!
This is not a Monty Python comedy
skit, but it does resemble one.
Keep in mind that each of these
countries have nuclear weapons...
