It is a truly remarkable story made even more remarkable given that it is true. Check it out for yourself. Anything Andy Andrews does is great: http://tinyurl.com/26cqb8v

SOCIAL MEDIA TIP: On a lot of social media sites like twitter.com, you are only allowed so many characters. So how do you insert a long URL (domain name)? For example, one of the link above regarding free NAR Webinars had over 250 characters in the URL address. If you go to http://www.tinyurl.com/, you simply copy and paste your long web address in the appropriate box and click on MAKE TINYURL, and it provides you with a very short URL address that would fit nicely into a limited space.
JIM'S M&M GROUP: The meeting date is still on Mondays but the time has changed to 1:00 (that's PM, in the afternoon just in case you-know-who is reading this) by popular demand. The subjects each week are decided by those who attend. For new agents do not be afraid to attend for fear of not knowing what to ask. We can talk about anything and if you don't want to bring up a subject, I'll get the conversation started. It is fun, you never know for certain what you will learn when you attend.
