Online Newsletter for the Week ending August 20

QUOTE: “You probably already have or know everything you need to be successful. So instead of looking for the ‘new-new’ you might want to work on the ‘old-old’ a little more. The opportunity for your success might be right under your very nose.” Gary Keller, The Millionaire Real Estate Agent (MREA), page 26. I think what Gary meant when he wrote those words in the MREA was that if you are reading page 26 it means you are reading the MREA and written upon the pages of the MREA are all the tools you will EVER need to be successful in YOUR lifetime. It only requires reading and implementing the contents of just 311 pages. It would take you less than 2 weeks reading just 23 pages a day. What price do you put on your success as a real estate agent? You can continue to do what you have always done and you will continue to get what you have always gotten. OR, you can spend 14 days reading 23 pages a day and learning what it takes to do this business right. Your call!

USE YOUR DIGITAL CAMERA TO MAKE A GREAT IMPRESSION: Check it out !!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkI08FGw3Hk My (Vikki Morvant of the Mandeville MC) seller at 829 Tete L'Ours in Beau Chene, $ 394,500 asked me if I could do a virtual tour that was more than just zooming in and out on still photographs. So I used the video feature of my camera. Used MS Movie Maker which came on my computer ( I think it is also a free download), and I snagged some nice generic sounding jazz music and uploaded it to YouTube. Important hint: If you want to use it as your MLS Unbranded Tour.... open up a YouTube account using a generic title, not your own name. If if is traceable back to an agent or a company, then the MLS will say that it cannot be displayed on all those IDX sites of all the metro Realtors. Hope you find this tip helpful !!

WHY KEEP ASPIRIN BY YOUR BEDSIDE

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.

Bayer is making crystal aspirin to dissolve under the tongue. They work much faster than the tablets. Just a reminder to all: purchase several bottles, keep one in your car, purse, nightstand, medicine chest, etc.

Afterwards:

CALL 911

- say "heart attack!"

- say that you have taken 2 aspirins..

- phone a neighbor or a family member who lives very close by

- take a seat on a chair or sofa near the front door, and wait for their arrival and...
