FROM THE WORLD OF STEVEN WRIGHT: I went to a general store, but they wouldn't let me buy anything specific.
WISDOM FROM MICHAEL DUNN, author of “What’s The BIG Secret?” There are three types of people in this world, most people are type 1, they spend all their time talking about other people. The next level is type 2, they spend their time talking about things. Then there is level 3, they spend their time talking about their dreams. We call this (last) group the *3% Club* because only 3% *choose *to be in this group. It is important, if you decide to use this process, to find other 3%'s to associate with, or your dreams and desires can easily die on the skillet of vain conversation. (Gymbeaux Note: Love that phrase.) Your ten closest friends or associates will have a tremendous impact on your life. Information from studies backed by results we get from the seminar show that if you add up the income of your ten closest associates and divide it by 10, you will find your income....If most of your friends are gossips, then you are probably one also. If most of your friends are happy, then you are probably happy also.
Gymbeaux Note: Using this principle consider this: There are 80 people in our Market Center. The 3% Club Theory would calculate to less than 3 agents being dreamers, 3 agents being happy, 3 agents knowing where they want life to take them. Only 3. Sure am glad you are one of the 3.
EDUCATIONAL AUDIT: Several of our teammates have been notified by the Louisiana RE Commission that their education records are being audited. You need to be able to prove (copies of training certificates) that you have completed the required number of hours and that those hours include the required 4 hours of CE training. Everyone is encouraged to gather their certificates to double check compliance and have them ready if asked for. Suggestion: Scan all of the training certificates and then save them as a file on your computer thus making it really easy to locate in the future. NABOR Continuing Education Classes have been posted to the Market Center Training Calendar for your convenience.

ERASING NEGATIVE SELF-TALK WITH THE JANITOR IN YOUR ATTIC: Absolutely great article by Joe Tye. We all do it; we talk to ourself or at least listen to some voice in our ear usually telling us how stupid we are because of something we just did. You owe it to yourself to read this article (that was me not a voice in your head telling you that). Joe Tye produced a CD you listen to at night as you go to bed and again in the morning when you awake on this subject. I have contacted him to see if the CD is still available. Will let you know. http://tinyurl.com/7vjltla
BILL OF RESPONSIBILITIES; from the genius of Joe Tye comes the obvious in one location. How’s that for a tease. Everyone should read this and forward it to friends and maybe even your elected officials. http://tinyurl.com/836h7t4
PEOPLE FIRE ORGANIZATIONS: The theme of the Outstanding! book is this: People fire organizations—but they do not fire the outstanding ones. The organizations that stand behind their stuff (Ch. 26), show humility (Ch. 2), never forget who pays the bills (Ch. 24), put people before policies (Ch. 20), and keep the mission "top of mind" (Ch. 3)—are clearly exceptional, premier, striking, and superior. Said another way, they are OUTSTANDING! Check it out at www.outstandingorganizations.com Outstanding! 47 Ways To Make Your Organization Outstanding by John G. Miller
