You can’t just be on Facebook and think it will happen, if you think “I know social media” because you have a Facebook account then you aren’t giving your business the attention and development it deserves. You can’t just send out mailers and expect to build your business.
I am thankful every day, but today on Thanksgiving I wanted to put it in writing, to share it. So many people have impacted my life, far too many to list, so please know, I cherish everyone, old friends, new friends, those who are no longer a part of my life but will always be my friends.
I wish people would stop just telling agents what they need to use and tell them the “why” and “how” so they can have a good solid foundation for when they do use the tools.
We only have a few things in life, our name, our reputation and our credibility. I cherish those things and I try to teach that to my children. If you can not admit your own faults, weaknesses or errors then you cannot grow in any aspect of life. It is like people often say, you must release something to get past it, but to release often requires an uncomfortable confrontation. That is all about assumption really, in assuming someone will be defensive you avoid a confrontation and allow the problem to go unresolved.
Many of the events, especially the national and regional REALTOR meetings and expos offer educational opportunities that might not be readily available at your local level. These events often attract the “big names” that may not make it to your local events.
