The Truth Matters Clarence Darrow once said, “Chase after the truth like all hell and you’ll free yourself, even though you never touch its coattails.” Here are the links promised BBC Tortise Media Fine People Transcript Extreme Listening Post about Charlottesville How do you kill 11 Million People? post and book link DuckDuckGo.com and SpreadPrivacy.com Convention of States So what do we do from here? I propose finding sources that will tell us the truth, rewarding them for their work, and spend time listening to each other to discover our agreements, not just our differences. Turn off the commercialized media and we’ll be happier people. I propose getting involved in calling a Constitutional Convention like the Convention of States proposes to impose term limits. Finally, I propose we work to take care of each other. To give more than you take. This is the path I’m on. We can all do these things. Are you in?

When you don’t know where you’re going, distractions look like opportunities. From Kevin Thompson on Facebook. The world expects that its requests will be accepted. That assignments, lunch dates, new projects, and even favors will get a yes. It’s just a small ask, the person thinks. The problem is obvious—if you spend all day hitting the ball back, you’ll never end up serving. Seth Godin, The Process. Scott Adams in How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big. I’d recommend that one too as you start the new year. I plan to read it again to help me create systems to feed my goals --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/realtycaffeine/message

In our business, we rely on our databases, our sphere of influence, and local connections. I run across an agent occasionally who is really new to the area, just getting started or for some reason has never developed enough contacts to sustain a business. This is a system I've taught in the past that helps combat that problem in just 8 weeks and it builds your database as you go. Here is a link I mentioned in the show https://jerrywrobertson.com/fast-farming-8x8/ that will take you to the blog article. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/realtycaffeine/message

I see lots of new agents ask how to pick a broker and the answers tend to run along ‘splits’ and ‘training’. Training in how to be a real estate agent is important and there are lots of ways to do that. In-person training, online training, hire a coach, find a mentor, and lean on your broker or team leader for direction and advice. They will all teach you the job of being a real estate agent. There is a more critical aspect you need to consider, however. Do they teach you how to run a real estate business? Keep listening for the reality of picking a broker.
