Episode 99. Bonus  For this Bonus episode, I've invited two British women, Lindsay Simmonds and Julie Siddiqi, both PhDs, to talk about their interfaith friendship and the public facing work they've done since Hamas' attack on Israel on 7 Oct. 2023. Lindsay is an Orthodox Jew and Julie is Muslim. The fact of their religious identities and deep practice is noteworthy and relevant, as the attack and subsequent war, have proven polarizing, straining the already challenging work of bridging religious differences between Jews and Muslims. Lindsay and Julie offer an inspiring example of possibility, showing us the path to connection, communication, and healing, while not shying away from the challenges. Given the long standing and apparent intransigence of the conflict, this seemed a good time for some hope.Highlights: Intersection of deep faith practice and interfaith work.Organizing inclusive events amidst tension.Impact and significance of their work.The role of space, gender, and representation.Trivializing women's impactful initiatives.Sustaining hope and setting intentions for the future. Bios:  Dr. Lindsay Simmonds is a Research Fellow at the London School of Jewish Studies (LSJS) where she has lectured for 20+ years. She recently worked as a Researcher at the London School of Economics (LSE), UK, working on Women of Faith and Peacebuilding.Lindsay is very active in local interfaith work. She has five adult children and five grandchildren, and she promotes women's participation in her local orthodox Jewish community in London. Dr. Julie Siddiqi MBE is a mentor, consultant and gender equality campaigner with a focus on interfaith relations, applying that to social work. She has 25+ years of experience in community work predominantly in the Muslim community as well as in interfaith work. Julie is a qualified Life Coach.

In this episode, we explore the subtle yet powerful difference between blame and responsibility. Learn how understanding this distinction can transform your personal and professional life, empowering you to move forward with clarity and confidence. From personal anecdotes to actionable steps, we dive deep into the topic of responsibility and how to embrace a growth-mindset. Key Takeaways: Blame vs Responsibility: Blame often disempowers us, leading to feelings of inadequacy. In contrast, taking responsibility empowers us, opening the door for growth and learning. Recognizing the difference can drastically change how we approach challenges. Importance of Responsibility: For high achieving women, particularly those in leadership roles, embracing responsibility fosters growth, strengthens relationships, and establishes trust. It's not about guilt, but about learning, evolving, and setting an example for others. Embrace Responsibility by using one of the actionable steps outlined in the episode. Do a self-audit, pause & reflect, ask: "What did I do well?" and "What will I do differently next time?", develop a personal mantra, or seek accountability. Remember, taking responsibility is a sign of strength. It reflects self-awareness, growth mindset, and the commitment to continuous self-improvement. Bonus: For those interested in a deeper dive into this transformative journey, there are new slots open for private coaching sessions. Don't miss this opportunity to elevate your mindset and achieve even greater success.

But the Bible is notoriously skeptical of images, because we can't capture God in a finite image. But what if God GAVE us an image? In Christ, God did.

Use code DAVE to get 20% off.IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™... …you'll find out how plant-based humic substances have the power to stop and reverse the effects of glyphosate damage in both humans and soil.Caroline Alan, co-founder and CEO of BEAM Minerals, explains how minerals provide your body systems with critical cellular support, how they get depleted and how you can replenish them. She goes even further to talk about glyphosate's harmful effects on human health and soil health, particularly when it comes to minerals.In her former corporate career of software development and business consulting, Caroline experienced problems physically, mentally and energetically. She struggled with issues like life-long gluten intolerance, whole-body inflammation, leaky gut, chronic headaches, flat-lined adrenals and low thyroid. Her chronic health issues didn't resolve until she began taking plant-based humic and fulvic minerals.This cellular support changed her life so dramatically, she started deep research into the science of minerals and co-founded BEAM Minerals. Then she kept going and began to look more closely at the current problems with farming in soils that have become unproductive due to a lack of microbial and mineral content. She investigated the effects of glyphosates on soils and in the human body and found:One of the root causes of unhealthy soil can be linked directly to glyphosate use in modern production farming.One of the root causes of mineral depletion and chronic illness in modern humans points directly to glyphosate ingestion.The bottom Line? We all have glyphosates in our bodies. Here's what it can do: Suppress critical enzymes, create gut dysbiosis, chelate minerals from your system, reduce mitochondrial function, and cross and affect the blood–brain barrier. Studies also show more use of glyphosate can lead to an uptick in chronic and acute health conditions.Research finds that plant-based humic and fulvic substances offset glyphosate harm. This conversation will help you recognize symptoms of mineral depletion in your own body. You'll get practical tips about how to use 100% bioavailable, plant-based fulvic and humic mineral supplementation in easy forms like liquids and topical spray.BONUS: For research links and other resources about glyphosate and humic/fulvic substances, visit daveasprey.com/glyphosate.WE APPRECIATE OUR PARTNERS.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Help with the Forum; wiki editing, giving feedback, moderation, and more, published by Lizka on April 20, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. There are a number of ways you could help make the Forum (even) better, and we're opening an expression of interest form in case you'd like to get involved in any of the ways listed below. Note that we're interested in a variety of models; you could be a contractor working a certain number of hours, a volunteer, or even potentially a full-time hire. EA Forum Wiki Editing and adding to the EA Forum Wiki Giving feedback on drafts of Forum posts Forum upkeep Deleting spam and approving non-spam Adding relevant tags to new posts Moderation Enforcing and promoting the Forum norms. General expression of interest [Bonus] For everyone: actions you can take to improve the Forum ⇨ Express interest ⇦ You do not need to have any particular experience for any of these tasks. If interested and in doubt about whether you're qualified, please just submit the expression of interest form! Please note that this is just an expression of interest. We may end up not adding anyone to the team. By default, we would suggest a contractor rate of around $30 per hour for most of this work, but you could volunteer your time if you prefer. Declaring a wish to volunteer will not make us more likely to work with you on this. 1. The EA Forum Wiki The EA Forum Wiki does the following: Explains key concepts in an accessible way (here's an example) Helps organize writing; it collects content related to a given EA-relevant topic in one place, so that it's more discoverable (for instance, you can find the “improving institutional decision-making” posts at the relevant tag) It might also serve as a basis for communities or subforums that will be formed around given topics (e.g. “biosecurity” or “animal welfare” communities) Forum users do a lot of great work to make the Wiki happen, but having regular contributors could help unlock the full potential of the Wiki. You can read more about the point and functioning of the Wiki here. What you can do: Write and improve entries Help organize the Wiki Tag posts You'd likely be a good fit if you: Are happy to learn about a broad range of EA-relevant topics Read content on the Forum a lot Are willing to write sometimes If any of this is interesting to you and you think you might be able to work on it, please express interest! 2. Giving feedback on drafts of Forum posts Would you enjoy looking at drafts of posts and giving feedback? We may be interested in putting you in touch with people who are looking for feedback; we think this often leads to good posts that wouldn't have happened otherwise and is generally a useful community service. You'll work with Lizka (me). I'll be giving feedback occasionally, but may not have time to give feedback every time it's requested, and will direct people to you when that seems appropriate. (Note that you could also just be an active participant in the EA Editing and Review Facebook group.) You'd likely be a good fit if you: Are encouraging Would enjoy reading drafts and giving feedback Have a sense of what makes for a good Forum post [Not required] Have domain expertise in a particular field 3. Forum upkeep As sketched out above, the main upkeep tasks required on the Forum are: Deleting spam and approving new non-spam users Adding relevant tags to new posts Sorting spam and adding tags are some of the most crucial activities listed in this post. We're doing our best to ensure that the Forum is one of the clean and safe places on the internet, and we'd love help with that. I'm interested in hearing from you even if you'd just be willing to commit to regularly going to the Frontpage to approve non-spam users and delete spam comments. 4. Moderation This involves occasionally helping to emp...

Real Estate Coaches Tim and Julie Harris pose 11 critical questions to help you make this important decision. Let's look at ways you can best determine whether or not changing or switching brokerage firms makes the most sense for you. Let's start out with the top 11 questions you need to seriously ask yourself that may indicate that a change is coming: 1 - Your personal income has been flat or in decline. Maybe you're doing the same volume, give or take, year in and year out. You seem 'stuck'. 2 - You are the best agent in your office. 3 - Your colleagues, broker, or brokerage, in general, are too negative. POP QUIZ: Please choose one answer: 1) I am ready to join EXP Realty.  2) I am interested in EXP Realty and need more info.  3) I am not interested in EXP Realty.  Key: * If you answered “#1” congratulations.

Today is part 3 of 3, DISC Personality Profile real estate training and coaching. Today we drill down on the S and C personality profiles (or styles)   The DISC Model of Behavior was first proposed in 1928 by William Moulton Marston, a physiological psychologist, in his book Emotions of Normal People. Marston made a deliberate decision to focus only on psychological phenomena that were directly observable and easily measurable.   Based on his research, Marston theorized that the behavioral expression of emotions could be categorized into four primary personality styles, based on the subject's perceptions of themself in relationship to their environment.   An important question for you.  2022 is almost here…have you completed your 2022 Real Estate Business and Lead Generation Plan?

Today is part 1 of 3, DISC Personality Profile real estate training and coaching. The DISC Model of Behavior was first proposed in 1928 by William Moulton Marston, a physiological psychologist, in his book Emotions of Normal People. Marston made a deliberate decision to focus only on psychological phenomena that were directly observable and easily measurable. Based on his research, Marston theorized that the behavioral expression of emotions could be categorized into four primary personality styles, based on the subject's perceptions of themself in relationship to their environment.

Keep in mind that psychology is not a ‘hard science', meaning it is full of abstract concepts, theory, observational analysis and conjecture. It is not the same as physics, chemistry or biology which have provable equations and actual laws. Most importantly, remember that DISC is not a science, it's a guide.  There is no specific personality style which is guaranteed to be successful or not successful in business or in real estate. Let's understand the philosophy, but also have some fun applying it in a practical and tactical way. What we want you to understand and implement is that it's your job to be more like your prospects and clients, not the other way around.

Real Estate Training and Coaching. How to take 3 listings immediately (using virtually the same script for every conversation) 1 - You must look at your own Center of Influence and Past Clients (your database) to create the inventory you're looking for! (Script to follow). 2 - You must identify every Unrepresented Seller (For Sale By Owner) within a 20-mile radius of your office or home office and speak with 100% of them about listing. 3 - You must identify at least 30 Expired listings within a 20-mile radius and speak with them about listing.

I WILL make NOW my best year ever! https://timandjulieharris.com/real-estate-coaching-programs/premier-coaching.html What to say? Scripting consists of 2 elements. 1 - Showing your potential seller the facts about the market... and: 2 - Actually being able to handle the objection (an objection is an unanswered question in the mind of the prospect): 'I'd sell but what will I buy?) What's your current answer?   "Yea, I know, it's really hard to find anything, then you have to compete." (that's not very motivational) Instead: SCRIPTS for part 1 (show the facts) and part 2 (deal with the objection) SCRIPT PART 1 Past Clients, Sphere of Influence (your database): (Open with some rapport, use your FORD elements (Family, Occupation, Recreation, Dreams)...(expect them to ask, 'how's real estate?' "__Bob___, I'm reaching out to all of my friends and clients this week just to share some market news with you so you stay informed. I'm sure you've noticed that there aren't many For Sale signs around right now.   Question….did you download your fill-in-the-blank business and life plan yet?

(listen to the answer) So now that you know that we could likely get at least ____ for your home, what does that do to your plans? / Would you like me to prepare a market analysis to see what you could expect to net in today's market?" Note: Even if they say they're never moving, you can still ask who they know who could use your help buying or selling real estate. Note: If they say the predictable: 'Well, that'd be great but where would I move to?'...move on to  SCRIPT Part 2  "That's a great question and it's certainly on everyone's minds lately. Let's look at a variety of options and see which might be the most comfortable for you... A lot of people are buying first and then selling. With super-low interest rates and the likelihood of your home selling as soon as we get it on the market, many people are just buying first, closing, and then selling the old home.   Some people are choosing to build and then sell. Building buys you time and you get a brand new house with nothing to repair.

Where's the inventory? When will the market change? What can I do? How can I take 3 listings immediately without spending any money? Fact: Inventory of available homes for sale is at an all-time low. Year over year, active listings have decreased 20 to 50% depending on your city. Active listings are hovering at about 410,000. Yet more than 6 million homes sold last year. What are you doing to proactively find sellers who wish to sell? As we have often reminded you, the market is not headed for an apocalyptic crash, raining discounted inventory on your town. Here's why: 1 - Demographic demand.  According to NAR, 45 million Millennials (ages 26 to 35) are ready to make a move this year. Rental payments are outpacing mortgage payments by 7.1%. Only 5% of rentals are even vacant, keeping supply down and payments high. FOMO or Fear of Missing Out is still playing a big role in the desire to purchase, especially before rates inch higher and higher. 2 - Builders can't keep up. The cost of materials has tripled for lumber, increased 22% for steel and many manufacturers are behind on shipping critical components. From toilets to refrigerators, the creation and delivery of these items are behind. Even paint is hard to get. Nationwide, the average cost to build a house is up to $24,000 on average.   Reminder, you promised yourself you would become a HARRIS Coaching client.

I WILL make NOW my best year ever! https://timandjulieharris.com/real-estate-coaching-programs/premier-coaching.html 3 - Institutional investors are gobbling up anything under $300,000 and almost always paying cash. In Phoenix for example, fully 30% of recent sales have gone to investors, either iBuyers or small investors. Flippers are also buying in these price ranges. 4 - The coronavirus pandemic is a short-term component stacked upon the long-term trend we discussed in the previous 3 points. People want more space, more privacy and now have the freedom to move markets due to flexible work environments. 5 - Low-interest rates continue to add fuel to the fire. Today's rate is 3.4% for a 30 year fixed, which is still extremely low. The highest mortgage rates ever were in 1981 and were over 18%. People still bought houses. A $500,000 home financed with 20% down at 3.4% has a payment of $2417. If that rate rises to 4.4% the payment will be $2,670. That same house would likely rent for $3500/month, depending on the market, and that's if you can even find something to rent.   6 - Record rates of savings in the US and a huge number of all cash transactions.  Baby Boomers have on average $152,000 saved, Generation X, $66,000, and Millennials $23,000.00. Stimulus money has accounted for 15% of first-time buyers' down payment money. Americans have currently saved more than any other time in history, a combined $2.7 trillion.

9 - Speak with all pending clients with transaction updates. Don't be 'out of sight, out of mind'. If you have a transaction coordinator, speak with your pendings once a week instead of once per day. 10 - Spend at least 1 hour working out, going on a walk or taking a class at a fitness center.  Group exercise is better for your business, expanding your Center of Influence.

5 - Show gratitude overtly to those you care about. Start your day out right saying I love you and giving hugs and kisses to your family.   6 - Set a new, prequalified appointment before noon every work day, ideally with sellers. You can't do this if you're not doing point number four (see above). This keeps you in pro-active lead generation mode during the work day. 7 - Visit / doorknock one Unrepresented Seller per day with your pre-listing package. Otherwise known as For Sale By Owners, they have their 'help wanted' sign in their yard with their phone number. You sell homes for a living. It makes sense that you're speaking with the obvious listing leads.

One of the most common questions our Real Estate Coaches are asked is, "How do I become successful faster?  How can I find success NOW?" The answer comes down to following a handful of simple daily rules or "minimum standards" which you never waiver from. These standards will keep you taking action on things that lead to your success. POP QUIZ: Please choose one answer: 1) I am ready to join EXP Realty.  2) I am interested in EXP Realty and need more info.  3) I am not interested in EXP Realty.  Key: * If you answered “#1” congratulations.

This includes your credit scores as well as your upcoming bills and actual budget. 3 - Make contact (a conversation with a decision making adult about real estate) with at least the same number of people as transactions you must do this year. If you must close 20 transactions to meet or exceed your goals this year, you must make 20 actual contacts daily to meet that goal. Adjust as your skills increase. Focus on people who are most likely to sell. Example: Existing listing leads you just need to close on, expireds, for sale by owners, probate, relocation, past clients and referrals. Just listed and Just Sold calls don't count unless they are directly around your own listing(s). 4 - Practice furiously fast lead follow up on 100% of your leads, 100% of the time, no exceptions or excuses. Don't have different lead follow up rules for different types of leads. Use our 18 Relentless Lead Follow Up rules if you're a Premier Coaching client.

Many of our real estate training and coaching clients have asked us how to structure a business and marriage without one being at the cost of the other. Today's show is part 1 of 6. Let us know what you think about this topic and these points...we are considering writing a book about this topic.  “Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is a success.” – Henry Ford "As iron sharpens iron one man sharpens another"  Proverbs 27:17 1 - Choose well in the first place. This means you have to discuss and at least mostly agree on basic things in life. Here are some things to consider: - Religion - Finances - Credit - Debt - Assets - Politics - How to handle each other's family - Plans for kids or no kids - Parenting styles - Mental and emotional health and history of mental health - Physical health and history of physical health - Education - Lifestyle expectations...describe your dream house and compare notes - Where you want to live geographically - Where do you want to travel.

How you feel about your spouse when you are newlyweds will not be the same in 3 years, 5 years, maybe even after a few months. That's normal. Be willing to evolve together.   3 - Don't hang out with people who have marriage issues. Birds of a feather flock together. You will absorb their stress and start inadvertently mirroring it in your own relationship. Tip: Don't have out with your single friends. Make new friends with people who have long-term marriages.  POP QUIZ: Please choose one answer: 1) I am ready to join EXP Realty.  2) I am interested in EXP Realty and need more info.  3) I am not interested in EXP Realty.  Key: * If you answered “#1” congratulations.

Real Estate Coaches Tim and Julie Harris pose 11 critical questions to help you make this important decision. Let's look at ways you can best determine whether or not changing or switching brokerage firms makes the most sense for you. Let's start out with the top 11 questions you need to seriously ask yourself that may indicate that a change is coming: 1 - Your personal income has been flat or in decline. Maybe you're doing the same volume, give or take, year in and year out. You seem 'stuck'. 2 - You are the best agent in your office. 3 - Your colleagues, broker, or brokerage, in general, are too negative.

The broker offers no tech support or has no added value for you being an agent with their office. They've never even heard of the Metaverse and certainly arent' operating within it. 6 - Your broker takes a cut out of every source of income including BPOs, home warranty sales, and processing fees. 7 - Your broker offers no real support or helps beyond transactions.  8 - You aren't getting the education, motivation, or action steps you need to succeed. 9 - Your brokerage offers no revenue share. 10 - Your broker offers no opportunities to purchase stock or offer stock awards. Many brokerages are public companies…only one offers stock rewards, discounts for purchase, and more. 11 - You have to work too hard to get your questions answered and feel like you're all alone.

RULES 1 - Create a Plan and follow it. Identify what the goal is for you to be in real estate.  Are you working part-time until you can switch to full time or is real estate always going to be supplemental? What's the income required for you?

Terms & Privacy: slkt.io/JWQ 2 - Know the difference between proactive lead generation and passive. (hint: passive will make you beholden and eventually broke) Be willing to prospect. A part-time agent who prospects is more efficient than a full-time agent who doesn't. The part-time agent will likely net a higher percentage of their income as well. Do not buy leads. Every time you pay for your leads, you're adding to what you have to earn to meet or exceed your goals. 3 - Track your numbers closely, using the White Board system we teach in Premier Coaching.  Concentrate heavily on lead generation and tracking your short, medium, and long-term leads. 90% of your time should be spent generating new business. 10% of your time will go to appointments. 4 - Choose your broker wisely. Make a profit on your transactions in more than just one way. Choose a broker who is already operating in the 'Metaverse'.

Today's podcast is part 3 of 4 (maybe 5) podcasts about the Metaverse and what it really means to the real estate industry, real estate agents, and our future.  6 - Is the metaverse a big video game that you "play' using a Virtual Reality headset, (like Oculus)? How will people physically engage and interact within the Metaverse? Remember AOL, download speeds that were measured in days, and 'you got mail'? How quaint those olden times were...and yet, that was less than 20 years ago. The metaverse could be the most significant change to humanity since humans created the wheel.  Get ready... Within the next 24 months or less there will be at least 1 company selling full-body haptic suits. (There are other competing technologies as well, force feedback versus haptic etc.) These look very similar to a wetsuit a diver or surfer would wear.  The company leading the pack on this emerging technology is called TelsaSuit (no relation to Tesla Automotive). Combining the TeslaSuit with next-generation Virtual Reality headgear will create an experience that is 90% similar to real life. For example, you will feel when someone touches you. You will feel the wind blowing. The virtual reality headgear and full-body haptic suits will be so immersive that many people over time will prefer to be in the metaverse over their real lives. Science fiction meets reality.  It's not all doom and gloom. Matter of fact, this technology could actually advance humanity at a faster pace. If you want to know what it feels like to go on a walk-in central park or walk up the Eiffel Tower, you can do that and never leave your home.  Consider this, the new full-body suits can simulate the actual effort required for physical activity. In other words, walking up the Eiffel Tower will feel like you are actually walking up the Eiffel Tower. How will this affect education, socialization, business meetings?   Maybe you want to speak to Heraclitus (c. 535-475 BCE) about his quote: “There is nothing permanent except change.” for a paper you are writing...well, you can. Imagine getting quotes from the AI version of the most significant people to have ever lived.  Side note: We know what you are thinking. yes, of course, the adult industry is going to lead the way for this technology...porn and other vices are often leading the way in new technology. When the internet entered the consumer markets in the US what were the first websites? Yep, porn. First Porn sites were live in late 1997.  7 - Is the Metaverse going to follow the same laws, rules, and guidelines as the physical world?  Not yet. Bad behavior in the metaverse can be more severe than today's online harassment and bullying. Unwanted touches in the digital world can be made to feel real and the sensory experience is heightened. Of course, that means you can hire a virtual Navy Seal to beat the virtual snot out of your virtual bully.... Question….did you download your fill-in-the-blank business and life plan yet?

Today's podcast is part 2 of 4 (maybe 5) podcasts about the Metaverse and what it really means to the real estate industry, real estate agents, and our future. 3 - Is the metaverse 'real'?It's a simulation where you appear as a cartoon-like avatar of yourself. However, over the next few years technology will move past people appearing as avatars to 1:1 simulations. Looking at a person in the metaverse will be almost the same as they appear offline. When 'plugged into' the metaverse things will look and feel very much like real life. Very soon it's reasonable to assume that some people will prefer to spend their lives in the metaverse vs real life.  4 - How many metaverses are there?It appears that there are many, but over time, there will be fewer as the market decides which metaverses are the winners. Facebook is spending $10 billion dollars per year on developing its version of the Metaverse. Virbella (owned by EXPI the holding company that also owns EXP Realty, already has a fully functional Metaverse called EXP World). Top 5 Metaverses as of today: 1) Decentraland 2) Sandbox 3) Axie Infinity 4) Cryptovoxels 5) Starltoken 5 - If there are many metaverses will my avatar be able to go from one metaverse to another? Reminder, you promised yourself you would become a HARRIS Coaching client.

I WILL make NOW my best year ever! https://timandjulieharris.com/real-estate-coaching-programs/premier-coaching.html It's likely that the different emerging metaverses will allow you to have one avatar that works on different metaverse platforms. Conceptually this would be like going from one country to another and only having to show your passport before entry versus having to become an entirely different 'person'. Your Avatar can look like you really look or an idealized version of you. Expect companies to emerge that will specialize in high-end avatar renderings.  Question….did you download your fill-in-the-blank business and life plan yet? If not, no worries.

Today's real estate training and coaching is a continuation of 'How To Generate 10 FREE Listing Leads Now!' 6 - Do NOT hire virtual assistants to 'convert' your sign calls. Do NOT force your sign callers to go to a website, opt-in, or do anything other than calling you! Also...actually answer the phone, or call back immediately. Furiously fast lead follow-up is what our coaching clients practice. It works. Your best leads are sitting out in front of your listing right now, wanting to see it asap and possibly buy it. They also have a house to sell. Be the one who helps them when they need help.

Terms & Privacy: slkt.io/JWQ 7 - Do use In Contract or Pending riders and then Sold on your signs. This is some of the most valuable, least expensive, most effective advertising you can do. Get permission from the new owner to keep your Sold sign up for a week after closing. Keep your home brochures in the box but change the message to a compelling message. For example: "Good news? I sold this home in XYZ neighborhood in less than 24 hours...bad news? There are 5 more people wanting to live here. Call me today to see if I already have a match for your home!"   8 - Consider using reflective real estate signs on your rural properties or land listings. They last longer and reflect like stop signs. This is another point of difference on listing appointments. 9 - Don't have a confusing, overly busy-looking sign with three hang-down riders and 14 phone numbers, a QR code, a website, and your Facebook address. Keep it simple! One number which goes straight to you. 10 - Open houses are also fantastic lead generators. Use your sign to advertise your upcoming open houses.  Use inexpensive 'bandit signs' to direct traffic to your open house, and doorknock the homeowners whose yards you're planting signs in. Ask them who they know who you should invite to your open. Follow up on all open house leads using our system and scripts to immediately convert leads to listings!

Fact: Your Real Estate Sign is a mini-billboard full of lead generation opportunities when outfitted correctly. Each listing could and should produce a minimum of one more listing in the neighborhood and endless buyer leads. Never pay for leads again!

Here is the quick and simple enrollment.—-> YES, Enroll Me Now In Premier Coaching. I WILL make NOW my best year ever! https://timandjulieharris.com/real-estate-coaching-programs/premier-coaching.html Fact:  Your Real Estate Sign is a ‘Moment of Truth'…neighbors, agents, buyers, and seller prospects make a snap judgment based on your sign looks! Many listing leads decide to call the agent whose sign they've seen in their neighborhood to interview to list their home. 10 ways to turn your sign into a lead machine: 1 - Only your mobile number or your 1800HomeHotline.com number with the extension should be on your sign.  Do NOT allow your sign calls to go to the receptionist, the in-office agent, or anyone besides you. It's your hard work, all leads go to you. Tip: DON'T be creative! Just copy the sample sign on 1800homehotline.com Tip: If you are 'list-less" borrow another agent's listing. Chances are they didn't even bother to use a sign or do any marketing.  Tip: QWR codes aren't as effective as using 1800homehotline.com Tip: The best buyers are driving neighborhoods. They have self-selected certain areas and are looking for 'coming soons' (or equivalent)  Tip: Assume that every buyer lead is a SELLER LEAD. Use our prequalification scripts.  2 - Use 1800HomeHotline.com to capture leads that you would otherwise lose. This system captures unlisted numbers, blocked numbers calls coming in at all hours. You'll have more leads of higher quality using this system. It's also an amazing, competitive listing tool. Go to 1800HomeHotline.com to learn more and turn your sign into a lead generation machine. 3 - Install a clear, weatherproof home brochure box on every listing, every time.  Stop calling your brochures 'flyers'. Flyers are what is handed out on the strip in Las Vegas. You have high-quality, full-color home brochures. Use a simple but inviting description, lots of pictures, and of course your phone number. Give the seller 50 more brochures to re-stock their sign. This is one way they also know you're doing a great job for them!

Today's podcast is Part 2 of Covid 19 Housing Crash Coming Soon?  Did you know that 01/21/20 was the 2 year anniversary of Covid 19 appearing in the USA? We have all now experienced the 3rd worst pandemic in the history of humanity.  What long-term effects will the pandemic have on housing (and civilization on a whole?) Remember, listen to part 1 here: https://timandjulieharris.com/2022/01/21/covid-19-housing-crash-coming-soon-real-estate-training.html What happens next? Will there be some sort of epic correction? Will interest rates cause that? A - Currently we have record LOW forbearance rates at less than 1.5% of mortgages and fewer than 1% of mortgages are in foreclosure. B - Fannie Mae has predicted that rising interest rates in 2022 will indeed affect housing demand, but only by 3.2% fewer loan applications, almost all of them being first-time buyers who are priced out, FHA and VA buyers. So far, even with rates inching higher, loan applications are up 8% this month.

What should an agent do? 1 - Recognize that your number one job in your practice is to generate listing leads, contact them, prequalify, present, negotiate and close. The buyers will come. 2 - Recognize and embrace the fact that you will need to do more, know more, and make more contacts to meet or exceed your goals this year. More agent competition and fewer listings to go around. Be the one with the listings. 3 - Know about new construction, know how to work with builders and new build sales reps. 4 - Stop expecting a market correction or crash. It's not happening. 5 - Get involved in coaching so we can keep you educated, motivated, and in action!

Did you know that 01/21/20 was the 2 year anniversary of Covid 19 appearing in the USA? We have all now experienced the 3rd worst pandemic in the history of humanity. What long-term effects will the pandemic have on housing (and civilization on a whole?) 24 months later, we have: 1- Record low inventory. As of today, there are fewer than 1 million actively listed homes in the United States. 2 - Record high prices, with the average home price at $408,800, are projected to keep increasing by at least 16% in most markets for 2022. 3 - An all-time record of licensed real estate agents, as of today, 1.6 million. 4 - Mid-size and secondary markets have greatly benefitted by 'The Great Re-Shuffle', with people moving to more rural areas and away from urban centers. 5 - Even our language about houses has changed. Now we have Zoom Rooms, Peloton Rooms, and 'Cloffices' (closet offices). 6 - The number of homeowners who refinanced or are in the process has doubled in the past 24 months. 7 - In spite of record-low inventory, we had a record number of sales, topping out at 6 million closings. 8 - We had 17 months straight of double-digit price gains. 10 - Record inflation with no end in sight. 'The Great Reset' is happening now. Housing will continue to INFLATE in a meaningful way for at least the next 12-24 months and then level off to 3-6% per year. The point is, today's price will seem like 'a deal' in 12-24 months.  Reminder, you promised yourself you would become a HARRIS Coaching client.

Today's podcast is PART 2 of 10 Biggest Agent Regrets & How To Avoid Them. 4 - Health and fitness fails.  How long are you going to wait to get in shape?  Does it take a health scare to get you into action?  78% of patients hospitalized with Covid are overweight.  Most who die had cardiovascular disease or hypertension before they got C19.  Start today to turn that ship around.  Working out at OrangeTheory, CrossFit, Zumba, etc, is not just good for you but will grow your business.  Learn the F-O-R-D script! - When you're working out, make a point to build your center of influence, to make new friends, and to become more and more confident talking about real estate. The F-O-R-D stands for the talking points which form your conversations. Family, occupation, recreation, and dreams. Everyone has those and talking about occupation opens the door for you to let everyone know what you do.

I WILL make NOW my best year ever! https://timandjulieharris.com/real-estate-coaching-programs/premier-coaching.html 5 - Relying on the Three B's of BS for your success. Building a team, buying a business, and building your brand.  None of these is related to your success. None of them are required for your success. Stop looking for external reasons and take ownership of your trajectory.  Learn to pro-actively lead generate, or you will never be in control of your potential! Building a team: When you've learned how to be a powerful listing agent, one who knows how to find, prequalify, present, list and sell listings, you can refer your buyer business to a buyer partner. Keep two or three buyers in your own pipeline, but these will be listing clients who are buying with you, repeat clients or quality referrals.

10 Biggest Agent Regrets  1 - Being BUSY versus being PRODUCTIVE.  Knowing what leads to your actual profit versus practicing ‘work theatre'.  Memorize this simple list of income producing activities and don't waiver from it. Lead Generation / Furiously fast lead follow up / Prequalifying / Presenting / Negotiating / Closing / lather…rinse…repeat! If you're doing something today which is not on this list, you're probably busy but not productive. Reminder, you promised yourself you would become a HARRIS Coaching client. You are done wasting time and ready to follow a proven path. Now, while you are here make the next natural step and join the 1000s of other agents as a HARRIS Real Estate University coaching member. No more waiting or procrastinating. Join now. Here is the quick and simple enrollment.—-> YES, Enroll Me Now In Premier Coaching. I WILL make NOW my best year ever! https://timandjulieharris.com/real-estate-coaching-programs/premier-coaching.html Many of your daily activities may seem like they are productive, but instead you're practicing 'work theater', doing things which are not predictable or duplicatable, and worse yet, probably are costing you both time and money. Things like: - Posting any social media that doesn't have to do with promoting your listings, client testimonials, searching for off market homes for your buyers or other posts related to your pro-active list from above. - Any activity starting with the word tweeking, trying or testing. - Following any 'coaching' or advice from anyone who isn't qualified to do so. 2 - Not showing overt gratitude to those who matter most.  Someone once wrote about a gentleman they encountered at a graveyard, who was placing flowers on his deceased wife's grave.  He said, ‘every day since she passed away I've come here to bring her these flowers…I should have done that long ago…she really would've loved that.'  Don't wait until it's too late. - Keep a gratitude journal. - Write five thank you cards or 'thinking of you' cards daily. Use social media to inform you of who is having a significant event in their lives and recognize them for it. 3 - Spending too much time ‘getting ready to get started', and staying in unconscious incompetence perpetually.  This is a result of analysis paralysis, following the wrong ‘guru', not being your own ‘guru', lack of exposure to success, or possibly just laziness.  All of these things are curable but you must be proactive. - Remember the plane taking off analogy. Most of the fuel is spent during take-off. If you keep taking off and re-landing the plane, you'll never achieve cruising altitude! - You don't have to know all of the steps, just take the first one. Maybe you don't yet know how to present your pre-listing package, but you know you need one. Get it done, listen to the coaching calls that go with it. Take the first step!

Today's show is part 4 of How To List 22 Homes in 2022. Be sure to listen to part 1 from yesterday's show.  10 - Your professional Center of Influence.   When was the last time your favorite lender sent you leads? When have you asked? Who do they know who is getting pre-qualified right now to buy and has a home to sell? Stagers are also great to know because smart sellers call a stager first. Refer business to stagers and ask for leads in exchange. 11 - Investors.  Join your local investors club through meetup.com or private Facebook groups in your town. You'll know who's looking for what property and which investors are likely to sell. This also will give you insider information about 'pocket' listings which can benefit your buyers. 12 - Door knocking. This is not at the top of the list because it generally takes more contacts to take a listing, but it is still effective when you're consistent. Door knocking can help you become more comfortable speaking with people about real estate and many times you'll be at the right place at the right time and indeed take listings from being there. Before you go door knocking, choose your neighborhood wisely. Does it turn over much? What's the average sale price? What's currently active, pending and recently sold? What's being built around the neighborhood? Is there new construction nearby? Become the go-to, neighborhood specialist and use good scripts at the door. Start with your own neighborhood since you already know it well. Reminder it's the New Year. You promised yourself you would become a HARRIS Coaching client. You are done wasting time and want to follow a proven path in 2022.

What would happen if you took 22 sale-able listings in 2022?   The average closing price at the end of last year in the United States was $408,800. Let's use $400,000 to keep the math easy. On average, that would gross the listing agent $12,000. Let's say the net profit to that listing agent is $9,600 on that transaction after fees, etc. $9,600 x 22 = $115,200. That's a good reason to list and sell 22 homes in 2022. That's less than 2 per month. We'll show you 12 ways to create those listings during this podcast series. Before we do that, let's think even bigger for a moment. Reminder it's the New Year. You promised yourself you would become a HARRIS Coaching client. You are done wasting time and want to follow a proven path in 2022. Now, while you are here make the next natural step and join the 1000s of other agents as a HARRIS Real Estate University coaching member. No more waiting or procrastinating. Join now. Here is the quick and simple enrollment.—-> YES, Enroll Me Now In Premier Coaching. I WILL make 2022 my best year ever! https://timandjulieharris.com/real-estate-coaching-programs/premier-coaching.html Let's say that each of those 22 listings produces at least one closeable buyer -or- another listing in the same neighborhood, which is entirely likely when you follow our proven systems. This would make your 22 listings into 44 closings. $9,600 x 44 = $422,400. Game on.  Things to consider before you accept the 2022 challenge: A) You will have to actively contact both people you already know as well as those you don't know.  People you know are past clients, people in your sphere of influence and agent referrals. People you don't know are everyone else. Are you willing to speak with both to earn your $422,400? B) You should analyze where your business came from last year and keep doing what has worked.  Consider doing MORE of what worked. For example, if you had 5 transactions from repeat clients, but you didn't have a system to speak with your database regularly, how many more repeat clients could you create this year by being more drilled down on that source of business? C) You must be willing to do what you don't want to do when you don't want to do it at the highest level. Keep doing what you're doing and you'll keep getting what you're getting. To go to the next level financially, you must go to the next level with your skills. D) You must ask for help when you need it. Don't waste time re-inventing the wheel, sampling or trying things out.   Still in? Let's look at your 12 effective lead sources to get you those 22 listings in 2022!  Question….did you download your fill-in-the-blank business and life plan yet?

A plan that will give you a sense of control and confidence. Your business and personal life will be governed in a systematic and predictable way, so you can achieve the results you desire. Now, let's get to work.  Part THREE: Move past the pandemic. What habits to keep, which to drop. 1 - Keep your newfound technology skills. Zoom or FaceTime when you can and respect your prospect's comfort levels with contact. It's not the same everywhere and everyone has different sensitivities. Ask which they prefer, in-person or video. 2 - Drop your lazy schedule habits. Just because you can work when you feel like it doesn't mean you're being productive. Actually follow a schedule (as prescribed by your Real Estate Treasure Map!) 3 - Stop using your mental energy worrying about things you can't control. This includes trying to predict what will happen in your real estate market, what will happen with Covid, who's going to be elected next. Concentrate on what you CAN control and make your own market.   4 - Keep your media-free mornings and listen to things that benefit you versus drag you down. Podcasts are a great way to choose what you're putting into your head!

Today is part 3 of 3, DISC Personality Profile real estate training and coaching. Today we drill down on the S and C personality profiles (or styles)   The DISC Model of Behavior was first proposed in 1928 by William Moulton Marston, a physiological psychologist, in his book Emotions of Normal People. Marston made a deliberate decision to focus only on psychological phenomena that were directly observable and easily measurable.   Based on his research, Marston theorized that the behavioral expression of emotions could be categorized into four primary personality styles, based on the subject's perceptions of themself in relationship to their environment.   An important question for you.  2022 is almost here…have you completed your 2022 Real Estate Business and Lead Generation Plan?

Are you ready to learn how to become a listing agent? This is part of (of 3) of Tim and Julie Harris's Listing process. This is an overview of the exact 7 step listing process:   Step #6: Present! It's showtime. * Remember that ‘presenting' begins at the time you convert the prospect from a prospect into an appointment. The better you are from the beginning, the higher chance you have of actually taking the listing. * Use our powerful and proven listing presentation. Do not wing it...even with past clients and people in your sphere, referrals, ‘slam dunk' appointments! They deserve your utmost respect, not your skipping of steps. * Pre-view the competition and pending listings to be as accurate as possible in your pricing. Remember, pricing it right in the first place prevents you from having to deal with reduction conversations later. * Know what's most important to the homeowner. Don't assume you know, don't assume it's always about price. Step #7: CLOSE!! * ‘ABC'...' Always Be Closing! No not the boiler room ABCs, but a questions-based approach based on a proven process. Know how to use soft closes, direct closes, and don't walk out the door saying ‘ok, I'll follow up in a few days!'... Instead, leave with signed documents in one step whenever possible! * The definition of ‘close' is that it's the LOGICAL ending to a GREAT Presentation. It's far easier to close when you've actually followed all of the previous steps!* Don't drop the ball once you've got the listing... you're still ‘presenting' until the seller gets that check at closing! * Use our Seller's 12 Week Communication Plan if your listings aren't selling quickly! * Remember: Listings are mental labor; buyers are physical labor. Being a great listing agent takes skill, practice, experience, and perseverance. Commit to becoming the best and soon you'll feel more freedom in your practice and less stress. How many buyers can you work with at the same time? How many listings? * The lifestyle of the listing agent is much more flexible as it's more scale-able than buyers.   An important question for you. 2022 is almost here…have you completed your 2022 Real Estate Business and Lead Generation Plan?

Terms & privacy: slkt.io/JWQt https://terms.smsinfo.io/tc.php?id=2886263&stlid=10950965   You lose by: -Showing up late or rescheduling, especially more than once. -Not being prepared so you seem to be winging it or taking their business for granted. -Sending long, text-heavy emails or lengthy voicemail. -Not following through on what you said you'd do. -Being assumptive versus factual. -Looking unprofessional, too casual or disheveled. -Not asking for their business. -Taking too long at your appointments / selling with blah, blah, blah instead of just blah!   The Influencer / Expressive Personality Style: Direct and Extraverted. -Life of the party types. They know everyone, are super social, very relationship-oriented. Party organizers.   -Tend to be aspirational and move a lot.   You win by: -Letting them be more dominant, especially if you too are expressive.  -Being fun and responsive to them.   -Know what they most desire and deliver it. Often this is to be in the same neighborhood as their friends or colleagues.   -Compliment, compliment, compliment! They love attention! -Accept their gifts and praise with enthusiasm. -Don't assume they write down or remember important things in the transaction or process. Confirm a lot and ask them to put it in their calendar, etc. -Showing more than telling.   You lose by: -Trying to be more dominant. -Being too quiet or aloof. -Assuming they read your long email or remembered your long voicemail. -Trying to sell them something they can't afford. This will make them embarrassed, disappointed, etc. -Being negative. Expressives are social and upwardly mobile types who like to have fun and share in group experiences. -Being too analytical. Not spreadsheet types.

Today is part 1 of 3, DISC Personality Profile real estate training and coaching.  The DISC Model of Behavior was first proposed in 1928 by William Moulton Marston, a physiological psychologist, in his book Emotions of Normal People.  Marston made a deliberate decision to focus only on psychological phenomena that were directly observable and easily measurable. Based on his research, Marston theorized that the behavioral expression of emotions could be categorized into four primary personality styles, based on the subject's perceptions of themself in relationship to their environment.  An important question for you.  2022 is almost here…have you completed your 2022 Real Estate Business and Lead Generation Plan?

Terms & privacy: slkt.io/JWQt https://terms.smsinfo.io/tc.php?id=2886263&stlid=10950965 These four types were labeled by Marston as Dominance (D), Inducement (I), Submission (S), and Compliance (C).  These four styles are now commonly referred to as Driver, Influencer or Expressive, Supportive or Amiable and Compliant or Analytical. There are many, many 'spins' on this, including tests and books. It's commonly taught in sales training and business school.   Marston created a model that integrated these four types of emotional expression into a two-dimensional chart. He used the criteria of 'introvert vs. extravert' and 'direct vs. indirect' to make that chart. We'll draw that chart together later in the podcast. William Marston was also known by a pen name of Charles Moulton, and also invented the prototype of what would become a lie detector. He wrote a lot about self-help and created the character Wonder Woman. Keep in mind that psychology is not a 'hard science', meaning it is full of abstract concepts, theory, observational analysis and conjecture. It is not the same as physics, chemistry or biology which have provable equations and actual laws. Most importantly, remember that DISC is not a science, it's a guide.  There is no specific personality style which is guaranteed to be successful or not successful in business or in real estate. Let's understand the philosophy, but also have some fun applying it in a practical and tactical way. What we want you to understand and implement is that it's your job to be more like your prospects and clients, not the other way around. Fact: Agents and Brokers who make the most profit in real estate are always those who understand versatility. Versatility means having the ability to handle a variety of types of personalities in a variety of situations with care and skill.   Agents who are versatile rarely say things like, "I only work with people I hit it off with", or "I just can't work with those analytical types", or "She just needed too much hand holding for me." Instead, their script is, "It would be my pleasure to help you with - - - ". Let's draw that chart! At the top of the page, you'll put the label, 'Direct' and at the bottom, you'll write 'Indirect'. Next you'll label the left side of the page as 'Introvert' and the right side of the page 'Extravert'. Next, draw a big plus sign on your page to split it into quadrants, so you'll have an upper left, upper right, lower left and lower right quadrant. Write the letter D in the upper left, I in the upper right, S in the lower right and C in the lower left quadrants. Now we'll label those as Driver, Influencer, Support and Communicator, clockwise. Write small, because we're going to add some description to each quadrant. Learn more about your ad choices.

Never end the day without following up on 100% of your leads. It doesn't matter if they came in your email, voicemail, text, or online. Follow up. * Remember that buyer leads are listing leads in buyer's clothing. Don't blow off your buyer calls just because you ‘already have too many buyers'. Use great scripts like ‘which home in the area do you plan on selling?'Step #3: Pre-Qualify for motivation and time frame * Pre-Qualify 100% of your leads, both buyer and seller, 100% of the time, using buyer and seller pre-qualification scripts, 100% of the time!!! Don't have different rules for different ‘types' of leads. An important question for you. 2022 is almost here…have you completed your 2022 Real Estate Business and Lead Generation Plan?

Are you ready to learn how to become a listing agent? This is part of (of 2) of Tim and Julie Harris's Listing process. This is an overview of the exact process:   The 7-Step Listing Process Accept the following: You have to list to last. Listings are mental labor, working with buyers is physical labor. Freedom comes with listings. You can simply handle more listing business than buyer business, once you understand the process. Being a listing agent requires more education, skill, polish, motivation, and perseverance than being a buyer's agent. Listing agents make a lot more money, more consistently, and with less stress. You Must Develop the Mindset of a Listing Agent. Listing agents know how to consistently generate listing leads, follow up, prequalify them, present in such a way they take the listing, negotiate in such a the way the listing sells, and close the deal. They are able to do all of that in such a the way that the seller sends lots of referrals their way and trusts that agent with their own future business.

Terms & privacy: https://terms.smsinfo.io/tc.php?id=2886263&stlid=10950965 Listing agents work with more than just repeat and referral clients. They are able to successfully help ‘colder' types of leads, due to their higher level of skill and confidence. Fact: Many agents do the same volume and number of deals year in and year out because they are dependent on ‘what comes to them naturally, ie, the easy business. In order to get to the next level, you must learn to not just work with people you know but also people you don't. The Listing Agent's 7 P's The profit comes from Previewing, Prequalifying, Preparing, the PLP, and a Polished, Professional Presentation. (Prayer doesn't hurt!) “Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy.” -Norman Vincent Peale Step #1: Generate the Lead * Remember the ‘Spokes in the Wheel' method of lead generation. There is no ONE, magic, silver bullet that will solve all of your lead generation needs. You must implement a minimum of 5 ‘spokes' of lead generation, perfecting, purifying, and pursuing until you are the BEST at each spoke! * In order to sustain long-term, ever-increasing success, you must do what you don't want to do when you don't want to do it, at the highest level... which often means doing MORE prospecting, marketing, and lead follow up than you THINK you should be doing! * If you struggle with lead generation, get help!! It doesn't have to be feast or famine, real estate roller coaster of income. Commit to ending cash ‘spurt's' and get into cash FLOW. It starts with getting great at lead generation.   Join us for the next presentation where you will learn Steps 2-5.   Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

7 - Establish exactly how many listings you need next year to meet your production goals. 80% of your transactions should be listings. The buyers will come via the listings. This is ultimately the most important number to focus on.  Example: Let's say you want to make $120,000 gross commission. Your average commission to you is $8,000. You'll need 15 total transactions. 12 (80%) should be listings. Concentrate on generating those 12 opportunities. 8 - It's easier to go fast than slow. 12 listings in a year are harder to focus on than setting one qualified listing appointment per week or per day for some agents. If one per month is easy for you, consider raising your goals!

BONUS: For a limited time when you text HARRIS to 47372 you will also receive a FREE Coaching call! 9 - Track your results. How many listing appointments do you need to go on in order to list the number you need to reach your goals? What is your personal appointment to listings taken ratio?  Your goal is to win 90 to 100% of the time when interviewing for listings. If you don't have this ratio, get help identifying why. This is what coaching is for. 10 - Focus heavily on your foundational ‘spoke' or source of business known as your ‘database'. Your past clients and centers of influence are most likely to do business with you again or refer someone to you. Call to connect, not just to ‘make contact'. Listen more than you speak on those calls and always ask who they know who you should be helping to buy or sell real estate. 11 - There's still time for two more open houses this year! You are likely to have a fantastic turnout. Choose houses in highly desirable neighborhoods and deploy our open house lead generation techniques if you're in Premier Coaching. If you're not…sign up for Premier Coaching! Open houses are an amazing source of business when done strategically. 12 - Set a goal of how many qualified buyer and seller appointments you will set in the next two weeks. It's ok to go ahead and set those meetings up for after January 1st if that's what the prospect desires. Get a head start on 2022! 13 - Start following the dollar productive schedule you created in your Treasure Map before it's 2022. You don't have to be perfect at it, but you do need to start following the habits that will get you to your goals next year. Start with a media-free morning and some daily minimum standards as discussed in both our Harris Rules book and the Treasure Map. 14 - Get caught up on Real Estate Coaching Radio podcasts! https://timandjulieharris.com/real-estate-daily.html 15 - Make the commitment that 2022 will be your best year ever and don't start the year without defining what that means. The previous 14 points are designed to give you direction and confidence so you can achieve those goals!

Real Estate Agent 2022 Action Plan 1 - Check on your pending transactions set to close the last 2 weeks of December or the first week of January and close them early if possible. Christmas and New Year's Day are both on a Saturday, but Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve are on Fridays, which will mean no one closes on those days! Avoid delays with smarter scheduling. 2 - Resolve all financing, inspection, possession, and appraisal issues immediately on your pending transactions. This is how you should always operate, not just during the holidays, but especially during the holidays. The issues don't get better when you procrastinate them. Communicate regularly with these clients so they don't cancel on you due to their own holiday stress! 3 - Send Christmas or Holiday cards to all your pending clients, coming soon listing clients, anyone who referred business to you, including other Realtors.

Be sure to include anyone who has referred business to you, or tried to refer business to you, even if it didn't work out. 5 - In this last month of the year, decide when you'll be ‘on' and when you'll be ‘off'. It's ok to take time off, but it's inefficient and stressful to be half in and half out. Decide what your workdays are what your play days are and mark them in your schedule. 6 - Get your Real Estate Treasure Map completed. This will establish goals in five areas of life (Family, Financial, Physical, Spiritual, and Educational) as well as your specific production goals, your ideal daily schedule, and your sources of business. This is your business plan and gets you in control.

Along the way, they outline how to onboard a new community association board and/or counsel, who the association's lawyer actually represents, when the lawyer needs to be consulted, and how to avoid making the most common management mistakes. Benefits of board member training and certification, along with implementation of technology, are also discussed.BONUS: For lawyers and law students unfamiliar with this area of law, Donna and Denise tout its recession-proof status, the people skills required, and how rewarding serving communities as counsel can be.

Corissa Saint Laurent is a professional motivational speaker and coach for The Hear Me Roar Program. It’s an amazing online program that encourages women to use the power of their voice to enhance their life and business. Today, Corissa shares the most important points of finding that power within you to Reclaim Your Roar! “Becoming better means going deep into your soul to find what you want and what you’re made of.” Being vulnerable and connected to who we are should always come first. This mindset allows us to be more genuine to the people we interact with. Before even getting to know who our clients should be, we have to know who we are first. “Love and Acceptance” These are two things that we always strive to achieve and to give. We are so driven by external successes that we oftentimes forget to give these things to ourselves first. Tap into who you are. Accept who you are and love that person. When done this way, we eliminate all insecurities and we are able to give wholeheartedly. The Basics Face Your Fear - Because we really need to dig deep into our souls, some people feel fear and apprehension. The idea is to acknowledge and conquer that fear in order to finally find the courage to move on. Changing Your Response - When we feel fear, we signal our body of impending danger or death. By telling our minds that nothing bad will happen, we will be able to take the next step. For instance, if you are afraid of speaking in public, telling yourself that it’s okay, and that rejection from your audience does not mean the end, will subconsciously help you alleviate that feeling. From Meowing To Roaring The hear me Roar Program Program begins with a process of self discovery. It will challenge all the ways you have been acting, thinking and feeling. It will teach you how to connect to the heart of who you are and find your center. And from that center, you will find the freedom to express yourself. BONUS: For all my listeners out there, you can use promo code CXREV to get the online course PLUS the 1 on 1 coaching session with Corissa, for just the price of the course ($195 instead of $295). It’s our very first exclusive offer and I’m so excited to be able to offer this to you! More to come! “Who you surround yourself with matters.” Surround yourself with people you want and hope to be. Join communities that can help you tap into your full potential. Take the first step by joining the Client Experience Revolution Facebook Group and let’s surround ourselves with grace and positivity there.

Two incredible power houses in their own fields joined forces to help parents writing the book, "Outsmarting Your Kids Online - A Safety Handbook For Overwhelmed Parents".   I read this book in about two days. I know some of you could do it in about three hours. It's an easy read but more importantly it's got immediately actionable things you can do to help protect your family. Amber and Michael talk about the must do's, the need to do's and the should do's that can make an immediate difference in your awareness and knowledge of not only what is happening in your children's life, but what they are doing in their online environment.  More importantly than that, you can recognize the hazards and dangers that might be knocking on their virtual door trying to get into their real world.  Amber and Michael have shared their expertise in the cyber world with you in this book in a way that even the most tech challenged individual can get what they are talking about, relate it to your life and show you just how important the information is.  Think you know everything there is to know? Think again. I've studied both Amber and Michael. I've listened to them teach, I've read their books, I've taken their courses and this book still taught me plenty.  ABOUT MICHAEL AND AMBER... Amber Mac(Arthur) started her career in San Francisco and Boston during the dot-com boom in the late 1990s. As a strategist for Razorfish and Director of Marketing for an e-procurement software company, she spent four years in the technology start-up trenches. Amber left the start-up world to join Microsoft to build one of the first female-focused lifestyle portals. In 2006, with her brother, she started her own digital agency called Konnekt. The company’s first client was world-renowned business coach, Tony Robbins. Her company’s clients include Microsoft Xbox, Ford Motor Company, Tony Robbins, Canada Goose, Fast Company, PayPal, Canadian Blood Services, and many more leading organizations. In 2010, she wrote the national bestselling business book Power Friending (Portfolio: New York).  Amber has keynoted more than 250 events around the world, in which she addresses the topic of business innovation and what it takes for companies to adapt and grow. Michael Bazzell spent 18 years as a government computer crime investigator. During the majority of that time, he was assigned to the FBI’s Cyber Crimes Task Force where he focused on "Hackers" and various computer crime investigations. As an active investigator for multiple organizations, he has been involved in numerous high-tech criminal investigations including online child solicitation, child abduction, kidnapping, cold-case homicide, terrorist threats, and high level computer intrusions. He has trained thousands of individuals in the use of his investigative techniques.  Michael currently works and resides in Washington, D.C. He also serves as the technical advisor for the television hacker drama "Mr. Robot" on the USA network. His books "Open Source Intelligence Techniques" and "Hiding from the Internet" have been best sellers in both the United States and Europe. They are used by several government agencies as training manuals for intelligence gathering and securing personal information.    You can find them online everywhere, but for simplicity sake, I'll share their websites and their Twitter links: Amber  Web Twitter   Michael Web Twitter   BONUS: For you Mr. Robot fans, off air I got Michael to open up about Season Two...OMG!!!
