Podcasts about key points keep

Sermon Summary: This sermon concludes a series on the book of Hebrews, emphasizing the importance of keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus as we live out our faith. The preacher explores five key commands from Hebrews 13, urging believers to love one another, show hospitality to strangers, remember prisoners, honor marriage, and be content with what they have. These instructions are framed within the context of God's grace and the understanding that Christians are "strangers and pilgrims" in this world, often at odds with prevailing social norms. Key Points: Keep on loving one another as brothers and sisters Show hospitality to strangers Remember those in prison and who are mistreated Honor marriage and keep the marriage bed pure Keep lives free from the love of money and be content Christians are called to live differently from the prevailing culture God's grace empowers believers to live out these commands Believers should recognize the inherent dignity of all people as image-bearers of God

Say DEI and you'll be ruffling many feathers these days. In this episode I am taking a deep dive into how we can flourish in these anti-Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) times. As disappointing as it is for us to see a sudden rollback from DEI Initiatives, I suspect 'they' do not realise what a rude awakening they are in for. Very few of today's generation and switched on workforce is going to sit back and accept it.   While broligarchs are trumpeting the anti-DEI noises, thankfully many organisations big and small are finding innovative ways to sustain DEI efforts without attracting negative attention. As someone deeply involved in learning and development, I stress embedding sustainable changes into company cultures while guarding against the barriers being raised by 'the trumpeters'.   I say, let us use our frustration to fuel our advocacy for DEI, visibly and covertly, as we can.   *** Key Points ***   Keep the DEI advocacy happening Reframe if we need to Innovate to counteract anti-DEI rollbacks   *** Resources ***   Visit https://hub.flourishingintroverts.com/resourcesp for tools and resources mentioned during the podcast.

On this episode of the Real Estate Fight Club Podcast, Jenn and Monica are going to fight about what are the top negotiating strategies to win a deal? The two broad categories for winning the best deals are relationship with the agent and positioning of the offer. Your relationships in this market help you win deals. Tune in for all talk on structuring the deal and what strategy will come out on top!   Episode Highlights: Jenn's hostility is going to come out with what you shouldn't do if you're trying to negotiate a good deal, says Monica. The tip is you do have to call the listing agent to ask questions. You can find out as much information as you can about the seller about what they want, what they're looking for, but don't be annoying about it, just be normal, suggests Jenn. The seller gets to decide about the offer, but realtors are also people, and we do not hide our feelings very well. We need to take the best offer, but if we know the agent is a lunatic, his clients are too. The first point of negotiation is the initial contact with the agent because you are finding out about the seller, and you are giving buyers what they want, says Jenn. Monica asks Jenn, “what do you think about saying to the agent, ‘if there is anything that your sellers need that you think we could adjust and get done, or opening the door for a comeback from them?'” A buyer's consultation is so important because it is part of the negotiation and preparing  them about the market and what to expect too. Cash is king, and it is still speaking louder than any sort of contingency. Cash or the best price is the motivating factor for the sellers. Relationship with the agent and then positioning is what needs the buyer to understand in the ranking of sellers, says Monica. If you are submitting a few contracts and it is not getting accepted as the buyer's agent, the buyer will stop trusting you. So, bring somebody else in before you lose that client. Tie-breaker, Sheryl is an EXP agent out of Tampa, Florida, and she was part of the team that helped build the iBuyer program that EXP uses. In so many markets, the iBuying dynamic is prevalent and what Sheryl loves so much about working with investors is it is not emotional, it's all numbers. Jenn asks Sheryl, “What are some of the tips that you have seen work that maybe traditional agents haven't thought about doing but could do?”   There is no coincidence that for experienced, seasoned agents, 85 to 90% of their business comes from their spirit of influence, trust, and love with agents and clients, says Sheryl. Sheryl suggests acting according to the situation and learning what your client wants and needs, assessing the situation on the seller's side of what they want and need are tips for winning the deal because it is just a matter of managing both. If you are an agent doing less than ten transactions and a single deal represents 10% of your annual income, you have to get to a place where you can pull yourself and your wants, and it has to be focused on helping your client, says Jenn. Sheryl has 36 iBuyers transactions with an admin and produces profitable lucrative business in a month. She says that her investors are working in multiple markets and explains what it looks like. We need to bring more value to the marketplace, and we need to do better in a collaborative nature, suggests Sheryl. 3 Key Points: Keep your honor and your word, people will pick your clients, says Jenn. If you have 30 showings, still call the agent because that is when they are going to tell you everything about that buyer. When they submit the offer, you have the leg up.   In a multiple offer situation, you need to make yourself stand out somehow, especially when writing up your offer, says Sheryl.

Key Points:Keep at it, it will be worth it in the endWorking a job and building a business force you to split your focus and attention. When you're able to focus on one thing, do it. It's okay to work on two things at once, but as soon as possible, concentrate your efforts and you will receive 10X what you get with a split focus.A leader doesn't see where people are at, a leader sees where a person can go. Strive to bring your team to their peak performance and you'll reap the rewards of a fantastic teamCustomer Service is key, give your customers your all and you'll reap the benefitsCBD does not work for everyone. CBD comes from hemp, not marijuana. CBD is legal.

Welcome back to The Literacy Dive! Writing is hard. Are your students feeling defeated from time-to-time in actually seeing their writing growth? Do you need new ideas for celebrating student growth and keeping student momentum going when it comes to writing? In this episode, I will share systems to use student writing samples as a way to empower them and continue their writing growth. No matter how far into the school year you are, it is not too late to begin these practices!    Key Points: Keep 3-4 student samples (beginning of the year, Nov/Dec., March, end of the year) Option 1: Consider adding student samples to their writing folder in sheet protectors; this writing stays with them all year long as a reminder of growth Option 2: Involve parents by sending copies of the samples home with report cards; this celebrates writing progression and parents gain insight from the visual growth Option 3: Keep writing samples on file separated by each student; keep this easily accessible to pull during writing conferences or when you want to celebrate student growth Option 4: Class display board; celebrate frequent writing samples and students begin understanding the importance of writing for an audience Every student is a writer and every student will show growth   Connect with Megan on social media: TpT Store Instagram Blog Facebook Page The Literacy Dive Facebook Group Youtube If you are enjoying The Literacy Dive, please subscribe, and leave a review on iTunes!

Host John Chapman of the John Chapman Show talks about his three practical ideas around having company stock, whether it is in the form of stock options or RSUs, and how they affect your net worth. Learn how not to let having the majority of your future funds tied up in the vitality that can occur with company stock.    Episode Highlights: John Chapman opens up about the topic of having too much company stock.  John creates a scenario about a married couple that both work with two young kids who bought a house in the suburbs.  What are the three practical ideas regarding company stock?   What does John Chapman mean by, ‘you are only as good as your salary?’ What does the high watermark theory refer to?  Always assume that you only have 50% of the company stock that you have.  Overlap an appropriate insurance and estate plan to your company stock situation.  Why do you need to understand vesting timeframes?  What is your flexibility with your stock money?  Does your emergency fund have 3-6 months of cash-on-hand?  What types of upcoming expenses do you have coming?  What is your medium to long-term expenses?  Don’t invest more than 20% of your net worth in one company.    3 Key Points: Keep your mindset in check.  Combine an appropriate insurance and estate plan.  Sit down with a financial planner to map out the vesting timeframes and decide what amount of stock you are going to sell and what amount you are going to hold.    Tweetable Quotes: “Personal financial is 90% personal and 10% finance.” – John Chapman “If your day-to-day lifestyle creep is going to get above and beyond your salary and it is going to start eating into your equity compensation, you are potentially going to run into a situation where you are mortgaging the future.” – John Chapman  “If you want to live like no one else, live like no one else today. Meaning, stay tight, keep within your means. You are only as good as your salary. So that, you can live like no one else tomorrow.” – John Chapman   Resources Mentioned: Linkedin: John Chapman

In this mini-series we’ll be prepping you to attend Scare LA, and if you can’t attend then you’ll still get a few takeaways to practice in your own haunt! In this podcast, Jacob discusses his upcoming class and the importance of storytelling suspense to deliver maximum fear in your haunt. Key Points: Keep it simple Repetition is crucial Suspense can be more impactful than jump scares Suspense dissipates with jump scares, which makes your Haunt's Rhythm important Proper scare plot testing is important What's the one thing any haunter can do right now?

He’s a writer/director whose first feature film THE FOUR-FACED LIAR premiered at Slamdance and went on to win the HBO Audience Award for “Best First Feature” at Outfest 2010.
