at a Seminar yesterday.....

[marilyn]

I was at Vero Beach yesterday for a Seminar and wanted to post some highlights and take aways for me from the speaker.


*Did you know, you have 60,000 thoughts in a day?

*An expert in his field has spent 10,000 + hours practicing...

*When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at will change..

*Do you have the power of listening? Non-verbal communication is more powerful than verbal.

*Are you a person who wants to consulted by others? or Do you want to be avoided?

*In order to lead, you MUST first follow! (I love this one)

*Know what you want....then always participate.

**Seek first to understand, than to be understood. (one of my favorites)

*Don't always assume you know what the other person is feeling or thinking.
Ask them, they will tell you.

*Separate the person from the problem...this one is always hard for couples for some reason....Perception, Emotion, Communication(it is always easy for some to blame others, when the problem is how they view things....this is one is all mine)

**Change the way you look at things today!

Like several of those, thanks, Marilyn. I have a teensy problem with the assumption in one that people will tell you what they really feel if you ask. Especially if you consider multiple cultures and not just "Murkins"

For men that translates into 59,999 thoughts that deal with sex, and the other 1 deals with "wonder what the wife made for dinner tonight"!!!

yes, but if you pay attention to the non-verbal, eyes, body, behavior..and follow their lead...make them comfortable, people will open up....in my experience, and I have met many of many cultures.

 

[marilyn]

I really like those, especially #3

[Thor]

I love realtors attitudes. So postive....

I love realtors attitudes. So postive....

well...I'm not a realtor eroc, and I've been positive all my life, no matter what.....there is always another way to look at things....You always can make adjustments, change how you feel, and think, if you want to.....or..........not..... and be someone who is negative, miserable, a cancer, always a fire in your life, never at peace, at home, at work, in traffic....

I am just someone who looks at things in a positive way, and don't sweat the small stuff....I won't let things I can't control bother me.

But yes, many in sales, including some realtors are very high "I" personality types.....some are not, and are not very good, because people can pick up on negative energy a mile away.....believe me, if you are not excited about what you do, no one else will be either.

Sorry if you didn't like my post. I noticed you posted something a while back about real estate, being a good time to invest, so i thought you might be a realtor. So I looked at your website and it said you were in real estate. Sounds like you took offense to me csalling you a realtor, I hope not I have friends that are realtors.

Yes I do beleive in being postive. I'm just the type of person that makes the finished product. Selling it makes it very easy to be postive at all times.

Please don't get offended, we just have to look at things differentlly. But I'm also a realist. I did like you post. My motivation comes from inside, I haven't lead a postive life at all times. I learned through my own mistakes and feel comfortable about the way I look at things now.

Hoo boy - yes.
You should try getting Japanese to speak their true mind.
Might as well stare at the sun and wait for it to burn out...

no offense at all.....I hope I didnt sound that way.......
I left new construction for a few months and tried general real estate (realtor)....but wasnt for me, due to I like and prefer new construction, and like working for a big builder.........I have to let some sites expire that I was on...no big deal, the contacts and referrals I get, I refer back to a few good agents that are great friends, so is all good....I work with many agents daily and have good relationships with them..I would never mean to sound negative about that, I would have no reason.
