Have you ever taken your car to have the tires rotated and they told you your car was out of alignment?  The biggest indicator of this issue was probably the uneven wear on your tires.  Chances are, you didn’t even notice it while you were driving, unless it was seriously misaligned.  Drive five miles, and […]

Business 101

One of the more difficult aspects of ourselves to identify and accept is whether we are operating from a scarcity or abundance mindset.  If you are not familiar with these concepts, the terms originated with Stephen Covey in his book The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.  The scarcity mentality person sees the world as having finite resources.  Imagine a pie.  If one person takes a bigger piece of the pie, then the others inherently get smaller pieces.  The scarcity mindset person predicts the worst and expects to be disappointed.  The abundance mentality person has a deep inner sense of personal worth or security.  They believe that there is plenty out there for everyone with some left over.  They are optimistic and hopeful for the future.

The Market Has Shifted, Have You?

Yes, it’s that time of year again. Lots of parents are getting their kiddos ready to go back to school.

When is the last time you’ve been ‘back to school’?

Back To School

We all possess stealth expectations in many aspects of our lives: our relationships, celebrating holidays or special occasions, on the job or at school. In almost every aspect of our life, it is likely that we have developed some expectations that we are not aware of.

Stealth Expectations

Trainer.  Mentor.  Consultant.  Coach.  These rolls are often referenced interchangeably,  however, they are actually quite different.  The first difference is in who carries the responsibility.  With a trainer, mentor, or consultant, the client is primarily dependent on the professional for both content and improvement.  With a coach, the client carries the bulk of that responsibility […]

What’s The Difference?

Have you ever noticed how some real estate agents seem to do virtually no prospecting and yet the business seems to just flow to them?  What is it that they have that the rest of us don’t have? I have watched this phenomenon unfold in both brand new agents and experienced agents.  And when you […]

I don’t need a coach.  I know what to do already.  I just need to do it. These three short sentences, usually linked together in one statement, are the most common response I hear when I ask someone if they have considered hiring a coach.  Maybe you can recall uttering, or at least thinking this […]
