Dear Optimists, Pessimists and Idealists:

While you were all busy discussing the water in the glass, I drank it!

Sincerely;

The Opportunist

Question:  Which are you?

Emmit Smith was the Keynote Speaker yesterday morning.  Great talk from a very humble Pro-Bowl, Hall of Fame NFL great that has successfully reinvented himself in an varieties of great businesses outside of Professional Football.  He owns a commercial real estate company, construction firm as well as being actively involved in charities in his adopted hometown of Dallas.  Even though I am a Redskins fan, it was a real pleasure to have met him.  Just a GREAT guy!

Do you have what it takes to sell 100 homes?

Were you a 'born salesman'?  Do you have a gift of gab?  Are you an extrovert?  Outgoing?  Have tons of friends and contacts?  Are you just plane lucky?

Naaww...none of that crap ensures success.

Are you willing to study others that are successful? Are you willing to do what they do?  Are you willing to learn?  Are you willing to suck at it for a little while?  How about this, are you willing to feel a little embarrassed while you're learning and growing?

If you answered YES, not just yes; But YES (maybe even HELL YES!), then you ABSOLUTELY have what it takes to Sell 100 Homes!  That's the GREAT news!

The even BETTER NEWS...There are some good people out there who are willing to share with you how to get there.  To show you the shortcuts.

If you are looking for someone to be your mentor, I'd like to apply for the job!  Please click the 'YES, I'd like to apply' button above.  Fill in the application and get it back to me asap.  I'll get back in touch with you quickly and get you on your way to Selling 100 Homes a year!

Thanks and Make it a GREAT Day!

Jesse

Hope your time off was GREAT!

Parties, family gatherings, friends...the end of one year and the beginning of a new year is always a busy time where our thoughts, hopes and dreams are of a better new year.  After all, the new year promises to be new...new business, new income opportunities and the resolutions we make and tell others about make it seem like it'll be a no brainer.  Business will flow like rain water down a gutter.  We'll make so much stinkin' money we'll pay off all those credit card bills, get caught up on the payments, finally put some money in the bank.  Heck, we may even make an investment or two.

Sounds great!

I really hope it works out for you just like you dreamed about it while telling friends and family about those resolutions.

The hard cold reality (cold as a Polar Vortex) is that if you haven't written those goals down, worked through what you have to do to reach them on a daily, weekly, monthly and quarterly basis and reviewing them on a consistent, daily basis AND actually doing what you wrote down that needs to be done on a daily, weekly, monthly & quarterly basis; the odds are stacked against you reaching any of them.  It's like hoping, wishing and praying about winning the lottery but not buying a ticket...can't win if you don't play.

I'll end this post now so you can get busy writing  your goals.  I would suggest you write goals in a few different areas of your life: financial, physical, personal, spiritual & family (relationship).  Okay, enough reading, start writing.  I'll talk with you again shortly.
