Lighting another's candle.

Lighting another's candle.

 

Sharing experiences or industry knowledge with new or seasoned agents can further solidify relationships or create partnerships, encouraging successful standards through an abundance mindset. Willing participants do embrace sage advice.

 

Believing in one's abilities spurns longevity in real estate practices. Of course, that also depends on many factors relating to self-motivation, intentional actions and a 'can do' attitude. Inspiring others creates a win-win for all industry professionals!

 

“A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle.”
--Thomas Jefferson

One must believe in one's self and have crystal clarity regarding that belief.

A childhood lesson is that we will all be remembered for our service to others or not, Charles Ross - eXp Realty LLC. I prefer to be the first part of that sentence!

Helping another generates good will, Leanne Smith. Some will, some won't and a choice to be made!

The brighter, the better, Margaret Rome Baltimore 410-530-2400! Helping a fellow agent or a neighbor brings about the same result, in the form of appreciation.

Good afternoon Wanda,

I've always felt inspired by this quote by Thomas Jefferson because as he says one candle has nothing to lose by lighting another AND had so much to be gained!

I love that sentiment and I agree with you completely. And then there's the side benefit - how good you feel when you know you've helped someone else succeed.

That is such a wonderful thought by Thomas Jefferson. I share knowledge all the time because you never know when you're going to need something from someone else. That just makes life grand in my book Wanda 🙂

Wanda Kubat-Nerdin - Wanda Can!  I follow you and somehow missed this post so glad Carol Williams  featured this post, and interestingly I am a fan of helping newer agents, ironically I never heard of this quote from Jefferson, loved it, Endre

Short, sweet and so true Wanda Kubat-Nerdin - Wanda Can! I love this because it reminds me of the traditional candle lighting service on Christmas day.

Takes little to brighten or enlighten, Bob "RealMan" Timm. Good point on the candle lighting tradition!

When I was new in this business, I was very appreciative of those fellow agents who would answer the questions of a newby. At my brokerage, there were those who were helpful and those who were not. I still remember and thank those who were willing to share knowledge and help me.
