I want to be better and more productive, but human nature talks us into being procrastinators. I do believe that successful people sacrifice time away from other things, I do believe that successful people do things t... 08/25/2014

How many times have you heard some snake oil salesman say "Why you can't do better!" or "You better hurry or it won't be my fault. You will lose!" Give me a break. I would like to look at these sales people and tell them to get off the moon, or take a xxxxxxx xxxx. It drives me nuts when people put on this bozo suit and go out to baffle the community. I think that gives Real Estate a bad rap in times. Who wants to run around the other side of the super market isle when they see people coming. Not me. Some rules that will never let you down. 1.

Be on time. 4. Qualify the people before you go out. ... 05/12/2014
