The Wolf and the Shepherd

-


Powerful people who are loved never find it necessary to use force to get where they want to go.

They understand that:
Power is not oppressing someone who is physically weaker than you...
That is just physics.

It is not screaming louder than another person...
That is just acoustics.

It is not the ability to control another persons actions with fear...
That is just cowardice.

Admirable power is not anything that forces a result.

It is the opposite.

It is maintaining composure despite feeling a natural animal instinct to react when taunted into a corner.

True power is realized in the moments you know you could break a person with your words...and deciding to never...ever do it.
Even if the person deserves it.

True power is getting behind a person on a platform above the ground, telling them it's safe to fall, and they do...without a moments pause...
Because they have no doubt you will catch them.

True power is providing more calm in the world.

More safety.

More reassurance. 

More support and encouragement.

Power is smiling when everyone expects a howl of protest.
Smiling when you are ask if you worry about who has more power than you.

A soft smile that says:
Even the Big Bad Wolf knows better than to go after the Shepherd...

Because the Shepherd stays strong for something other than himself.
And the lone Wolf doesn't.

 People who make their cause other people and mean it....are unstoppable.

That is true power.

It Takes Two to Tango

-
Getting your clients on the same page can be a challenge. It can be similar to teaching a couple how to dance. You can have the best music in the world. Provide the best stage. Showcase the dance floor with beautiful mood lighting. But if the two dancers refuse to tango together… There will be no dance. To have a Tango dance there have to be two partners dancing in sync with each other. Can you picture a Tango where the two partners both try and lead? Or worse, where no one leads? That is what it feels like where you have clients who are not on the same page for what is important when buying a home together. They often will look at you their agent and say the reason they cant make it to the “grand finally” is because of your failure at instruction. You should know better than to believe that . You cannot force a couple dance together. Similarly, you cannot complete a transaction with o...

Follow Your Gut: The real reason why you can trust a "gut feeling"

-
    “A gut feeling is instinctual.” It is either good or bad. That is often as deep as the explanation goes. We are going to go further so you can trust yourself even more… When you feel something in the pit of your stomach that is your bodies reaction to a stimuli that reminds you of everything you have come to know thus far in your life. All in a fraction of a second…whew! Everything that has ever happened to you has been stored in the Cortical Networks of your brain. And your brain sends a message to your stomach. The head makes decisions about a situation, and prompts you to pay attention. But the head is smart (redundant I know) The head is so smart it knows that it will out think itself I it doesn’t enlist help from the part of you incapable of doubt… And with your best interest in mind, the brain sends a command out. To your gut. By sending the memory related information to your stomach. Figuratively conceptualized as ...

To Grow Or To Stay

The Dilemma  If you work hard and make the sacrifices others are either unwilling or unable to make... One day you will find yourself having to make an uncomfortable choice as a contractor. You will eventually reach a crossroads where you have to decide if what you are doing now is the most you will do. The main constraint at this juncture is that you are at the mercy of physics like the rest of us. You can only be physically present in a certain number of places in one day before it becomes very obvious you have maxed out your time. Something big is happening here that many people do not think about. Most people think that if they chose to grow they are putting a lot on the line. Sacrificing family time or temporary income to train people to help you grow but that isn't what will change. If you are at this juncture you have the juggling thing down. The fact you have a decision to make rather than one that way decided by a lack of business proves my point. No, something more is goi...
