Good Morning,

Jim Urban posted this message on the board today. If you are doing the Finding, Getting and Selling Listing Program read this.

Message....

New realization for me in this program (now that I am 8 months into it) that I thought everyone would love to hear about:

1) First of all, I send out to 1300 homes in a good 7 to 8% turnover rate which is good for my area.

2) I got the feeling that we were mostly just suppose to wait to start getting people calling in after they responded and started getting our monthly stuff.

3) Since I am not doing a mega 9000+ post cards or some big amount like this I realized every response was a result of money and time I was investing in this program.

Good Morning,

You've heard me say, “What you think about you talk about, and what you talk about is what you bring about.”

Well, what happens when you get disempowering and distracting thoughts?

The truth is – not much.

Experience shows that disempowering and distracting thoughts will pass on their own – unless we do something with them.

So for example, I have a thought that says, "This is a tough market right now."  I can simply let that go and let the next thought come up, or I can have a thought about that thought.  For example, I can have a thought that says, "This is a tough market; I’m going to go over to CNN and see what happened to the market today, and find out what the unemployment numbers are for this quarter."

A good way to say it:  It is not our actual thoughts that get us in trouble, but it is our thoughts about our thought that get us into trouble.

Good Morning,

Yesterday I found myself in a conversation with Curt, saying to myself as he was talking, "I know, I know."

After the conversation I felt uneasy and somewhat empty.

I got quiet, cleared my mind, and asked the wiser part of me what this uneasy feeling was all about.

The immediate insight I got was that when I say to myself or others the words "I know," I cut off the possibilities for something new and wonderful to occur.

Then the insight came to me that a powerful mindset I can have in any situation is "I don't know," because it actually opens me up to new insight and awareness.

In my experience, my life changes when I change my thinking and my thinking changes when I have new insight, and I get new insight when I approach life with the mindset "I don’t know" versus "I know."

Today I choose to imagine getting more curious about what I don’t know.

On Your Team

Good Morning,

Everyone wants to be accepted, don’t we? That’s at the core for all of us; I want you to accept me, like me, and not reject me.

When you avoid asking for anything, you avoid rejection. When you ask for an introduction and the person says they don’t know anyone, they’re not saying they don’t know anyone forever. What they are saying is,” I don’t know anyone right now.” It’s not a personal attack or a rejection.

What happens when you imagine yourself reprogramming your unconscious by using these simple affirmations just a few times each day for the next few months?

Magic Words
I choose to let go of the outcome and get attached to changing my behavior. Every time I ask for an introduction or Plant a Referral Seed, I have a small victory. My victory is about my behavior, not my results. Imagine how good you’re going to feel once you’ve permanently adopted this behavior.

There seems to be a constant visiting dynamic in all stages of life.  It appears that we only get the girl, the guy, the work, the job, the sense of self, or a participation in a wider creation, that we actually feel we are worthy of.

If we don’t feel we deserve it, like a spendthrift heiress throwing her patrimony to the wind we do our best to sabotage and we give away what we did not feel we deserved in the first place.
