Coco Jensen, Ninja Mom Of The Month August and September 2009
Coco, an agent in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, and I had a chance to chat recently about her success as an agent, using the Ninja systems and making it all work as a single working mom. Coco is so amazingly positive. Just the way she says hello when she picks up the phone is enough to…
Read MoreSometimes Doing Nothing May Be The Best Plan Of Action
I was chatting with a girlfriend the other day who is in the process of dissolving a business partnership that just hasn’t worked out. She was frustrated with having to spend additional money on attorneys fees and not getting anywhere with tying up all of the loose ends with her partner. So I started thinking, maybe the…
Read MoreGet The Word Out, Things ARE Selling!
I just sent out a postcard to my clients this last week and was literally amazed at the results. Not only did I get some great new business calls out of it, but some of the feedback showed me just how mis informed much of the public is regarding today’s market. My last 3 listings…

Yes, the spastic schedule of a Realtor can be a bit much at times, but when you really need it, being self employed is the ONLY way to go. Ryan, our 2 year old was sick and out of school the entire week last week. Taking a day off here or there for something is usually pretty…
Read MoreWhat Are Your Sources Of Income?
I have written before about the legs to your business and the importance of having multiple areas that you get your business from. But this is about OTHER sources of income. Gary and I just had the luxury of spending the entire weekend just the two of us! We have been away from the kids…
