Your List of Unfinished ProjectsHow many projects have you started . . . and not (yet) finished? Why haven’t you taken the time to complete them? When will you get around to finishing them? Were they important to you when you started them? Are they less important now because they’re less exciting than they were upon conception? How do you feel every time you notice you have not finished these things? Do you kick yourself and think: “I really SHOULD finish that . . . one day”? Everything on this list is CLUTTER in your life. It’s distracting and detrimental to your productivity. This list is a terrorist in your mind holding a share of your mind hostage with the ransom of paying attention and committing to take the time to FINISH! You’re shoulding on yourself, and that’s not OK! If the un... 05/11/2020

Confidence in your power withinThe best coaches are those who have mastered the art of “Tough Love” They “teach” us how to fish instead of giving us a fish. It’s kinda like an “Intel Inside” thing . . . Humming along inside while being always present and invisible above the surface. I have the word “Strategist” in my email signature block for a reason. I believe that all people have within them everything they need to do whatever needs to be done. It’s already baked in at birth. As a Coach/Mentor/Principal, the most egregious thing I could possibly do TO anyone asking my advice is to “should on them.” When I consult with Home Buyers and Sellers and offer perspective and possible paths to moving things forward, I am VERY careful not to usurp my clients’ individual power by daring to ente... 05/08/2020

Nashville’s GuardiansI have a LOT of respect for Metropolitan Nashville Police Department. Nashville’s Finest serve and protect us Nashvillians ’round the clock and accept the possibility of personal harm and even the “ultimate Sacrifice” of death in the line of duty. On all of their vehicles, you’ll find “Nashville’s Guardians” subtly emblazoned on the fender. These fine Men and Women care deeply about maintaining law and order and the SAFETY of all of our citizens from the myriad ways we can be harmed by criminals aplenty. I believe Realtors are also “Guardians” of the rights of Home Owners, Buyers, Sellers, Landlords, Tenants, Investors and these Licensed Real Estate Sales Professionals are indefatigable when it comes to “policing our own” as we self-enforce our Realtor code of Ethic... 05/06/2020

Ain’t Nothin’ but a Thang!Storms happen! Nashville got walloped yesterday afternoon and early this morning!WHEW! STRONG storms with crazy wind gusts that toppled trees and hurled pretty much everything that wasn’t anchored to the ground. This is a different kind of event than the tornadoes we experienced not long ago. A storm like this one affects MORE people because the damage is more widespread. Power outages throughout the city add yet another challenge during these already tumultuous times . . . and we did what we do . . . We called, texted, emailed, facebooked all of those folks close to us – Friends and Family to make sure everyone is OK. I slept through the 2 AM performance and woke up to a flurry of text messages checking on Owen Hollow – No trees down, and I didn’t lose power. ... 05/04/2020

Every day this week . . . I have witnessed amazing good will and generosity emanating from SO many people helping people through these “scary and uncertain times.” Each day, as the members of Pareto Realty selflessly serve their friends, family, clients and each other. This is a steady flow Herculean feats to pull off “the Impossible” in an environment that is morphing by the hour. NOTHING is as it was last year, month, week, day . . . and yet these consummate Real Estate Sales Professionals are like mice in a maze not to get the cheese for themselves but to get it for all the people in their lives who they SERVE. I felt compelled to validate their contributions to humanity with the following “Closing of the Week” message. I hope that you, too, will observe others around you doing good ... 05/01/2020

Yesterday, Denise emailed this comment to all of the agents of Pareto Realty.  “Congrats everyone! A lot of Paretozoans are doing business.  I haven’t heard from other companies doing as much!”   She’s right on! I’ve been talking with a LOT of Principal Brokers EVERY day. I do this because I don’t want some aberrant  trend to shift and miss out on an opportunity for us.Our Pareto Realty Culture is one “DOING” whatever it takes to serve as many home Buyers and Sellers throughout Middle Tennessee even when it’d be easier (and safer) to stay on the couch. THIS is what differentiates us from most others. We are better than 80/20 My suspicion is that less than @ 5% of the Realtors in Middle Tennessee are intentionally doing business every day. Not that you need it, but this is one of the rea... 04/28/2020

YOU are Invited! Every MONDAY @11 AM CDT - join our Realtor Pandemic conversation Realtors conspiring to create an AMAZING Post-Covid19 Real Estate Market https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJUrdOytqzwoH9dySo4PfjroMfCtPA7lnw1e It seems that, for many of people in my current Circle, there’s much wonderment about what’s to come. There’s a theme I’m sensing rising to the surface in most conversations. It’s a movement away from the long-time discipline of the mandated, highly structured, time-blocked, busyness that we’ve practiced for generations often known as “A good day’s work at the office!” There’s a rebellion brewing. Ordinarily “responsible” workers have been forced to LEAVE their office environments and work from HOME, and while this arrangement was difficult to grasp initiall... 04/27/2020

As the expiration of the statewide “Stay at home order” will expire April 30 here in Tennessee, I sense some excitement from lots of folks with expectations that things will now shift significantly upon the dawning of May 1. I know this is not reality, and I believe there are many people who will remain in panic because they are in “Survival Mode” and are too proud to ask for help to put food on their tables and keep roofs over their heads. Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. There’s already talk of a new (2nd) wave of covid that’ll be more robust than this one . . . arriving within 3ish months . . . just enough time for many people to right their ships only to face another horrendous storm. Of course, none of this may happen – no one knows . . . but we’ve learned (I hope) that preparedness fo... 04/22/2020

The bootstrapper creates value Seth Godin‘s timing for this message is SPOT ON! “One of the most powerful things you can do is build a useful business. An enterprise of value, doing work of substance, filling a need and finding independence.” And to do it without raising money from a bank or waiting in line for a venture capitalist to smile at you is where freedom can be found.“ When the Federal Government started giving free money, I noticed many of my fellow entrepreneurs, Independent Contractors, and Small Business Owners suddenly develop amnesia regarding how they built their businesses from scratch for all these years. Blood – Sweat – Tears – Sleepless Nights – Making high stakes decisions with grit and determination – Like a mouse in a maze in search of that CHEESE. No obstacle wa... 04/21/2020

Call me crazy . . . but I think NOW is the PERFECT time to begin the oh-so-important of imagining how we Realtors can exemplify the “Phoenix Rising” of our Real Estate Market post-covid. I believe that we can manifest just about anything we can imagine and that WE hold the cards . . . We have fantastic opportunities ahead, AND it will be OUR responsibility to SEIZE and EXPLOIT every avenue available to create a market that’s better than before. You are invited to participate in a weekly think-tank Zoom meeting.This will be a conversation (not a webinar) – Your voice WILL be heard Dare journey with us on this dangerous expedition as we intrepid Realtors conspire to create an AMAZING Post-Covid19 Middle TN Real Estate Market Will you join our collective brain-trust?  We will be the “Skunk... 04/16/2020

Let’s keep our priorities top of mind! For most people, consistency of checking in with close friends and Family is a natural happening. Why? We do this because we LOVE them, and we genuinely care about their well-being. Just as with everything (Houses and Automobiles), we need “regularly scheduled maintenance” of all of the systems that comprise our HOS (Human Operating System) else they naturally fall into disrepair. When disturbances such as Natural disasters and dastardly Viri, throw us “off our game” resulting in obliteration of any semblance of “routine”, we tend to “circle our wagons” and shut DOWN. We retreat within . . . It’s time like these when we serve ourselves best by directing direct focus on the things that matter most for our personal well-being Spiritual – Mental – Phy... 04/10/2020

Does anyone know when the quarantine will be lifted? Is Anybody Out there? What will we do between now and that moment of hearing the savory news that we are “ALL CLEAR” to leave our confines? Is it possible to make yourself useful? Well . . . We can get ready to get ready to re-launch our businesses! We can spend this gift of time to improve our processes. We can build our “book of business” by reaching out to all the folks in in the world who might be contemplating taking advantage of our professional services . . . Perhaps we lean towards optimism and pick a date in the future to begin scheduling appointments? Of course, the date we pick may be too soon or not soon enough, but we’ll have some new knowledge of new business on the horizon. My suspicion is that the mass of folks are liv... 04/08/2020

I’ve noticed that“Uncertain Times” is the preferred media title for this pickle we’re in. It’s almost as if there’s something different going on. My observation of the world during my lifetime has always been best described as “Uncertain Times”. While studying the variety of “origin stories” while in School, it seems that ALL times have been uncertain. History reports troubling happenings replete with things like ” UNIVERSE BIG BANG” – Self-organizing matter mystically creating life on this planet – God creating all that is – The appearance of animals and humans and vegetation – civil unrest – Natural disasters – WARs aplenty – Famines – Plagues – Political unrest” . . . all leading to my primary question: When has there EVER been anything akin to “Certain Times”? Times when everything ... 04/07/2020

You’re Invited: Optimizing YourSelfOur Theme:Living your unique purpose Let’s make lemonade with these lemons . . . Re-creating (y)our SELF on purpose as we practice quarantine The covid-19 virus has imposed upon us a sabbatical.What if we were to use this “opportunity” to work on our SELF?How can we (YOU) improve (y)our way of living? I believe we can all re-create ourselves during this time of quarantine such that, when we regain our freedom to physically congregate, we will be able to do so with a better overall quality of life. Having been forced to pause our frenetic life-styles, let’s use this mandated siesta to re-program priorities such that we live in FLOW rather than “in URGENT?” You are invited to this 5 day ZOOM expedition to explore issues and opportunities relating to our ... 04/06/2020

Call it whatever you want . . . Lead Generating Connecting Wellness Check-in Follow up Good will ambassador In times like this, hearing “I was just thinking about you” can LITERALLY be a life-saver. Perhaps you’re thinking about what you “should” say. My response to this is: “as little as possible” . . . With genuine empathy, a good start is something simple . . . “How are you doing with all of this craziness?” No script would do this call any justice – Just listen and be present for as long as this person needs. Validate their feelings and assure them that, while they are physically isolated, this is a temporary condition and that you are here for them. What fears are present? Physically SMILE throughout EVERY call – It’s contagious! “It’s not what you say, it’s how you make them feel”... 04/02/2020

The Lead Did Not Follow UpIf you are “in sales” and you have an expectation of immediate gratification follow initial contact with a lead, I recommend you find a different career. But then . . . Here’s the crux of the problem . . . It’s arguable that ALL of us are “in sales” We are “selling ourselves” – who we are – what we do – when – how – to those we serve. So – Sales person – How DARE you expect your prospect to follow up with you? This egomaniacal approach is a recipe for Skinny kids. WAKE UP! Your job is simple and to the point. Meet as many of the right people you can each and every day. “Right people” are ALL of the humans who want or need this service or product you’re peddling . . . AND/OR . . . well connected humans who might know other people (Family, friends, work associate... 04/01/2020

 Well . . . Seems COVID-19 is hitting the reset button for most of the world. What’s most eerie about this for me is the deafening absence of any signs of CHAOS. We’re all in our “Safe Places” . . . taking shelter from an enigmatically pesky little virus fabled to have been unleashed by a vendor at a Marketplace in the Chinese City of Wuhan. The agility and creativity of this virus is nothing short of mind-boggling for ALL of the “experts” . . . As time passes, it morphs – Seems to behave differently in different places. While it appears to be particularly lethal for frail elderly folks and/or people with “compromised” immune systems, it strikes down some people who, by all medical standards, are as healthy as oxen. Our best game plan is a DEFENSIVE approach. The focus is to deny as man... 03/31/2020

Making Lemonade with these LemonsFor the past few weeks, I’ve been VERY busy talking Realtors “off the ledge” as the reality of the COVID19 “LOCKDOWN” sets in.  The world is NOT going to end! This WILL pass! NOW is the best time EVER to crank up the volume in terms of reaching out to your family, friends, acquaintances, current and former clients, new and old leads and prospects.Believe it or not, most of the people you know are VERY interested in how this pandemic is affecting the Real Estate market. The stability of Our industry is important in ALL kinds of economic climates.  After all, we’re ALL in the same “quarantine,” albeit in our own abodes. Let’s shift perspective and find some GOOD possibilities. Within your communication with your peeps, put on your Doctor/Patient bedside ma... 03/26/2020
