If you have the chance to talk to Dan Green, do it. Period. Wherever/whenever he summons you. I got the call one Monday morning not too long ago. He happened to be in Westerville not long ago to speak to the Real Living people about being a superstar blogger.
Since he gets DEALS out of his blog, hey, he’s qualified. Major kudos to Harley Rouda, JR and company for getting him to show up and talk. While I’m talking about Harley, I’ll say that Harley should can his relationship with his in house lender. It may make you some money, but it costs you transactions and destroys your culture. But I digress.
I learned about his business and talked too much while we had a cup of coffee at the church of St. Arbucks (a pleasure I rarely get these days, and sadly, don’t miss). He was selling me on the benefits of the Salesforce-driven MyLoanBiz, and he got me really curious.
Anyway, I was sharing with him the Survival/Thrival Guide’s takeoff and I was a little bit sheepish about it. I rolled my eyes…still in a little bit of shock that cool people like Tom, Tony, and Brian said nice things about me.
Quicker than a jab from Sugar Ray Leonard, he said, “No. Don’t do that. If you don’t believe, nobody else will…if you think it’s stupid, don’t do it.”
OKfine. He’s right, of course. I don’t think what I’m doing IS stupid. I do think 25 million dollar producers can become 30 million dollar producers by using it (or become 15 million dollar producers that work 10-12 hours a week, the path that I dig, cause I got me some new peak experiences).]
Not Quite Damascus, But the Combined Impact?
That moment may not have been an epiphany on the road to Damascus, but it was maybe like the first time you ‘get’ Dylan. You can’t ever doubt yourself–because when you do, everyone else will too
Between him telling me to believe, and Gregg Swann telling me to cultivate indifference…I’ve got a lot of insulation from the idiots zealots and losers. And that’s the reason to stick around the RE net. Spend less time thinking stupid and un productive thoughts.
But what to do with the cognitive surplus that remains from not working on getting the approbation of dimwits?
I’m sure I’ll think of something.
….
You’ll see the sidebar has changed. Note that I’m doing a call next Thursday. It promises to kick ass.
