I am working a whole new level of dedication, but I don't mind slumming every once and awhile. Just can't live here.

Yep, I stopped engaging with the lowest paid person in the room and started paying attention to the highest paid and most experienced. I just don't have time to devote to educating the unwilling, there are far too many and they love group think.

We know you'll nevef have a different opinion, no amount of facts or evidence will ever cause you to change your mind from your preconceived notions. The second Al Gore was associated with global climate change you denied its validity, and everything from that point on has been evidence to defend your truth. That's all we ned to know about you. Meanwhile, some of us were skeptics but have since been won over by the science. You however, are like tge vast majority of Trump supporters, choosing to live your life on Dunning Kruger's Mt. Stupid and subjecting the rest of us to the consequences of your embraced ignorance.

Why? His followers think the same thing.

BTW, my wife is focring me to watch this horse**** and I need to vent. I hate this son of a **** and may he rot in hell from a quick natural death.

How in the hell does FSU leave him completely unguarded?!?! There wasn't anyone with 10 feet and no one moving to him. That's a shoot-around session 3-pointer. Unreal. This...at the D1 level is inexcuseable.

One week in still going strong. New paterns established this week: 1) up at 5am every day (normal was 7) use the time to plan my day and set my call list up. 2) In the office ready to start my calls at 8am weekdays. Because of this I've added two listings in the last week and have two more appointments set. I was primarily a Realtor who worked outside of the Lexington city limits (more rural) but two of my appointments are IN Lexington on properties that are above my target average sale. 3) drastic reduction in social media time. I haven't reached my goal of ONLY business related time, but I'm WAY closer than I was. 4) Trump can still kiss my ass, but he's not taking up my day like I was allowing. 5) This may sound counter to #3 but I am growing my social media audience. A month ago I was at 1,500 I've been steadily adding folks whom I share at least 15 mutuals and that live in my geographic area and today I've got 3,309 and counting. I know I don't know these people, but they become part of my market audience. My goal is by the end of the month to be at the 5,000 threshold. 6) I've also grown my business page from 75 to 262 likes, there are organic likes, and invites. MUCH slower than adding friends. 7) I turned of ALL social media notifications, no more push, no more red dots, no more catnip! I check soc media when I <---(that was supposed to be emphasized) choose to. 8. I've been following a pretty strict schedule of posting a variety of items, video talks which are getting a lot of views, recipes which are always popular, and some business. 9. I have a new call system that my coach showed me and it is cutting down on my excuses for "who do I call next". 10) one of the biggest things that is REALLY encouraging me is the full implementation of the 5 Second Rule. I'm doing and saying the things that I need to and I'm seeing the results. I'm not allowing the excuses to poison my thoughts and stall my momentum. 11) because of this I've been invited to participate in a mastermind group with other Tom Ferry (coaching) clients, I got the call yesterday from a young guy in Hawaii. Struggles: 1) yes I've been rejected, a guy told me to get off his steps, a few others have texted saying to take them off my list. So far no one has cussed me out, thank god I live in Kentucky. No matter how bad those sting, the thrill of success is greater. On the same night the guy told me off to my face I placed a folder at a house where the seller wasn't home and handed a card to her neighbor saying I was trying to reach her. She called me yesterday, we're meeting end of next month when she's ready to relist. The neighbor, he had a Realtor sign in his yard WITH a pending rider on it...he gave the seller MY card. And his agent is one of the "rockstars". 2) getting up and going is tough, NO ONE else is awake so it is all me to get rolling and stay focused. And I'm ready to crash at 10pm. Last night I saw that it was 8 and I had to wait two hours to go to bed. That's a first for a guy who usually crashes around 1am! 3) I've still got things on my "to-do" list and I know I'm going to get busier as my listings pile up. I've not focused on my team building yet, mostly because I'm securing my own oxygen first. 4) The videos are a reach for me, I'm not your cool slick GQ Realtor, I'm a big guy with not great hair and I'd 100% rather stay brhind the camera, but I'd doing it anyways and I'm getting more comfortable...slightly...each time. I simply remind myself that folks are going to see me anyways, they might as well get to know me apart from my headshot. So that's my update. See you next week!

I'm looking at that as pretty much step 2. Step 1 is get the house in order, get focused about the business again. Then refocus on the wealth building. Yes, one leads to the other but I need to secure the oxygen first, so to speak.

I've looked at some Bigger Pockets stuff, but that seemed more oriented toward investor info.

Oh, I'm a BIG note taker, like every meeting I'm taking notes but I'm always losing those pages etc. So, I bought myself for Christmas (and wrapped it) the Rocketbook. It is a reusable notebook that works with an app to scan and upload your notes. I write in it using a Pilot Frixion pen and then scan with the app and it automatically sends it to where ever I have indicated with the icons on the bottom of the page. I'm using OneNote now for most, but it'll send to GoogleDrive Evernote Dropbox OneNote OneDrive Trello Slack Box iCloud email or text It's pretty fricken cool and I can just scan my appointment notes, my idea notes, class notes, brain storming notes all into the cloud for safe keeping. Then when I'm done, simply wipe the pages down with a damp cloth and start over. https://www.amazon.com/Rocketbook-Everlast-Reusable-Notebook-Executive/dp/B06ZXWVZ3X/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1546540203&amp;sr=8-1-spons&amp;keywords=rocketbook&amp;psc=1

I heard Mel Robbins a couple years ago and read her book last year. I've sputtered with implementing the 5 Second Rule. I'm hardcore on it right now.

Thank you Burg! My eyes are firmly on my Why, it's for them that I'm doing this.

What's the saying? "Don't mistake my silence for acceptance." I just can't let his bull**** be my focus, I let that prick live rent free in my life for too damn long last year, I just evicted his lazy ass.

Real estate coach, through the Tom Ferry system. It's a big commitment but I'm aiming for a big ROI.

I'll stop in June! LoL!!! Thank you all for the encouragement!
