Tim

Do you actually believe what you are writing or did you just run out of good ideas for the week?
Technology is achieving great stridesbto bring families closer together. Face time with my freshman in college. Instant messaging o share good grades with my son in high school. Sending video to grandparents the live out of state.
Today's technology let's you play at work and work when you are playing. The only reason I can go to a baseball gave at 4 in the afternoon is that I can newer email sand take call between innings.

And what you said about our population working to hard. Get a grip. Our population has given up work. I ll bet that not more than 20% give a damn about their jobs while the other 60% only put up enough effort to bring home the paycheck. The last 20% of course r unemployed. The last study I read is that the unemployed are spending on average 70 minutes A WEEK looking or a job.

Did you know that unemployed men over 50 have only a twenty. Percent chance of landing middle level and executive jobs because they are technologically challenged.

Got news for you Tim, you need to be advising more technology. The world is changing to quickly and those that don't wake up soon and push the envolope a little harder will neon food stamps and will not have to worry about their quality of life without an iphone. They won't be able to afford the monthly bill.

In my experience truth is especially important. For example, if the relationship is not going well, it means that you focus too much on the downside and you are not acknowledging the growth or the upside. This means there is no balance in your view of the relationship. When you regain the balance, you recognise your own truth and the relationship gets better again.

I designed a game called Rejection Therapy back in 2009 to encourage myself to get out of my comfort zone more. It was amazingly effective and enlightening (for as long as I did it).

If anyone wants to try it, it's here: http://rejectiontherapy.com

Great Post, Tim. Thanks. Maintaining control is important, and your list really helps me visualize a lot of ways that control can be lost. Maintaining control is important for salespeople and sales managers alike. Stay in control, stay strategic, and don't waste time on what doesn't work.

Re: Timing is everything

It's very frustrating when you've made appointments for the sellers to leave their home and that person who had to "see the home now" doesn't show or even call. Those type of people I peg as "tire kickers". However, the lack of respect for other people's time has become so common and shows the difficulty and need for patience in the sales field.

Re: Relationship Tips – Unconditional acceptance

Dave Cooke — Mon, 26 Apr 2010 11:15:17 -0000

Great post. The problem with most people when it comes to relationships is how they limit the potential because of the issues they create. I appreciate how you empower people to avoid creating these issues and embrace the opportunity and potential of diverse relationships.
