Houston Real Estate Rainmaker and Uberproud Father/Husband (not necessarily in that order). When I'm not skinning cats or changing diapers you can find me on Twitter or Facebook. I blog about marketing, social media and real estate. I might not always be in agreement, but you can rest assured I'll be honest. Oh, and I can cook a mean breakfast...

    very true, more than one way to skin a cat, or bake a cake or do Social Media.

    Who’s going to shut up, too. Great points Erion – we have two ears and one mouth for a reason….

    It’s hard to listen. Listen. Listen. Listen. Now more than ever, we have to realize that change and new and flexibility and maneuverability and a willingness to change/morph/reinvent is key to long term success. You can’t stay the same while everything around you changes, therefore, open mind wide for new ideas.

    Cheers.

    Erion – Call me bold and brash and stupid, but I don’t agree that experience always matters. Of course, I agree with it how I guess you probably mean it, as in experiences are those things that we’ve learned from, built upon, and used to benefit ourselves and our knowledge.

    Unfortunately, I see too many “experienced” agents who rely on one thing and one thing only – how many years they’ve been in the business (their experience). Although in many cases, these are agents with more knowledge, skills, and ideas than most. However, in many cases as well, I find years=nothing.

    Perhaps I take slight offense to it as an agent who hasn’t been in the business for 50 billion years, as I know that some people see that as a disadvantage for hiring me. Of course, I know that I know enough to solve the problems and where to get the answers to those I don’t, so I know that I can be a great agent. I also know when to say “no” and “I don’t know.”

    Great post as always and I think you know me – I love the debate. I also go into each one with a very open mind.

    Clearly, I’m such a girl. Had to Google ‘500-hp twin turbo’. :)

    But, I hear you. I think that we are in the midst of so many changes, across so many industries. And if you are engaged in this forum, you feel it in a more magnified way. You have to be open. There is little that I find that is not in some form of flux.

    And since I was 16 – when I was most convinced I knew it all – I’ve slowly, year by year, learned there just may be a kernel of truth in every point of view if I’m open.
