    Don't "try". Tell yourself, "Next," and move on through your day. Practice, practice, practice on your next contact. There are always more people in the world to talk to. Just do it -- person after person -- moment after moment -- day after day!

    Use your mouth and ears in the ratio God gave them to you. Listen twice as much as you talk. And when you do talk, ask open- ended questions. Get the other person talking while you really, really, really listen with your whole heart to what they are saying. And that is the biggest secret to...

    I started out very shy and scared of people. I cried straight through the first 3 months I was a RE salesman. I was in my early 20s, and I didn't know how to talk to others. That was 50 years ago. I learned through selling how to be a people person. When I was selling, I kept stats on my...

    Fear of what? The worst thing they can say back to you is "No." I'm sure that has happened to you at some time in your life before this week. Some people actually try to get their prospect to say no. They see it as an opportunity to make the sale. There are books on that issue.

    OUR PROGRESS: We’re working on our new project. The weather has been radical. We had driving rains, a couple of heavy snowstorms, followed by more heavy rain. So, we’re working mostly inside. On drier days, we are burning scrap wood and cleaning up the piles of old building materials. We’re...

    Sure, you can opt out. Shrug your shoulders. Change the subject. Say something off the wall. You've got two feet. Take a walk. Tell a joke. It's your mouth. You have total control of what comes out of it. How you react is totally your choice and your responsibility. Use your personal power for...

    Why tell him anything? He's not listening or willing to do what it takes to work himself out of his situation. If you say anything, his failure will be all your fault. He's not looking for help. He's looking for someone to blame. This is a moment that you cannot win. You'll lose no matter what...

    I also have one. I cook in it all the time. I just throw in the ingredients and turn it on. It's a wonderful little piece of equipment.

    It leaves gaps and nitches for the little guy to fill. It's always been that way. The big guys are a lot more limited than the little guys, who are nimble on their feet.

    Real estate is a long-haul business. Day trading is just the opposite. The reason I do real estate is for my basic income. I buy stocks for the fun of it. I have control over my real estate deals and properties. I buy when I find a good deal with good cash flow or a hefty upside. It's not...

    The #1 Threat to Your Success is Internal...

    NEWSLETTER 
    The admiration part, I was thinking of the guy who breaks out of the pack and becomes obviously more successful than others. The group tries to pull him back down to their level. They undermine him, make fun of him, and shun him if he continues in his success. They either must reject him or...

    I had serious health problems when I was young. Those problems made me live a very conservative life -- so I could and would live to see today. I don't drink, smoke, or take ANYTHING. I don't drink sodas or coffee. I stick to lots of water or tea. I cook good meals from scratch every day, like...

    The #1 Threat to Your Success is Internal...

    NEWSLETTER 
    I used to share your assumption that others do know. I have found that they really don't know or believe that they can do better. It's a mental trick where they assign a high difficulty rating to the task -- to give themselves a way out. Therefore, they don't have to try because they already...

    I don't think it's the number of steps or reps -- more importantly, it is the rating of difficulty we assign to a task. That rating includes the effort and resources we plan to put into that item, and how long it's gonna take us to complete it. We pace ourselves by rating where we are in the...
