Monday Wake Up Call

Monday Wake Up Call: Your Motivation, Inspiration, & Direction for the Week Ahead

The Power to Make People Feel Special Halloween is just a week away! It’s so much fun to see kids all dressed up trick or treating. I love to see the cleverness of the costumes and what kind of spooky mischief some of the neighbors put into their house decorations. I remember as a child, some of the houses were especially scary, and feeling scared as we approached the door made it even better. We all remember what we feel far longer than what we see. A great quote about what we feel by Maya Angelou is, “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” This applies to all areas of life. Think back to your school days. Which teachers come to mind? The ones you remember are the ones who made you feel special! Something to Think About When you’re on a listing appointment, how do your clients “feel”? Do you place an equal amount of emphasis on the feeling they get, or is it just about the presentation? When you follow up with your clients after the sale, what is the feeling they get? Take some time this week to think about your presentation as well as your delivery. You know what they say: It’s all in the delivery! Weekly Challenge Each day this week, look for an opportunity to make someone feel special. There’s always, always a way to help make someone’s day. From client to family member to friend or even a total stranger, being the force that lifts people up in today’s sometimes chaotic and draining world can make all the difference.  Be a light in the world. The world needs more of that! Words of Wisdom “There is no exercise better for the heart than reaching down, and lifting people up.” – John Holmes “Those who are happiest are those who do the most for others.” – Booker T. Washington “Never underestimate the difference YOU can make in the lives of others. Step forward, reach out, and help. This week reach to someone that might need a lift.” – Pablo “Our legacy is not found in all the ‘stuff’ we’ve accumulated on our life’s journey. It’s written in the memories of those whose lives we’ve touched along the way.” – Justin Young “Who do you want to surround yourself with? People who can pull you up to their level of greatness? Or people who will happily pull you down to theirs?” – Dan Pearce
