Wow! Braiden, we are so proud and happy for you! We admire your courage and tenacity. Sounds like we have to tell the Tampa Bay Rays to keep an eye out for you.

Most of all, we are grateful you and your family have made such a miraculous recovery.

I Joined the Palm Harbor office and put a few brush strokes on the Mattie Williams Neighborhood Family Center. They did a fabulous job making baskets and painting the building.

Then had a treat at the HOPE Children’s Home. I Had lunch with the kids there, heard them sing some beautiful, heartfelt songs and turned the jump rope for them.

Our Tampa agents did a fabulous job sprucing up the cottages there and cleaning busses.

Then we topped it off with a visit at Clothes to Kids.  If you haven’t heard about this fabulous outreach, wow!  The Region teamed with Belleair, Tampa and Palm Harbor to deliver dozens of bags of clothes. The Clothes to Kids store provided wardrobes for over 12,000 Pinellas County kids last year. They’ll do another 13,000 this year!  They have a wonderfully warm store and I’m so proud to be associated with so many agents who made a difference in our communities today.

Truly put perspective on building Careers worth having, businesses worth owning and Lives worth living!

Nolan Bushnell, the inventor of Atari said,  “The critical ingredient is getting out of your chair and doing something.  It’s as simple as that.   A lot of people have ideas but there are few who decide to do something about them now.  Not tomorrow.  Not next week.  But today.   The true entrepreneur is a doer, not just a dreamer.”

Jeff spent most of his life working in the Healthcare field as a Respiratory Care Practitioner specializing in Neonatal Intensive Care. He also spent many years working in the Trauma unit, Emergency Department, non-invasive and invasive Cardiology services, and Neuro-services.  After 20+ years of adrenaline, Jeff decided to move into another role and manage multiple healthcare offices. He divided his time between the operations and sales management of Homecare, Hospice, and infusion companies.  Jeff’s last 10 years have been spent managing numerous teams across 6 states. He has always kept his Real Estate license active and knew that one day he would be able to pursue his dream of working in the Real Estate field full time.

Jeff’s guide and mentor in his Real Estate career was his mother, who was an accomplished Real Estate professional. She was influential in so many lives and helped bring the joy of home ownership to hundreds of families in the West Atlanta area. She also brought many people to the field of Real Estate over her years in the business. As the recipient of the Phoenix Award from the Board of Realtors in Atlanta, she was always doing her best to bring the joy of Real Estate to everyone she met.

I am glad that I now have the opportunity to continue in my mom’s footsteps. She would have been happy to have known that I finally made it to the career that she wanted me to pursue.It has been a long and winding journey that has brought me to this profession and to this time in my life. I hope to grow my business quickly so that I can have the love of my life, my wife Deb, join with me in the Real Estate profession. I look forward to working with the team at Keller Williams.

From all of us at Keller Williams, Welcome to the family Jeff!

The Annual Awards ceremony was wrapping up and there was great excitement because this year there was a BIG Giveaway. A new Ford Edge! The contest was trumpeted for months. Everyone was talking about it.

Before Any Great Success, People Usually Visualize It

When the announcement came, a roar went up from the right side of the room and bouncing out of the mass of humanity was a woman named Maria Pumilia. She had a fabulous black dress, her hand over her mouth. She was crying as much as laughing. Her excitement overwhelmed the room. Maria quickly flashed her cell phone to the person who’d announced her name. WOW!, I thought. I know this is your dream of a winner for a contest. Here’s what I didn’t know:

Maria flashed her cellphone because there was a picture of the New Ford Edge—with the words, “MY CAR” She said she’d prayed EVERY day for the car—because she needed it. Groups of agents had come into the market center each day saying how this was going to be Maria’s car. She submitted 573 postcard entries. She bought a brand new dress just for the awards, so she’d be well-dressed at the awards—and here’s the clincher. She had bought and paid for a ticket from Albuquerque to Orlando—for his sister—who flew in the next morning—-to drive the Ford Edge back home with Maria.

What success do you want to have this year? Can you see it? Remember, what you focus on Expands!

psst!
