Now, in Lake Placid, the U.S. team turned the tables and stunned the Soviets with an improbable 4-3 victory.   I had the opportunity to see the captain of that team, Mike Eruzione, at the Keller Williams Family Reunion this week.

Eruzione scored the winning goal in that game which led to announcer Al Michaels now famous words, “Do you believe in Miracles?  Yes!” 

Eruzione shared a few principles that keyed this historic victory—and of course—they serve us well in real estate too.  

1. “I’ll be your coach but I won’t be your friend,” Coach Herb Brooks told the team when they were first assembled.   And he kept that promise for the rest of his life. Don’t we all need someone who will tell us the truth when we need to hear it?  Someone who cares enough to be candid when necessary?   A great coach or even peer partner can make a difference in your business and your life.
2. “If you don’t want to be part of this team, leave now,” Brooks also told them. It’s about commitment right?   How committed are you to your success in 2012?  Are you willing to do what it takes to be a champion in your business?
3. “Everyone on the team has to be on the same page,” Eurzione said of the hockey team’s success.   Is the real estate office you are in—in line to help you hit your goals?  Are they providing the tools and systems necessary for you to go for the Gold in 2012?   If not, how will you get there?

It won’t take a miracle, but it will take dedication through proven models and systems.   I’d love to help you and your family get there.  If you’d like to get to the next level in real estate, give me a call 727-772-5600.  Have a powerful and productive week.

The Business model creates an office that feels like a T-E-A-M.   Imagine a place where top agents don’t hesitate to jump in and help others if needed.   It’s an environment where everyone is treated like family.   That’s because it’s a true partnership.  It’s impossible for a market center owner to make money without associates having the chance to share in the profit.

So if you want to share, jump into the profit share program and you can make passive income.  You’ll get checks.   If you don’t want passive income and you want to learn how to earn more, that’s great too.  Either way you win!

Come join the family for a few days—-at the Family Reunion, beginning Feb. 11^th in Orlando.   Call today 727-772-5600 x23.

Eric and his wife Marie settled in the US from France 20 years ago and continue to have strong ties to the international market.  Their business views and the desire to help others closely match that of Keller Williams Realty.  He is looking forward to adding many Commercial agents to Keller Williams.

Her story will give you 7 things to think about:

1. She has earned over $50,000 in referral income from the event.
2. Nicole implemented the building blocks for her plan from concepts she heard at Family Reunion
3. She Spent 6 uninterrupted weeks in Europe on a family vacation.  Could that be you?
4. Nicole has more time off.
5. She has More Financial Security.
6. Ready for this?  She now expects to make almost another million dollars in just the next 12 months.
7. Think you should sign up?  What are you waiting for?

It’s coming to Orlando February 11th!

Sign up today! Come meet the Family!  We’d love to see you there!

Likewise, the Keller Williams Family Reunion is played once a year, and its location varies.  This February 2012, the Reunion is coming to Orlando, Florida and YOU are invited!  Yes, all real estate agents, with any company, are warmly invited to share in this amazing event, to experience the culture, training and group spirit KW has to offer.

Let’s talk about your odds for the real estate game:

The NAR profile of home buyers and sellers reveals what motivates most people in their choice of a Real Estate agent.   48% of buyers and 64% of sellers say they choose a realtor because of a referral or personal contact from a friend, neighbor or relative. Less than 4% choose you because of a well-known company name.  You see, YOU are the brand and YOU are number one!

That’s why the family reunion is focused on developing marketing techniques, REO Strategies and Technology to build YOUR BRAND. Why Gary Keller himself will be there to share his vision for 2012 and how YOU can take advantage of the market. Don’t miss this opportunity!

Do you have a plan to give them the right training?  Do you know how to hold them accountable?  Can you keep them focused and on track?

Let’s say you do.  And they knock it out of the park.   Will they stay with your business?   Do you know how to lead them?  Do you know what motivates them?

If not, you’ll one day find they’ve left to find some gold of their own!

There is a predictable, duplicateable way to nurture and grow great talent!  A way to help them get what they want at the same time  you’re  getting what you want.   If fact, we’ll be teaching the system to kick off the year in 2012.

Did you make the money you wanted this year?   A lot of real estate agents did.   Our agents in South Florida have put over 11 Million dollars MORE in commissions in their pockets during 2011!   The ones I know had 2 things in common.

1. They had a business plan.
2. They committed to doing what it takes to make it happen.

Some committed to farming.  Some did open houses.  Another worked his database.   They’re all celebrating the joy of providing the things they wanted this year for themselves and their families.

Think about it.  You wouldn’t take a summer vacation without a GPS to get you there.   You wouldn’t make a holiday meal without the right recipe.  Your business plan IS your recipe.  It’s your GPS for success.

What didn’t you get to do this year, because you didn’t make the money you needed to do it?   Why go another year without it?

The new year, 2012, holds lots of hope.  Why not have a plan and turn that hope into a reality?   I saw an agent go from 1 million to 2 million in sales this past year.  Another went from 2 million to 5 million.   Yet another from 9 million to over 20 million in sales!    They all started with a plan to get there.   You can too.

I’d be happy to point you in the right direction with no obligation.  It’s what I do for agents who want to go to the next level.   Just give me a call at 727-772-5600  or e mail me at Olesh@kw.com
