A Testimonial


I just got back home from a four day visit with the Coach. It was so great to see him and hold his hand. The Coach gets "cooler" every year to his daughter. We talked for 4 days solid about life, business, his health, Faith, and many other topics. It struck me Sunday morning as we sat in church service (the early one as the Coach likes the casual setting) how faithful my Dad is.





George Moore, the Pastor at West Hills Church, asked if anyone wanted to share joys or concerns. The Coach stood up and proceeded to give his tesimonial of thanks to everyone. He said, "This morning I want to thank each of you for your prayers and support during my time of need. As I laid in the hospital not sure if I would make it or not (and not sure where I might end up LOL), I realized the power of my Faith. I told God I would do anything He asked of me, if He would spare my life. So, I stand in front of you to thank you and God for the blessings poured out to me and my family." There were tears in many eyes including my own. I was so proud to be the Coach's daughter!





My friends, today's lesson from the Coach's Daughter is... Be grateful and speak up. Wake up each morning with grace and hope in your heart. We are faced with negativity and hurt regularly, but we also are blessed with many seen and unseen circumstances. Are you grateful for your circumstances today? What is your silver lining today?



Call to action: Make your Gratitude List today. Try this everyday for one month. See how it makes you feel. Remember, "what comes out of your mouth will be."

How Important is Delegation?



According to dictionary.com, "delegation" means a body or group that represents the interests of another and thesaurus.com says "delegation" means assignment or appointment of responsibility. A great coach must know the difference and when to apply both meanings of the word.






My Dad, the Coach, would send a "delegation" to scout new players for his teams. He also "delegated" offensive, defensive, and special teams practice and planning to capable assistant coaches. The delegate that recruits is as important as the commitment to delegated responsibilities by assistant coaches!






So what's my point today...In real estate sales the successful professional must know who they can trust to be a delegate and who they can trust to delegate responsibilities. It requires a capable team in today's industry to accomplish everything our client needs to succeed in reaching their goals. You must have technology, education/training, marketing, business development, and risk reduction support from your team. This seems overwhelming when reading it right now, but a logical evaluation of your business and "delegation" should answer the question: Do I have the "Delegation" I need and the confidence to "Delegate" to them?






Today's Lesson from the Coach's Daughter is...Understand no person is an island. In order to succeed in real estate today, you must understand what delegation means. You must make strong business decisions about the team that supports you. As the leader of your real estate business, you must have confidence in yourself and your delegation! Not sure about this..Email me and we'll discuss it!




Call to action today: Make a list today. Who makes up your professional delegation and how do you delegate to them?
