Team Linn
Well here we are Team Linn. Next year September 2010 My wife Susan, daughter Candace and myself are going to do the Sprint Triathlon in Carpenteria beach. We watched this year, oh my goodness what have I committed myself for? Swim in the ocean at 6:00am .5m, 10k bike ride and if that's not enough 5k run or probably for me a crawl. Lord help us!Thursday, September 24, 2009
Big Ideas
Big ideas can be intimidating, but even your biggest and most daunting goal can be achieved if you simply break it up into bite-sized chunks.
Struggling author Joseph Heller composed his best-selling book "Catch-22" by writing little chunks in one or two hours every day before work. Imagine what you could accomplish by applying the same principle to one or more of your biggest goals over the next five years.
Remember: the sum total of a lot of little efforts isnt so little.

Words to Live By
Today I stayed home from work feeling a little blue. Opened my e-mail from someone from work who I don't talk to all that often. He passed the following on to me, he thinks it might have been from Tony Robbins. I hope that the words below help you find some peace and build a relationship whether it be business or personal and takes you to the next level. Thank you to Scott Copper for sending this to me.
ONE. Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully.
TWO. Marry a man/woman you love to talk to. As you get older, their conversational skills will
be as important as any other.
Three...Don't believe all you hear, spend all your have or sleep all you want.
Four.....When you say "I Love You" mean it.
Five.....When you say " I"m sorry" look the person in the eye.
Six.......Be engaged at least six months before you get married.
Seven..Believe in love at first sight.
Eight....Never laugh at any ones dream. People who don't have dreams don't have much.
Nine.....Love deeply and passionately. you might get hurt but it is the only way to live life
completely.
Ten.......In disagreements, fight fairly. No name calling.
11..........Don't judge people by their relatives.
12.........When someone asks you a question you don't want to answer, smile and ask, "why do you want to know?
13........Talk slowly but think quickly.
14........Remember that great love and great achievements involve great risk.
15........Say bless you when you hear someone sneeze.
16........When you lose,don't lose the lesson.
17........Remember the three R's: Respect for self, Respect for others,and Responsibility for all your actions.
18.......Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship.
19.......When you realize you have made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it.
20......Smile when picking up the phone.
Number 17 if everyone could do this one... My favorite
Thanks again Scott and Tony Robbins

Famous People bahaving badly
What is with the rich and famous? Does too much money and fame makes them go stupid? what do you think of when you here these names ? Mel Gibson,Hugh Grant, Jon Gosselin,Serena Williams,Rep. Joe Wilson, Kanya West just to name a few. You should think Famous and talented actors, Great female sports figure, outstanding politician, Great father, talented musician. No the words that probably come to mind spoiled actors,racist, cheater,bad sportsman, no manners, person who does not respect other people.
When as a society are we going to say enough is enough? Lets quit airing every ones dirty laundry. Lets stop buying into it. Stop buying the trash magazines, watching the bad shows, quit paying these people until they know how to act like everyone else. We don't let our children get away with this why do we let them.
Jon Gosselin, ok we get it you don't love Kate anymore but you have 8 kids man up do whats right quit whoring around and do the right thing. Serena Williams really? You are a great tennis star, lots of little girls love you and you act like a fool as the World watches, shame on you. You need a time out, go help some children that don't have what you have. Rep. Joe Wilson you are old enough to be able to hold that tongue of yours. you don't have to like the President but remember he is the President and he deserves respect. Sounds like you need to be off the floor and work in a veterans home,hospital and earn that money you are getting from we the people. And last but not least Kanya West your performance on the VMA'S last night do you think your mother would be proud of that. You need to have an old fashion spanking with the belt and work with foster kids or children from domestic violence shelters. And remember that same ladder you went up stepping on people will be the same one you will come down or fall from.

Realities of Social Networking
You have your face on facebook you linked in and have even found that tweeting on twitter is not for the birds.
In the Sept. issue of Realtor Magazine you will find the Six realities of Doing business on the Social Web, written by Brian Summerfeild. I am going to give just brief highlights of the six realities go to www.realtor.org or pick up an issue of Realtor Magazine and get the full story on Connections Made. Now What? Six Realities of Doing business on the Social Web.
Reality 1
You have to be a great agent first. One of the biggest mistakes the real estate professional makes is thinking the simple act of creating a web presence through a blog, Facebook, Twitter, or a fancy web site. will in itself bring new business. Matt Dollinger a real estate performance coach says "If your not a great agent, don't worry about social media right now. Its not the silver bullet for your business". Bad agents will not be able to fake it on the web.
Reality 2
Using social media is like riding a bull. getting on is the easy part. creating a strong following on Twitter, facebook and other sites requires a big time commitment.
Reality 3
You don't have to be a tech. wiz to participate
Reality 4
The web is in constant flux. You have to keep up with it. Twitter for example a couple of years ago was practically unknown but today gets about 55 million visits every month.
Reality 5
You cant fake it. you should be the same person on these social media's that you are in your everyday face to face interactions.
Reality 6
The web is so much more than a prospecting tool. By understanding consumers and interacting with them online, you can generate business using what Dollinger terms " the law of attraction" that is, pulling clients to you by sharing valuable information, rather than the more traditional strategy of pushing yourself out to them.
There is more to these 6 realities, go to www.realtor.org or get a copy of the Sept issue of realtor Magazine.
This is a great article has some good info on social media.
