Laughing

I always get a big laugh out of the top _____what ever lists with real estate blogs on them.  There is a new one made by someone I never heard of using some unknown criteria.  Geek Realtors  The list is a hodge pod of local real estate blogs like St. Paul Re, national multi author blogs like Agent Genius, and blogs that are not real estate blogs, like the real estate tomato.

It seems that this bad blog cleverly disguised as a hot dog stand made the list.  We did win our very first award when we were not even a day old, so it figures that another one would come along eventually. 

Real estate bloggers take these lists very seriously.  I am sure who ever made it looked at all real estate blogs and even though I never heard of the Geek Realtors blog I am sure they are experts on the topic.  I am enjoying the chatter about it on the internet.

I am always looking for guest authors so if any readers out there would like to write on an award winning blog, be my guest.

Drinking and blogging

I highly recommend drinking while blogging. 

From IntoTheBoxTV   Rachel Natalie Klein is the founder of into TheBox tv.  She is one crazy lady.  I am not sure she expected me to endorse drinking while blogging.  Beer for bloggers is held the night before the Inman blogger connect conference begins.  It really does help us do a better job when we speak at the conference.  The event was sponsored by Zillow.  By putting a link to Zillow on this blog I can expect a visit from Drew Meyers or David Gibbons, so I would like to say that I had a great time at beer for bloggers gents, see you on the net. ;) 

Does Any One Know?

Do any of us really know who Todd Carpenter, if that is his real name, really is?

T no Fake GS

So sorry to disappoint but I am not the fake Greg Swann.  I have received a couple of emails suggesting that I might be.  If you think about it a bit you will know that I am telling the truth.

I may have the imagination required to pull such a stunt but I really don't have time, or the desire.  If I did have the time  I would rather be the fake Joe Ferrara  , Jim Cronin or maybe Joel Burslem.  Not sure I could be the fake Todd Carpenter.  Could we handle two Todd Carpenters?  Should I give it a try?  Nah

Business Goals

Wow!  isn't that a riveting title for a blog post.  I am thinking people will see that in their reader and just come flocking on over. It is that time of year again.  The business plan for 2008 is done. After all how can we ever achieve our goals with out a plan?   As part of my planning process I review last years goals.  Lucky for me I wrote a blog post about it so I have them handy for reveiw:

Business Goals

Goals should be stated in positive terms and start with phrases like I will.  In my case that won't work because I am kind of a work in progress.  I am going to focus on three things that I won't do this year:

1. When I get ticked off at one of my neighbors I will not have a for sale sign put in front of their house.  I will use my words instead of my sign vendors to settle all future disputes.
2. I will not answer my email while I am driving if I have clients in the car even though it has been an effective way to narrow down the number of homes they want to see.
3. I will only put my electronic lock box on a sellers door after they sign a contract with me.

Personal Goals

I can use positive terms because personal goals are just different:

1. I be will kinder to myself but continue treating others with the utmost disrespect as I so often do.
2. Every Wednesday from 1:00 to 2:00 PM I will be nice, and kind and good and deport myself like the lady that I was raised to be, no f-ingheimers from me no sir!
3. I will only write the truth, the honest truth on my blog even if I have to make it up.
   

My goal planning is easy for 2008.  I was unable to reach most of the goals listed above so I will try a again.  Do you have some lofty goals for 2008 that you would like to share?
