That title is an attention getter isn’t it?\u00a0 Too bad it’s not accurate… but hey, if I had said “The Secret to Tripling or even Quadrupling Your Real Estate Business” you probably would have written it off as so much hype, right?\u00a0 So I dumbed it down… hope you don’t mind.<\/p>\n

This started as a comment\u00a0to a recent post here about the MLS, the mafia and NAR goons<\/a>…\u00a0a provocative subject matter, yes? Maybe too provocative for some, and more’s the pity because what lies behind it is nothing less than a beacon – a lighthouse in a stormy sea – that you probably don’t even know you need.\u00a0 I know I didn’t…\u00a0 But if you really want to double (or triple or quadruple) your business in 2012, you won’t get there sailing the same old boat around the safety of the same old harbor (the definition of insanity and all that).\u00a0\u00a0 You’ll have to get out there in the great unknown: you’ll have to get a little lost;\u00a0and you’ll have to be willing to trust\u00a0that far away beam of light from that far away lighthouse that you never noticed on the horizon before.<\/p>\n

This lighthouse has a little plaque over the door.\u00a0 It reads: BLOODHOUND UNCHAINED.\u00a0 It should probably read: Omnes relinquite spes, o vos intrantes<\/em>.\u00a0 For\u00a0those unfamiliar with Dante and\/or Latin, this will make sense by the end of the article. (Much like the title, that’s a teaser that I hope will keep you reading… the career you save might be your own.)<\/p>\n

In the post linked above, the author said: “The leap is the risk of losing your religion<\/em>.”<\/p>\n

That statement is more powerful than most can imagine. I was fortunate enough to be at\u00a0Unchained in Orlando, and again in Phoenix.\u00a0\u00a0I came in with pre-conceived ideas\u00a0about what I would learn, and maybe what I could share. I left with a new left arm… not literally, of course, but for how dramatic the change (and the challenge) can be, it might as well have been.<\/p>\n

The problem, of course, is that this isn’t a chance to learn in a “classroom” sort of way (though you Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
