Those who know me online KNOW that I am all about relationships.<\/p>\n

That’s my currency and my value to people is my word. As contests like the GREATEST REAL ESTATE AGENT IN THE WORLD<\/a> unfold…sometimes all you can do is correct things as they go…<\/p>\n

Bob Wilson from San Diego and a couple of others did me a great service yesterday by clarifying something for me. He enquired about whether he would get a link back from my page AFTER the contest was over (with a bio and a picture for being one of the greatest real estate agents in the world). I indicated that he would. <\/p>\n

In doing so, it “could” be claimed that I violated the spirit of the competition…I do NOT want to do that in any way… Sometimes you have to CLARIFY positions as you go and for me it is time to make things clear.<\/p>\n

The true benefit that you get from joining my team is that you can work with the best of the best in building AUTHORITY online. This is NOT about trading links and has never been. We have learned more together as a team and formed some great relationships. (Wanna join us and LEARN together?) That is what it is about. If you linked to me in the hope of getting a link back:<\/p>\n

PLEASE take your links down. I do not need that kind of help and I humbly apologize for the misunderstanding.<\/p>\n

Here is what I hope:<\/p>\n

That you can SEE the sincerity and HEAR the honesty in what I am writing and that because I am being totally upfront about this you will still want to participate. In fact, if you really want to be part of TEAM Eric…simply start building some on line authority and pass it to us.<\/p>\n

And thanks Bob for pointing it out in the email to me last night. When I make mistakes I try to correct them quickly. I had to talk with existing team members to make sure that they had no misunderstandings as well. <\/p>\n

I will be posting this same message on several places on the web in Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
